Same here. But definitely an issue to be kept under the radar. Mine came from audiophonics.No issues so far. Just received my E50 today. Fantastic sound.

Orchard Audio makes some nice boards too. Different application than the PA5, though.It's not just hypex and purifi. There is the MA12070 (as in the Topping PA3S, a friend has it), which is excellent.
I have class AB amplifiers and also a double MA12070 from Sabaj, and the sound is excellent.
I tested my PA5 and have the same result as yourself. If the power is turned on with input 1 selected, there is no relay noise but if the power is turned on with input 2 selected, there is the sound of a relay clicking. If the PA5 is powered up and I switch between input 1 and input 2 there is no relay click. Other than that peculiarity it works perfectly.I don't t understand. If I change channel switch, there is no relay click. I can hear relay click (delayed) only when change power switch and input switch is set to channel 2.
Can anyone PA5 owner confirm this relay behavior?

CoolThat's normal behavior.
Thanks. I was confused with speaker protection. It seems to me that relay does some channel switching which is triggered by channel switch.That's normal behavior.
Hi @Laserjock@wlgreg do you hear with music playing also?
Any dimmer switch circuits near the outlet you’re using?
Yes, you can.Sorry if I'm late to the game on this review but ... a question if I may...
Does anyone know if this amp knows the TRS trick where you can use it single ended by plugging in a TS (mono) plug?
Thank you. Time to place an order.Yes, you can.
Yes, but you will have reduced amplifier power.Does anyone know if this amp knows the TRS trick where you can use it single ended by plugging in a TS (mono) plug?
It's pretty normal to lose about 6db this way. But so long as it doesn't shut down one side of the BTL pair, that's acceptable.Yes, but you will have reduced amplifier power.
What do you mean?But so long as it doesn't shut down one side of the BTL pair, that's acceptable.
Yes, but only at the input connector.... It's done in pro-audio quite a bit.What do you mean?
With the TS plug, you short-circuited the negative line to ground.
