ayre v-5xe has consistant noise after warm up

Now I see how these "newbie" members like Testpilot get so many threads answered in such little time. He's a troll.

Michael said after paying shipping both ways, there may not be a fix anyway, so you can live with it,or they would look at it. I just bought the unit used and the previous owner just got it back from Ayre for a different problem, and was told by Michael that everything was checked out. I talked to Michael before I bought the unit, and again since I heard the problem.I could not get any idea what could be wrong from Michael which is why I came here. The seller from a different site was rather difficult.

The amp will make this noise sitting by itself, not hooked up to any other equipment or speakers.

The noise right now is a nuisance. Michael's advise to live with it because there may not be a fix, and it still functions may be the best approach right now. My initial question is not being answered. Has anyone dealt with this? I find it hard to even explain, so a past experience would be helpful. I have a good tech,if I could get a better grip on what may be happening, except Michael says Ayre equipment always gets sent back to the factory because of there uniqueness.

Well, maybe Brf jammed my thread enough, I won't get a relevant answer.

I have seperate dedicated lines. I played the amp in one line, then another and then plugged into an Audience conditioner and I still get the noise.

I would not say it would have to be an Ayre owner, but you are correct, I had already eliminated most of the tangibles on my own. I would like some past experience to run by my local tech, because I don't know what to tell him. I did get some constructive feedback from Audio Asylum. Also I'm testy from bouncing around on meds from an open heart surgery in August. My apologies.

I placed the amp on it's side as commuincated by mike of "Ayre Fame" and found the transformer needed tightened. In tightening the transformer the noise dissapated, until now, you hear nothing.
