Ref 50 processor whine???

[RedStep]

I have been reading about the coveted Ref 50 having noise at low volumes. While some can live with this, some find it annoying or unacceptable.

From what I can gather, it is the absence of the mute circuitry. Now when you add volume, you can't hear the noise. I have also read that one consumer said that a couple of the RCA outs were touching the metal on the black panel...

Some say that this is not a new thing, and was inherent on the 20 & 30. I understand B&K are selling alot of these units, and this doesn't seem to be a concern for most.

Is this normal for most pre/pros or could it be a B&K design flaw???

Good questions Red, I don't know. But if it's when the vol is all the way down, how often will that realistically be?

Not much IF I had one (next year)...True Lex

I have also heard, more than once, of a "pop" noise when switching between modes. Again I've heard it was true descrete chanels or because they don't have a noise filter...whatever the case, it can be annoying. Buyer beware
