Last night I realized a green (presumably LED) light blinking in control unit of my Ref 10 phono while the unit was switched off. The blinking frequency was approx 1 sec on-off and it kept going after I turned on the unit on and off. The intensity of the light is not strong so when lights are on at the listening room, it is hard to realize it, but when lights are off, it is easy to discover it via grills. I took out the power cord of power supply unit and then plugged in, it started again. I tested the unit via listening and did not notice any problems. Has anyone experienced a similar issue or any suggestions?

Hello Dmnc02, thank you for the feedback. It is a relief! I also have Ref 10 pre and as you stated I never noticed similar blinking led for that unit. Having said, it has been approx 200 hours of burning in for Ref 10 phono and I wonder how I missed that light from the beginning? It seems very unlikely as I mostly listen to music at late evenings and the dedicated listening room stays at dark before I turn on the lights, it is easy to verify a blinking led while it is dark. So, it may be the case this led thing might be new? Did you have that from the very beginning with your unit? Btw, I am so pleased with Ref 10 phono, it is a major upgrade over my old Ref 2 SE.

Yes, I am fairly sure the LED in the REF 10 Phono has been blinking from the very beginning. In the line stage, it is not that the LED does not blink: it is missing altogether. And trust me that at 200 hours you have not heard the REF 10 Phono yet.
My Proceed AVP2 had a similar internal LED. The Light Harmonic Da Vinci Dual DAC has a bunch of them if you peak through the acrylic trim. I think they are part of the power supplies? Rectifier(s) perhaps?

Unfortunately, more like 400 hours: I did not get all the flesh on the bones until well past 600 hours. It actually gets worse in this respect around 200-300 hours before it starts turning around. At least, that was my experience. But, as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait
Did you ever figure out what the blinking LED in the Ref Phono means? I noticed it tonight. Blinks whether it's turned on or off. Only pulling the power cord stops it. Curious.
