Mechanical buzz coming from the chassis


I have noticed a mechnical vibration causing a low level buzz eminating from the chassis of one of my monoblocks. The buzz is not audible through the system. It is only audible when your ear is close to the amp. Also if I squeeze the chassis the vibration stops.

The amp is a Quicksilver mid-mono with KT88 tubes.

Any ideas on how to solve the problem?

I had the same problem with my Quicksilvers. I called and was told if the amps were on a shelf I should put carpet underneath amps which solved the problem. I bought a set of isoblocks (cork blocks)and put them under the feet of the amps and they work great. I think that should have been mentioned in the owner's manual.
