help my ears before they leave me
Hello yammy mammys, this question goes out to all the a3k users out there.
My a3k is too too too noisy. It emmits a remarkably, bearly audible, high frequency piercing tone, and it is driving me crazy. I can not put it in the next room, cause I need to use its interface, but I can't listen to it anymore. I was reading on the a3k forum about a cat who put a different fan in his a3k to quiet the noise. Though his process involved, I believe, soldering resisters into the power for the fan. Well, I balk at that, only cause I love my sampler, (despite the noise) and I'd hate to leave its fate in the hands of my soldering. Anyhow, the question is: Has anyone swapped out a fan in the a3k to reduce noise, and if so, where'd you get the fan, and how much, and thank you very much.
I have another question involving loading samples, in a3k native format, but I'll leave that for latter.
