I remember Dynobot taking heat for posting pictures of his broken iFi iUSBPower supply almost a year ago. There was a heavy metal bar inside the case that came lose when the glue let go. Nice. I've never been a fan of glue or silicone bathtub sealer as a construction method for securing parts in audio gear.I just received the iFi iPower wall wart (9v model) with - "Active Noise Cancellation+® drawn from military radar technology". Love the over the top marketing hype! ;-)
Unfortunately it appears that a piece of this "Active Noise Cancellation" technology is rattling around inside my iFi iPower! It sounds like a screw or other tiny component broke lose. I can't open it up to take a look because the wall wart is sealed around its plastic seams.
Oh well, it was only $50 (for a wall wart!!?) so I'm asking the retailer to exchange it. I'm not sure if that's the route to take or iffy I'll have to contact the manufacturer.
[UPDATE]: Retailer was very responsive and agreed to ship me a replacement.
Vroom! Vroom!
