Thanks Sean, Hmmm, really seems like a plastic rattle. We have a set of torx drivers in the lab at work (I'm an electro-acoustics/audio engineer), but I wanted to check here before opening the unit. I'll check it out. If it's a cap or cable, I'll let you know. I'll try snugging the screws up and see if that helps first.
If another unit has the same problems as mine, you wouldn't need a microphone to observe it, the harmonics of the vibration are very audible and correlated with the bass envelope. Initially I thought it was the preamp my SB3 is sitting on cause it was so loud, but it turns out when I lift the SB3, mechanically isolating it, my whole setup no longer rattles. Pin pointing the rattle took a bit, but once I held the upper left corner of the display tightly, the rattle ends. So the piece of paper just forces distance and pressure between the display face and the plastic housing, which seems to limit the rattle. Unfortunately this looks bad, so I'm trying to figure out if there's an internal solution. My bezel is coming off too, which I'm going to fix with double sided 3M tape, so that probably gives you an idea of the era my device was manufactured. -- verbatone ------------------------------------------------------------------------ verbatone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3556 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43103 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
