Hi Paul,

I've got my 200c running now, but I have one more question:

How much mechanical tranformer noise (buzzing) is expected from one of these amps? On mine, the contactor hums a bit and the transformer hums more, especially once it's really warmed up. It doesn't drown out the music or anything, but it's certainly noticable from several feet away in a quiet room. Paraline has offered to revarnish the transformer if I send it out to them, but I'm wondering whether what I'm hearing is characteristic of these transformers.

For reference, the amp that the 200c is trading places with is an Adcom 555 Mark II, and its so quiet that I actually have to press my ear to it to hear any mechanical noise.

Thanks again,
Paul
