Post Subject: Light noisePosted by N-set on: 3/26/2011

This is probably a related question to LED bulbs with their electronic transformer crap inside.
I have not noticed any noise with the full volume up on my Stax O2 so far and
I was intentionally looking for it. There is only a gentle crack when I switch the light off.
But I use at the moment the EMT155st which is...what it is, so I may not hear it all.
Anyway, I use the light only when changing/adjusting, during the playback
the light is off. I have to ask the manufacturer if the transformer inside
is a normal magnetic one or the electronic crap. I'm as well thinking of moving this lamp
to the RCM and going for another one, more powerfull:

making the 230V/12V trafo myself, far away, and double shielded.
I think dimmers emitt a LOT of RF polution.
