NVA intermittent clicking sound

Unread post by Fretless »

The last few days I have noticed an odd 'Click' coming occasionally from the left speaker in my main system. Sometimes quite loud.

This got steadily worse, more pronounced and frequent. I suspected a digital cause, a spurious data hiccup somewhere in the streamer & DAC path.

Turning all that off didn't remove the click. And when I turned the volume pot on the preamp to zero the noises were still happening.

Must be the left-channel A40 monoblock, then.

Time to check the connections. Switching everything off I started to unplug the SSP interconnect and found a mains lead running across it behind the amp.
Shifted the stray lead, cleared some space to give the interconnect a free run and hooked it all back up again.

Click gone, problem solved.

Just thought I'd mention it. :grin:
