    Default Noise coming through the speakers via the amp...

    Hi,
    Looking for some advice please? I bought a new streamer and integrated amp last Friday.

    I’ve noticed there is some noise/click coming through the speakers when I turn the Exposure 3010S2D integrated amp on. It’s only been minor until last night…

    I turned the system off at the wall socket. (The system is connect via a mains strip). The reason I turned the system was I had to remove something from my system.
    I turned the amp back on. There was a thud and the base drive unit vibrated and came out a lot more than usual (luckily I had turned the volume down as I normally do). Also the lights came on and stayed on for all the inputs. I tried turning the select knob but the lights stayed on.

    I turned the amp off and on again and there was a click but nothing like the thud I had previously and the only input light when came on was the one selected.

    I played some music at very low volume to start and slowly turned it up. It seems like the speakers are OK but I want to find out what has caused this and stop the click coming through the speakers.

    Hopefully I’ve explained myself clearly?

    My dealer is contacting Exposure but I’d like to get some advice from the members here too.

    Cheers
    Rob

    Try the amp without the streamer plugged in. Might be the streamer is outputting some DC.

    Certainly sounds a bit like dc getting onto the output

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    To check which device is the culprit turn the streamer on first then the amp, and vice versa?

    Just tried it. It makes the click noise only when the streamer is switched on. No noise when I just turn the amp on first, with the streamer switched off.

    Does seem like a streamer issue then?

    In that case, try another of the same streamer and if that is the same, then you need to re-think the streamer.
