Audible Illusions Modulus 3A problems


I own an Audible Illusions Modulus 3A and it has the stepped attenuators. the right channel has started making very loud popping noises when changing settings. Once it is in a set static position it sounds fine. I used to be able to spray it with a cleaner and it would operate silently for a month or so but now it pops no matter what! I'm reluctant to send it back because I've heard horror stories about getting them back in ones own life time from the factory. Any suggestions ? Is this common? Any fixes? Is the factory the ONLY choice?

I do not think this this will help, but I heard that AI3A's built prior to moving to the Swiss made attenuators had more of a problem with the noise you indicate. I heard in the beginning of the stepped attenuator introduction there were problems like you discribe. If you have the older attenuators you may be out of luck. This may be a blanket statement that may not apply to all AI3A's so don't take my word for it.

The spray you use helps, but it is only a temporary solution. I think to get new attenuators it's about $250. I read somewhere it is a easy change, but is only offered at Audible Illusions.

call AI and speak to Art... see if he can help.
