Is it normal to have black spots on the aluminum of the Fidelio L1? Mine came out of the box with quite a few black spots on the aluminum.

No there shouldn't be black spots. 2 things could be the issue. 1. Manufacturer defect in the chem process or 2. They are imposters that were made by a far less superioir Chinese company. I hope for you it's not number 2. I would try to exchange them.

That is not normal. My aluminum is uniform and clean. You won't regret the sound on these, so if you can get them to replace, I'd stick with them.
1366505
Mine doesn't seem to have - can anyone post photos of it so others are aware and know what to look for ?
1366506
Yes，my L1 came out of the box with quite a few black spots on the aluminum too.
1366507
If it looks like little sand pebbles, then yes. I noticed these little black spots near the aluminum joints. I'll probably ask Philips about this since it's not just me.

just looked at mine. There are very small, almost microscopic spots on the aluminum portion of the headband. Never noticed them before.

there is some static noise yes..as with many amps...but if it is minimal when playing..you are good. If not, I would contact the seller.

I usually never had that problem unless I pushed them too hard, I bought two of these amps, each one pushed a mofo 12" sub. When I got one of them it seemed like something was rattling inside of it, like a peice of metal. Opened it up and sure enough it was. Check the amp, check all your connections, and play with the settings according to your music type. It also varies what your sub or subs your pushing. My best answer is in your connections. See if that helps. Like where your ground is located and how good your ground connection is. But factory defaults do happen, especially if they are cheaply made and mass produced.

Yes, this appears to be normal. My unit also turned black on the outside of the racket within the first week of usage. It seems to need time to cool-down even when the switch is off. I have killed so many bugs and Warrior Supreme has been excellent. I had to admit it, but I go bug hunting around my apartment. It has never failed. Hope this answer helps.

Check spring tension under back plate and check tremalo block for cracks also under back plate ps:never store guitar in case or gigbag with tremalo arm instaled

I haven't experienced this issue but I'm sure I will at some point. My issue is with a buzzing sound when pressing two keys down at the same time. Casio doesn't have a repair shop close to my house, the nearest one was an hour away so I didn't repair it. Good luck!

Hmmm...usual options first. Make sure needle isn't damaged, player is on flat surface, records are clean, etc. I honestly haven't had any issues with mine and I use it at least once a day. And it sits on a djembe drum! Worst case scenario you may have to trade it in for a new one.

I've had mine for a while, but I didn't notice any dimple defects. I haven't had any problems with mine. I'm so sorry that so many people have. They must have made a lot of bad ones.

Thank you! I finally solved the hum problem by plugging the iMic into "Line Out" on my amplifier instead of directly into my turntable. The hum disappeared! Hope you got your hum solved, too.Maria

When I received your request, I had just finished purchasing some new LPs. So as an experiment I immediately put one the new albums in a new Master Sleeve. When I pulled the record out to play. I could not see any dust. When I played it using an ONKYO TX-535 with 2 Klipsch Synergy F-20s 2 Klipsch Synergy F-30, using a Audio-Technica AT-LP1240-USB that is using an Audio-Technica AT120E cartridge. The sound was crystal clear as usual. When I run out of my current supply of Master Sleave's, I will be buying more. I have never seen such a well made sleave, that is so easy to use and gives great protection to my LPs. When I received your request, I had just finished purchasing some new LPs.

I would agree with the others. I did a quick google search and it does sound as though it might have something to do with the layers possibly not fusing together properly. Definitely not normal! I thoroughly enjoy mine, so you may want to give some thought to giving them a second chance and have them replace it. Good luck with whatever you decide! :)

The reaction happens with certain lacquer finishes when in contact with rubber, this is something more to do with the finish on your instrument than it is the capo. However, Im sorry to hear of the issue, try replacing the rubber with a foam or another material for padding, or purchase another capo that uses something other than rubber for padding. Best of luck!

The guitar vendor will send one if contact them. It's well worth a try. My guitar was perfect after I set it all up. Alston has a good reputation for helping customers. Good luck

Well mine was Ok not perfect but good for the price,I had to do a little work setting it up but its the same with all guitars.I ordered mine from the UK amazon site and it came from Germany.It might be worth trying a different supplier as I guess they vary a bit from batch to batch.Overall I am please with mine and use it regularly.

We had ours almost a year and nothing yet (rust),..I believe the black paint is of a high temp grade. It looks really nice. We use Landmann's cover for this model (ordered it separately) and cover it during the 6 months of winter. We love ours!~

Although I have not noticed any cosmetic flaws I have seen some shoddy soldering on the board. The worst being the contacts for the RCA inputs. Two of the contacts have too much solder so they have joined into one solid piece. I will have to go back and redo the solder points to ensure they are not shorting something out and causing interference. Might as well do all the points and use some silver solder.

Did you by chance remove the tone and volume knobs on the guitar to remove the clear plastic cover on the pick guard? I knew someone who did that and when he replaced the knobs they were not in the correct postion so when he thought he had it at full volume it was not producing sound, because it was in a postion for no sound .
