Background:
Wife ordered a new credenza that houses our entertainment center. Unfortunately she didn't take measurements and my old receiver didn't fit in it, so I had to get a new one. While doing this I picked up a Harmony Companion to make everything compatible with my phone and eliminate the remote.
Outside of a new Denon receiver, I kept my old speakers as they still worked well. I have Definitve Technology 5.1 Pro Cinema system with the sub, bought it in 2008. I had a theater dude set up the new receiver and hook up the Harmony hub to everything.
The whole thing was working great for two weeks with the old speakers/sub and new receiver. Last night I was on the couch and heard a repetitive sound. The best way I could describe it was; I live in an apartment building, the noise sounded like my neighbor was running a washing machine or dryer at a distance. Kinda at a distance like a flight up or down, but very noticeable constant tapping, like the wheel of the machine running in circles and kinda loose. I shut the TV and still heard it, so I ruled the system out and assumed laundry was being done by a neighbor.
Same noise again tonight, I got up and investigated, it's coming from the sub, all connections appear okay and the noise even continues when I turn the TV off.
Audiophile forum info I found says it might be the amp in the sub? This isn't my background and I have no clue. It's a Definitive Technology Pro Cinema sub, about 8 years old. These things are supposed to last 15-20 years, no?
Any suggestions?
TIA
