I do agree with the above, but also I found that sometimes if your external power cords are laying in a certain position, perhaps too close to a component, or speaker cable or interconnect, that also can cause a hum. Also still keeping your digital and analog seperate , sometimes the order in which the plugs are in the outlets can have an effect. As I said I do not disagree with the above, but Ive had a few hums drive me crazy and this was a solution.
Need Help with Hum
I have a Krell 400cx, Krell KPS-25sc, Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista SACD, CAST cables, Von Gaylord Chinchilla ICs, Siltech Power cords, Siltech speaker cables, Rotel power conditioner, JM Lab Mini-Utopia, JM Lab Sub.
The system was working perfectly; not a spec of hum, dead silence.
I installed separate 30 amp and two 20 amp lines for the system, Hubbell outlets, and ran the wires below the floor to the outlets. IT all works but now the system has a faint hum but only when the Krell KPS preamp/CD is on.
Can anyone help me as to a starting point to diagnose the problem?
I am most appreciative. The work was done by an electrician who specializes in these kinds of home-tech installations and will also try to address it but I thought I would also ask all for ideas.
