Hi,
The clicks are normal. They are very "strong" when you first get the Phoenix but quiet down pretty quickly with use, IME. Then you may notice just a few tics on certain steps. It does not seem random to me, It seems to be always the same steps that click, but it gets so quiet you have to listen for it. They are louder as you go towards less attenuation. The relays clacking in the box will always be there.
Thanx for posting the PIX of the dings and scratches. Looks like we've found the secret manufacturer of Grado Headphones, it's A-GD! QC looks about the same with those two companies, definitely not something for A-GD to aspire to, QC wise.
A-GD continues to have QC issues. Not sure why the QC issues can't be resolved. At this point with how blatant these are, the conclusions one could come to are:
1) Kingwa doesn't care or understand, even though he says he does.
2) For some reason he can't fix them
3) He's running so close to the edge, the operation has become too big to control.
A-GD should hire people that all they do is QC, he obviously has issues that big. One of the Transfos in Bob's Phoenix was loose at all 4 corners. A potentially dangerous situation.
Getting a Good piece of gear shouldn't be a crapshoot.
