| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? Thanks everyone again for your advices and sharing your experiences. I will post an update if I’m able to make any progress on tracking this down. Who knows, it might not happen again 😄 | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? Thanks @ghdprentice, assuming the issue is from one of the tubes, do you think tube dampeners may help minimize the chance of these popping noise? | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? @durte30, I think I've got about 120 hrs on the Linlai at this point. @cub, this only happens from my digital source, i.e. my streamer. | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? @invalid, thanks for sharing that. Does this happen consistently? That must be so annoying. I think that would bug me to no end. 😀 | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? Thanks @acman3, I wonder if it can indeed caused by a hiccup from streaming. So far I've only experienced this issue while streaming from Tidal or my own MinimServer running on my NAS. If I know how to edit a digital file, maybe I can reprodu... | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? I think the trickiest thing about this issue is that it happens so infrequently, and I can’t reproduce the problem. So diagnosing will take a long while. That’s why my obvious focus is the latest change that I make to my system. I have never come... | |
| Lumin T2 burn in time? Sounds good. Thanks again @thingswelike! | |
| Lumin T2 burn in time? OK. Thanks @thingswelike, it’s good to know. I’ll try it out. One other question if you don’t mind. Does this shuffle feature work well with the repeat feature? i.e will it repeat the same random order again after all the songs are played? ... | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? Thanks @buellrider97, I've been thinking about tube dampers. I have read some good comments about them. | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? @buellrider97, thanks for sharing your experience. I might try reinstalling my new tubes and see what happens. When I first got the Linlai tubes, I was inserting them into a pair of tube socket savers. I did that because I was thinking about doing... | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? Hi @immatthewj, I don't own a CD player anymore. It is so 20th century. 😀 I'm inclined to think that the culprit could be something with the preamp or the new tubes. Also @petg60, I'm pretty sure the pops are not happening with the same song... | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? Thanks @atmasphere @dekay. My hunch right now is the preamp or the tubes are the culprit. That's because I've never had any issues with my system before the introduction of the Cary. This is probably going to take a while to track down... | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? Thanks @atmasphere for your instructions. The problem is that I think I've heard the pop from either left and right channel before, but not at the same time. So the problem doesn't seem to be specific to a single channel. I sure hope that this... | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? HI @immatthewj, my amp is the solid state Parasound JC5. Thanks. |
