I know this sounds hard to believe but my iRiver iFP-795 recorded perfectly with no preamp noise at all - UNTIL I upgraded the firmware from 1.24 to 1.25. Now I got that slight clicking / squealing (like some moving parts) sound. I also noticed that the recording level is higher at the same setting than before. I want my old firmware back.
