Aesthetix Io transformer noise


Calling Aesthetix Io owners. How normal is noise ( a constant buzzing sound) from the transformer in the power supply ? Should it be audible 5 ft away ? This is a new unit with barely 20 hrs on it.To hear anything from the transformers on my Parasound JC1s I have to put my ear up against the top plate and then only faintly audible. Experiences will be greatly appreciated.

After reading this I can only conclude Aesthetix must have changed a lot since I owned them.  My IO and Callisto were first rate and transformers were quiet.   Yes, finding superb, quiet tubes is tougher than ever especially if you love NOS variety.

Perhaps as long as they have been around these few posts represent only a few dissatisfied customers ?

I'm surprised Glenn and Jim White did not respond to complaint about noise.  I know there was a transformer update some years ago and if I recall it involved Mercury Magnetics transformers.

Agree.
