Hello,
I have a pair of RS-1 headphones that have developed a fault in the right channel. Normally I would simply send these back for repair - however this is the second time this fault has occured with this set of headphones.
As I live in the UK usually the repair time is 8-12 weeks so I dont want to get them fixed and find the same fault happen again - could this be another aspect of my system? Or just sheer coincidence?
The first time the right channel failed were when the headphones were less than a week old - at that time I was using a Benchmark DAC1 connected via my PC.
Since then Ive added a record player and a Mapletree Ear amplifier to my system that I use and the fault has re-appeared after 6 months of use.
I dont listen to particularly bassy music or have the volume cranked up loud so Im puzzled as to what could be causing this ??
Any insights or tests that anyone could suggest would be appreciated
I do have access to proffesional audio oscillators/monitors from work if thats of any help in fault finding?
Thanks
