Kharma MP 150 any user?


Hi I am using Kharma MP 150 monos for some time now and recently I have placed them on Solid Tech stand. I can hear slight buzz from them at my seat. It is not from the speakers, it is from the amps. Any users outhere who can tell me if it is normal?

Fabulous amplifier by the way!

Before you do anything else, take the amps off of the stands and see if the buzzing stops.

If it does, buying power cords, speaker cables and/or interconnects might not help is the buzz is a vibrational issue.

My isolation transformer buzzed louder the harder it worked, but it buzzed more when I sat it on a maple block of wood. when I placed brass points under the transformer as it sat on the wood, the extra buzzing went away.

Throwing money at cables is like taking anti-depressents for depression. They may or may not work, because there's an actual reason that a person is depressed, and it's not being addressed. If your amps are buzzing on the stands, there's a reason for it that should be addressed.

See what the difference is on and off of the stand before you try shots in the dark with things that may be unrelated.

Also, are the screws or whatever in the rack as tight as they should be? If you like the sound better with the amps on the rack, have you tried placing a weight on the top of the amps to add some mas and dampen the vibration?

I think that you're going to find that eventually the buzzing will start eating at you. It's there and your background isn't as quiet as it should be and the buzzing, even though slight, is still masking some detail that you would be hearing without it.

I hope that you can come up with a solution to stop that buzz. I think that you'll like your system even more if you do. I wish you the best of luck finding a solution.
