Speaker Hum


I just moved into a new (to me, actually built in the mid 60s) house where no matter which outlet I use I get an audible hum through the speakers when the volume of the integrated amp is pushed past 50%. Would any power conditioners improve or eliminate this severe of a problem? Any thoughts would be appreciated!

If your speakers have powered subs, could you be having a ground loop problem? You have a cord for the amp and each speaker. So that’s 3 plus a source. Do you have a power filter or gang outlet on an extension cord so you could try all 3 on one outlet ? Also the Chester plug is a good idea too. Regards , Mike B.
