Amp has loud buzzing sound, might be defective. The crunchy sound of distortion advertised isn't as crunchy as I thought. A basic distortion amp; however the amp I purchased is either defective or built with the odd extra buzzing feedback, which obviously is not natural for a electric amp; it ends up inhibiting the user (almost disgruntling) from enjoying the loud distortion sound.

The T amp sounded amazing while it lasted its short 5 minute life. I paired it with a PSW111 and Tsi100, and the sound quality was incredible. I could tell exactly where the instruments were coming from and the mids were very warm and highs bright. But shortly afterwards the amp smelled like it was burning and my right speaker popped...so I guess I have a T amp with no right channel functionality and a potentially messed up right speaker. :(

I did my research and I thought I was getting a NEW amp.... But when I opened the box the item looked used. The housing for the bass nob on the amp had a piece missing. The power/round/remote terminals displayed sing of previous instal. To top things off the amp wouldn't turn on. All it would do is blow my main 100amp fuse. I went through 4 fueses and ended up installing a different amp. I hope the replacement amp I receive is NEW and that it actually works! Save yourself the headache Don't buy this amp.

The tone on this amp is top notch. Nice clean tones and it breaks up smoothly at moderate volumes. The reverb is great too. But, the example I got is plagued by buzzes and rattles. There are a few frequencies where this is particularly bad but it varies from a tolerable but noticeable baffle buzz to an outright painful metallic sounding whole cabinet/electronics rattle. I've heard other folks have gotten units that have no problems but in general the rattle issues have been well documented and I know I'm not alone. There have been various work-arounds/fixes suggested but it's hard to swallow spending more $ on a brand new amp just to get it solid.

The sub-woofer amp works good for my needs. However the amp would start to buzz if I left the volume up too high.

Utilizing all new 0 gauge wiring, existing remote wire (as this was replacing an amp that was underpowering my sub) and the included 200A fuse - this amp refused to power on. Running through all the diagnostic steps, with 12.5-13.5V off/on, it seems to be an internal issue. And the window for returning expired last week from this posting, so I guess I can pay to ship it back under warranty but in all honesty I'd rather have my money back. I've used an SSL 4K amp in the past and it worked great, maybe I got a dud but regardless.. Guess I'll put my hifonics back in and order a new amp from another brand.
Would not recommend, unfortunately.

The unit itself seems nice, however I get a buzz on every speaker I've hooked it up to so far.  I feel like it's the power transformer, but it could be the unit itself.  I've tried ground lifts, a hum eliminator, with no avail.  Ended up using my old normal 2RU amp.

I just bought one at Best Buy. . .it absolutely doesn't work.  No sound at all.  The units connect up as indicated by the LED, but no sound comes out of the rear speakers.  It also causes my Amp to occasionally shut off, which I suspect is caused by a short.  Clearly when these work, they work well but there are major quality control issues. . .

UPDATE: I went back to Best Buy to exchange this unit and asked to test out the new one before taking it home. . .I did so with several folks from the A/V department. . .the new one didn't work.  Neither did the next one. . .or the next one. . .there were varying issues with each.  One shorted out and died when we hooked up the left speaker wire.  The others were just silent, with no sound.  They appeared connected, the volume was up, there was definitely a signal. . .nothing.  I got my money back.

I have this buzzing sound coming from the DVD player that makes the experience of watching DVDs horrible.
I don't know how to eliminate the buzzing sound. Another friend of mine bought the same DVD player but used HDMI cable to connect to his HD tv. He did not have this problem.
I, on the other hand, still don't have an HD TV so I have the buzzing noise going on on my installation.

Can anyone please help me to eliminate this noise?

Thanks.

Update on 1/5/12: I figured out what the problem was... I had plugged the red cable in the wrong place in the dvd player... the red one is an AUDIO cable and after I plugged it in the right slot it worked perfectly...  GREAT SOUND...  this dvd player is really great!

Thanks.

I agree that the amp produces good sound, but only up until a certain point. The distortion is massive if you take it over half volume. If you need more power than 10w a channel, go buy something better and save your time and money.

It does make noise, a buzzing sound that is kind of louder than expected

Received this Item as expected but I am hesitant to use it because I can hear what sounds to be a piece of metal inside the power supply that moves freely.  please help me resolve.  Email was not responded to.  Please advise Roypow

Sounded pretty good, but the third time i used it, the amp blew.  It was wired and working fine, then suddenly got loud and then never worked again.  Too bad it wasn't a few days sooner so i could have returned it and gotten a new one.

I bought this same amp worked good for like 5 months and it suddenly just stop working. So I check wiring because it thumps. The amp seems to turn on but there's no sound this sucks now I have to shop for one

While you're playing something there is not problem and they sound good, otherwise there is a buzzing sound. It is not the AUX cable. The same buzzing is there without the cable. :-( oh well.

Unit arrived in white WEN box - bod punctured but unit was undamaged. When plugged in the motor started up and hummed and vibrated severely. I then cycled it through the motor speeds and it appeared to go from loud hum to full blow. Turned it off and it went back to loud hum. Also, when cycling it through the speeds, sometimes it would revert to loud hum then the next speed. I surmise that the electronics are screwed up.  Returning it to Amazon.

CAVEAT: the problem I'm describing MIGHT be related to my amplifier.

I bought this cable to connect my computer's 1/8" out to an amp I have set up in my office.  The cable I had before got its plug bent and would often slip in the port, causing an insanely loud buzz.  When everything was connected properly, it was fine, but it would just slip.  So, I bought this long cable (the one I was replacing was JUST long enough to get the job done, and inconveniently so).  Everything works fine EXCEPT when it's not plugged into anything.  When there's no circuit made between the ground and live portions of the plug conductors, the amp hums at a very low but audible volume.  When I plug it into the computer, it goes away, but when the computer goes to sleep, the connection is disabled, and the hum begins again. So, now I have to remember to turn the amp on and off with my usage.  Not what I'd hope for.

Again, the problem COULD be my amp.  However, no other cables I've had in the past appear to have this issue, and the issue occurs on all inputs on the amp.  If anyone with electrical engineering experience could offer insight, I might recant my less-than-favorable 2-star review.
