Hey,
I can actually hear a slightly modulated/distorted version of my signal physically coming from the small "tape head" coil on the circuit board. Is this normal? For moderate level musical signals it's pretty inaudible unless I really crank the drive, but for sinusoidal test signals I can hear it from a meter away. The level does need to be fairly hot. Anyone else noticed it?

the varnishing of the coil is probably insufficient.
Contact me for a replacement.
