@carlsbad  It's a music production system, not an audiophile listen-to-music system, although I use it for that too. I find approaching it like an audiophile system yields better monitoring and recording quality. The compressor is a vocal chain c...

@audphile1 Thanks for your response. Yeah, I’m not the do-it-yourself kind of person unfortunately. I’m not sure what else could be the problem besides the gauge of the wire delivering more energy than the PS is designed to work with (or something...
