    High noise levels in Eden Metro

    in Repairs and Technical

    Posted

    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

    High noise levels in Eden Metro

    in Repairs and Technical

    Posted

    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
