Schitt freya preamp hum- how do I get rid of this?


When I use the tube output mode it hums. It goes away  in solid state Mode.  Does this mean I have to replace the tubes or is it just because it's a cheap preamp?

How many inputs do you have connected? are any TV or cable?

You may have a ground loop fault. Turn everything off, unplug all inputs, leave output to amp and speaker connected. Turn it back on, if the hum is gone then it's one of your inputs. Reconnect one at a time.

Other method to check (NOT a recommended fix) is to lift the ground on the Freya power cord.
