Yeah, I suppose we've all heard this tale of woe before. My new RKV - the latest version - sounds as if I've got a flourescent bulb wrapped around my head. Loud hum with the volume pot all the way down, and gets progressively louder as the knob turns. The problem lies with neither channel specifically, just a loud mono drone in the center of my head. Before purchasing this unit I had demoed another RKV in my system & it was dead quiet. I have to assume, therefore, that the problem I am having is related to this specific unit. I've got another set of tubes which I will install later. Hopefully this will be the solution. There's also quite a bit of turn-on & turn-off noise - a whole cachophony really. I was under the impression that this latest version was supposed to have eliminated this. If anyone out there has any other suggestions please let me know. I'm pretty upset right now. I got the unit from Divergent & don't relish the thought of having to ship the darned thing back to Canada (I'm in the U.S.).
