Definitely not the sound of silence :

I turned on my Belles 150 amp today after being out of town for a while, and I immediately heard a high pitched oscillation accompanied by a buzz coming out of my speakers. I turned all other components off, and the noise persisted.

Any ideas what it might be? I turned almost everything off in the room and I still heard the sound.

I'm going to try another amp to see if that fixes the problem.

I unplugged the tv and the sound still persisted.

Can lightning affect a system that's off and connected to a surge protector?

Well, crap. I really liked that amp and I can't afford another one at the moment. Note to self - unplug audio gear when going out of town.

My surge protector is nothing fancy - a Monster Cable unit that I picked up w/my HT purchase.

Wow, this sucks. On the upside, I guess I can start shopping for a new amp.

Anyway, thanks for the heads up, folks. Anyone want to buy a fried Belles 150? hehe
