Is it just a quick "fuzzy" sound from the speakers? I got the Nova150 on Friday and noticed a sound when powering on or powering off. I contacted Peachtree directly and they said it is normal for the sound at those times. Once the amp is powered on, it is dead quiet. I am really enjoying it.
New Peachtree Buzzing
I picked up a Peachtree Nova 150. I love the look and sound. It's powering a pair of Neat Iota speakers for my computer. I also plan to eventually add a turntable and sonos connect.
When I plug in the unit and power it up I get a buzz that my phone measures at 8.4kHz. I went back to the dealer and their floor model does this as well. I'm in the process of exchanging the amp with Peachtree.
I guess my question is... Do these switch mode power supplies frequently do this? I recall in CRT days being driven crazy by the high pitch whine/buzz. Since the amp is 2.5" from me should I just be looking for a big toroidal type power supply? Or is it a fluke that 2 of 2 units had this and I should continue with the Peachtree.
I was considering Marantz HD-amp1 but I'm concerned about power output for my not overly sensitive speakers should I ever move the setup to a larger room.
Thanks.
