My ITP A3 seems to noticeably vibrate. Moreso on medium, a little on low and not at all on high. I'm sure it's related to the PWM circuit somehow. Has anyone else had this problem? Should I send it in under warranty?

That sounds like an inductor issue.... the little piece of metal inside it is thwacking around.

I mean the light body is physically vibrating.
Uh oh, it's getting worse, its got loud buzzing now and in low it flickers and then defaults to high. Think I'll have to send this in.

Yep, that's what I was saying. The inductor core comes loose and thwacks around with the magnetic currents. The longer you leave it on, the more it breaks apart the inductor casing and the more freedom of movement it has. The inductor has to be replaced, there's nothing you can do about it.
