Try the DBX unit in another system. It could be at fault.
Speakers hum and buzz when rr and dbx installed??
Hi guys and gals, this is my first post here but I have been
an avid reader here for quite some time and have learned alot. Thanks! I have a question concerning my stereo system.
I have a new Jolida JD-801 powering a wonderful old pair of
JBL L300s but when I decided to move my reel to reel tape deck and dbx noise reduction unit into this system from my
ht receiver, I am getting an unexceptable amount of hum and
buzz coming out of the speakers. I have the system plugged into a cheap surge protector (soon to be replaced)and the amp is plugged into the wall outlet thru a gfci. The recepticle is a dedicated ps audio power port on a 20amp breaker. If I unplug the dbx from the tape output on the amp, the noise goes away. I know my system needs attention in the area of power conditioning and I am trying to learn all I can to make an educated purchase in this area. I feel I may have a ground loop going on here but I don't know for sure. Any ideas on this subject and/or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
