Having just taken BigBlue round the block and got it into 5th and discovered how quiet it is compared to 5th in Rudolph. I'm kind of questioning wether Rudolph is typical of other LT85's? 1st to 4th is lovely and quiet. Put it into 5th and the noise level goes up *dramatically*, despite lots of sound deadening material and carpet. Its a sort of bearingy/metallic whooshhhhhh sound. Familiar? As for volume level, you can talk loudly over it, just. But it is getting to be unpleasent.
So, are recon's any better? or even worth the expense? I tend to go with the 'if it aint broke.... dont fix it' principle. Or has anyone discovered any magic potions (snake oil?) that quietens it down and lasts more than 5 minutes?
Thanks, Beth
