Cause of speaker static?


Forgive the elementary nature of this question: what is the most likely source of low-level speaker static that is unaffected by volume control of pre-amp? System bi-amped, static created by both amps. Goes away when pre-amp shut off. Thanks.

DAC's occasionally emit scary sounding, crackly static. Turn off the power amps, toggle the input switch on the DAC, turn the DAC off and on, restart the power amps.

If you've got a tube preamp...listen as you whap the preamp with the palm of your hand. This sometimes works with tubed guitar amps but it's not usually a permanent fix :-)
