Review: Violectric HPA V200 amp
Jan 25, 2019 at 7:27 AM Post #2,897 of 3,062
I had a V200 and a V281. Could hear hum from the transformer in both when using IEMs. The V281's hum was about twice as loud which is expected considering it is essentially a double V200 with two transformers. They are definitely not the cleanest sounding amps.

Can you recommend me any IEMs for Violectric, which ones are a good match, I have the V220 so can yuo recommend what you use on your V200?

You could use an iFi ieMatch with the Andromeda. I guess the best "match" otherwise would be an IEM with low sensitivity? I don't have any low enough where I couldn't hear the hum without the ieMatch.

922 € in Europe. Had it on my wishlist at Thomann for a while hoping for a price decrease, but it never did and I bought something else.

I hear it with IEMs. I know "these aren't meant for IEMs", but I have much cheaper amps that are silent and can drive regular headphones just as well.

I wonder why you seem to be the only one dealing with this humming and noise issue ?

How many people did you poll? FWIW, the same humming with my HPA V281, just twice as loud, which makes sense since it's basically a double V200, with two transformers.
