received my RB10 and SET120 this weekend
Hooked everything up and there's 2 things I am noticing
First, I've never had a system that sounded better. Very rich , deeper soundstage than I'm used to , pretty wide soundstage , lots of decay info vs the little solid state integrated I was using before, stereo image in the center really floats from the floor to the ceiling. Great bass....the tube pre is just a bit warm which works so well for me.
However, I'm also getting a low level noise /hum/hiss out of both speakers. It's only noticeable when the music stops or during very low passages, but I suspect that even with the tube preamp, this is probably not as it should be.
Before I write Frank to ask him to help me diagnose it, curious if anyone here may have a suggestion?
The amp and pre are plugged into a Furman pst-8, my streamer is connected to my CAL DAC which is connected to the RB10 via a high quality interconnect. The RB10 and SET120 are connected to each other via a high quality interconnect.
I've got Supra speaker cable (20 ft) connecting my Omega Super 7's to the SET120.
The hiss is a little erratic ...not a constant periodic signal .
I've tried the chassis grounding rocker switch on the back and that has very little to no impact.
Any thoughts?
thanks
