Strange noises from new Audioengine A2's - Page 2

Hey guys thanks all for your input the paper rustling noise has settled a lot from when I first got them and it only occurs on certain tracks like the one mentioned above so I am fairly content to keep them and can only see them getting better as they have improved imeasurably over the last 3 or 4 days - am still pretty impressed with how much sound they produce for 2 small speakers!

I get no rustling sound when listening at comfortable sound levels, but when I increase the volume I definitely hear it. The XX track tho, I hear that even in my comfort zone. First time I've even experienced this.

Yea there is still a rustling sound on some tracks but it's not distortion and it isn't anything as bad as when I first got them.  Space was a major concern for me in getting these speakers so they strike a good balance between small size and reasonably good sound quality - I guess you can't have everything lol

Thanks everybody

I switched out the op amps in my Essence sound card today and that sound almost entirely went away (I would say 90% reduction)! I had the LT1358 installed and I replaced them with LT1469. Interesting...

Wow that is interesting ive been using mine with a FiiO LOD from my iphone 4S and the paper rustling sound is not as pronounced.  It's definitely not distortion either becuase when I put my ear really close to it I can hear like a whoosh of air up inside the cone it's definitely something to do with the amount of air they push but maybe soundcard as well as you've just found out.  They also get much better the more you break them in - mine sound completely differnt today than they did yesterday thats over a week burn in now so it's very strange the way these speakers change with burnin.  I thought burnin was nonsense until I got these lol

Ok, Intressting! 

Yeah, they sound much better after a break-in period, this is because of the high quality speaker drivers.

The break in time can take a very long time, like 200+ hours normal music.

Hey, seems I am reviving an old thread. I understood that the reason for the rustling noise, which I didn't check out yet.

The other noise, which sounds like pink noise, comes from power supply or speaker amp (it does not require any other cable connections than that to the power supply). It comes only from the right speaker as well. I do experience this noise after switching on as well, which after switching off stays for a few seconds.

My question is: Did this noise disappear with a new power supply or did the speakers need to be exchanged or is it just the way the speakers behave?
