X5 ac adapter buzz

[huey2001]

Hello all,
I have tried the Fosi Box X5 as pre-amp for my MM record player. I liked the sound, size and looks, but the AC adapter (for 220V input) made a buzz just loud enough to be disturbing. I therefor have returned the X5.
I now wonder if more people have this experience, is there something to be done, or an alternative brand AC adapter. Or has Fosi maybe even (hopefully) addressed this issue and currently include a better silent adapter?
If there is a solution to the buzz I consider buying it again...

I have exactly the same problem. It's loud enough that I'll have to send back too.

It's a shame as it seems great otherwise.

Just unlucky? Is it worth trying again?

Same problem here, just returned mine. I was thinking the same thing as you - should I try another one? I really like the amp, sound is great except for when you have a break in the music and you hear the humming and buzzing. I've tried everything I can think of to correct the problem.
