Hey guys;
I've got a Lucid 8824 8 channel convertor - love it to death but the friggin' mechanical hum from the power tranny in this thing is unbelievable. I had the transformer replaced a year ago when I had the firmware updated but the new one is exactly the same now. I've tried everything to isolate it from the chassis, from foam bits to rubber o-rings on the bolts etc etc....nothing helps really.
So my question is this: Could a new one be made that is quiet? Someone here able to do it? I have the original tranny I could give to examine, but I have no idea of the number of turns etc etc. There are a few secondaries coming off it....figured I'd get the idea out there. I could approach a manufacturer like Plitron or ??
Anyone? Recommendations? Similar problems?
