Last night I tried using SB3 without the preamp. The noise coming from SB3 was incredibly loud! It was like, wow, who recorded the sounds of the beach? :-)
The amps were NAD C370's (two in a 300W monoblock configuration). Connecting M-Audio Revolution 5.1 sound card (PCI card in a PC) produced no noise. I also tried NAD C541i CD player, same again, no noise at all. I "tested" them at 100% power of the amps. With SB3, it was loud "shhhhhhhhhhh" noise (SB3 paused). I tried moving cables around, but nothing made a difference. Is it just my SB3 that has such a high level of noise or is it normal? Am I doing something wrong? Should I change the power supply of SB3? It can't have more noise than a 70USD sound card, can it? -- dcolak ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dcolak's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5864 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28514 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
