Hi All,
New to forum but 2 posts in 10 minutes.
Prior to my Audio Research 75SE failing, when listening to vinyl ( Kiseki Purple Heart 100 hrs ) and Icon Audio PS 3 phono stage ( 2000 hrs ) via Audio Research amps, I started getting a tapping noise ( mainly L channel ) very clearly through Martin Logan Expression 13A’s. (Imagine gently tapping a half full glass of chilled Sauvignon Blanc with a teaspoon and that is the noise exactly)
Tapping the valves directly had no effect and it only happened when a record was being played and signal being sent , not when the arm was raised. It did not happen with cd’s i.e. with the pre- amp set to cd, not phono.
I have had the Icon Audio revalved and also the LS26 ( 3000+ Hours)
I am waiting for a loan power amp but does this ring a bell with anyone?
The sound was fine, just the tapping that didn’t keep time with the music!
