| Vibration Source? That is a nice system with good resolution.Could very well be anomalies in the recordings.If you do get a small sample list together with time stamps some can check their own copies and see if it exists on the recording. I've had a few GRP and Co... | |
| Discussion of Class D Amps Application & Experiences For thirty plus years I have been a class A or A/B user. Have used tubes and SS in various system iterations along the way.

| Weird problem noticed today... Agree with mofi's suggestion of doing a hard reboot. Two updates back I had some audio anamolies as well as Spotify disappearing from the main menu. If the reboot doesn't work you can do a fectory reset but know that it wipes out all data stored... | |
