Musical Fidelity Buffer


I just purchased a used Musical Fidelity Buffer for an old solid state system just to experiment with. I hear a small crackling in the right channel, and wonder if anyone has had that problem. If so, does it go away after a few hours of warmup, or should I just send the thing back and forget about it.... This is the X10 V3 model using the Trivista tubes which are soldered in place.

I never could understand why anyone would insert a device in the signal path whose sole job is to introduce distortion into the system. And let's face it, that is *exactly* what a tube buffer does, plain and simple.

I thought the whole idea was to keep the signal path as short as possible with as few components as possible and still get the job done...
