Brooks1 could very well be right on the money. The tranformer hum is a problem with the electrical current, so give the new 20amp lines a try. Good thing to have anyway...
New hum in preamp power supple and BPT 3.5 ???
Hello. A few days ago, I noticed that my First Sound preamp's power supply was humming loud enough to hear about 4 feet away. Then, my formerly dead quiet BPT 3.5 started humming, too. The BPT hums with or without anything plugged into it. Could I have a ground problem? If so, how would I find it and fix it? I have a metal strap attached to my cold water pipe. Also, a friend of mine said that all the houses in my neighborhood use the conduit/outlet boxes as the ground. He mentioned this to me when I asked him about installing an ACME outlet. There was no copper wire in the box to attach to the ground screw on the outlet. He said just the screws attaching it to the outlet provided the ground. Thanks for any ideas you may have.
