I offered to pick it all up (wanted the books) and put bits back on here about 2 minutes after he posted it, he wanted a day I could pick up and gave me postcode then never heard again so!

As a 2 cents, from using an already present *outside office* at my house and turning it into a Studio with 2 rooms. Resilient bars are good, even if just for decoupling. used in roof and walls to great effect. Have you thought of floating the floor inside? I have an outer wall with 2 inches of rockwool, resilient bars,2 layers of acoustic plasterboard with acoustic membrane between them, followed by a 2 inch + air gap all the way round (no parallel walls) floating inner room with acoustic plasterboard on outside, 2 inch's of rockwool followed by resilient bars, and another sandwich of acoustic plasterboard and membrane and found the results quite effective and did it all on budget of around £2800 or so.

+ a million for Joe White, amazing guy, amazing set ups, and not too badly priced!

i guess its down to how you define accepable noise!, it doesnt annoy me in the slightest at home, its more an issue when trying to sell, do you advertise it as having an issue or is it normal not enjoying the lack of portability offered by the eden so looking to move it on! Cheers Chris

That makes a lot more sense, The noise is present on both channels, Sounds to me like mains Hum (low level) with some noise when you crank it up (but it wasnt there before a service, present with many different IEC leads), with the gain set between 10-1 ie how the manual recommends its not a massive amount of noise even at sorta 50% volume. the noise is EQ'able (as you would expect). as you sweep the enhance control it brings out different parts of the noise (as it is a type of EQ), by the time you get to 25-30% of the main volume up the noise is almost unnoticeable. I can record some sound examples this evening if it would help. just dont want to have to send out the amp if it turns out its a common feature for the amps! Cheers Chris

Afternoon All, Have had a ongoing problem with an Eden Metro (I think, not even sure if its an issue or if im making one up) It has what seems to me a high noise level when powered on (not that high but high enough to be noticeable when first turned on and if Nothing else is on in the room while NOT playing) I had it repaired from a dead tube at Stevesamps and when it came back I thought it had a high level of noise, questioned this with steve and he gave me the impression it was a normal level of noise so I left it (and being effectively still a student unable to afford to put another £50-100 on top of the bill) Now its starting to get on my nerves as I am looking to move the amp on and obiously dont want people to waste journeys if its a higher noise level (being first large amp unsure what noise level is acceptable what power ect) Before I take it back to Steve again to have him looking at it is there anything people here can suggest? its had replacement tube and a few components during the service where it went in with a dead channel and came out with the noise Idiots checklist please if anyone has one! any help welcome Cheers Chris
