Like the LS1, the LS2B is a hybrid, meaning that there are mosfet followers after the triode tube which further amplifies the signal. It could be that the mosfet follower in the right channel has become noisey. The possible cause could be that the preamp was not unplugged & allowed to sit for a few minutes before tube rolling (a precaution not to be taken lightly), there is a good chance that this transistor could of been compromised. But definately try another 6DJ8 tube before coming to any final conclusions. By the way, ARC is not cheap for repairs!
Audio Research LS2B Mk 2 has a hissing noise
coming from one one channel (right) when I turn on the unit. There is a delay on the power coming on built into the pre amp for about 40 seconds. After this delay, the noise can be heard and gets quieter and disappears after a couple of minutes. The noise seems not to be related to the volume setting. Any thoughts? Any idea how much ARC gets to look at something? Thank you in advance.
