Given the increasing ownership of KEF's new Uni-Core mighty mouse, I thought I'd try to launch a thread to collate any ownership issues.
I'd like to start off with a concern I have over the LFE input: it's much noisier than on the MANUAL input!
Naturally, people might suggest generic Ground issues, but it's not a 50Hz hum; it's more of a random "ruffling" static noise, which completely disappears when the switch is moved from LFE to MANUAL. (The latter means the KEF's 4th-order Low Pass filter is being used instead of the Amp's).
It can't be the amp grounding otherwise it would show up on either switch position...?
My amp is a Devialet 220 Pro, which means I can set up a LP filter at source with a slope of my choosing.
I'd appreciate if a fellow owner could turn theirs up to at least notch #30 (or full volume!) and report if there's any noise difference between LFE & MANUAL. By the way, mine is connected in MONO to this phono input only.
I am getting a second one this week; I'll be very disappointed if it's a common design fault!
