MP60QD Wetside Humming

akopley · 03/14/2018, 11:04 AM

I just bought a pair of MP60s used and one of them is humming loudly. It's the wetside for sure as it does it with both dry sides. I took it apart and it appears to be clean. I have linked to a video so the issue can be heard and hopefully solved. I reached out to the person i bought it from and they basically said tough luck.

I ordered a new wetside last night, so if this is fixable I would love to know.

So the humming follows the wetside; regardless of which of the drysides are used? It's probably wear on the wetside, and a new one your best recourse.

That's the route I am taking. The guy i bought it from told me I broke it lol. I had him split the cost of a new wetside.

Seems quite reasonable (unless you overpaid for them

).

Agreed. The power supplies make some funny sounds but from what I’ve read that’s normal.
