I hope some fellow Caspian M2 owners might be able to offer some advice. I recently purchased this item as an upgrade to the Kandy III integrated amp. Sound is excellent but the hum from the transformer is bothering me. Its a steady hum, unaffected by isolating the unit or running it from the neighbours' mains supply. It is noticeable on entering the room and can be heard some 10 to 12 feet away. Is this normal?
Roksan's technical department say this is not as it should be but having sent it to the supplier for testing/replacement it was simply returned with the note " Not fault found - hum with in normal levels (sic)".
If any forum members have this product I would really appreciate some opinions on what is 'normal' in terms of transformer hum from this or any other make for that matter.
Whilst the level of hum may be something I have to learn to live with, and possibly get used to switching off the mains supply when not in use, I am disappointed to find such an annoying tendency from what to me is a piece of fairly high end kit.
So if you can find a few minutes to put your ears to your amps it would be much appreciated.
