I had a hum problem with a set of Kondo silver interconnects. If I wiggled the interconnect, the hum disappeared. I gave the interconnect RCA plugs and the female plug on the amplifier a good cleaning with some very, very fine steel wool, and I swear the problem went away. Tarnish on the connections causing a grounding issue? I don't know, but it seems fine now.
humming interconnects
I have a set of used Klyne dragonfly interconnects.
I had them connecting my new turntable to the Klyne pre -- and I was hearing a hum... so I checked the ground, etc.
I determined it was the interconnects -- the set I substituted do not hum and when I connected the Klyne's to the AUx -- the same hum.
any ideas how to fix or are these interconnects done for? what would cause this?
thanks.
