ayre v-5xe has consistant noise after warm up

My Ayre v-5xe amp makes a sound for a split second everytime after starting the amp. The sound comes from the amp at around 9 minutes after turning on and listening. It sounds like a smoke detector only not nearly as loud. The noise is noticable, but that's it, almost mechanical in nature. Has anyone dealt with this before. Michael at Ayre had no advise but to send it back, and even then there may not be a fix.

If Ayre has no idea as to your problem, I doubt that you will get any responses from Ayre owners with a similar problem.

Since you are obviously not looking for advice or suggestions as to what might be causing the problem, send it back to Ayre. You got your answer in the first post.

Since you don’t want to send the amp back to Ayre, your only option left is open it up, muck around inside until you either electrocute yourself or bugger it up to the point that your ONLY option is to send it back to Ayre. BTW, a lot amps don’t like to be turned on without a load attached.

Troll…really?

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

He only offered possible diagnostic solutions in a constructive manner and you dismiss him…nice

My initial question is not being answered. Has anyone dealt with this?

Again, other posters tried to offer help as to possible solutions/sources of problem, and they are dismissed.

So let’s be clear. You are NOT interested in trouble shooting the problem. You ONLY want to hear from other Ayre owners who have this same problem as you; a problem that even Ayre has never experienced before.

Good luck with that.
