| This 60 Hz hum is driving me crazy Ooooh. I have LEDs and dimmers. But I took the unit to my condo complex's main lobby and plugged in there. Got the buzz.but there are LEDs galore. Maybe I need to take it to my office that was built in the 60s | |
| This 60 Hz hum is driving me crazy UGH!! Fresh set to tubes from McShane...perhaps a slight decrease in buzz, but it's still there. Looking for Bay Area recommendations for stereo repair. I don't know what else I can do. FYI, Upscale Audio was completely useless and the custome... | |
| This 60 Hz hum is driving me crazy @steakster I have too much going on to do that but instead, I plan to pack it up and take it into my office (which was built in the 60s) so I hope the electrical there has good grounds. I knew it wouldn't work, but tried it anyway. DC Block pair... | |
| This 60 Hz hum is driving me crazy Got the DC blocker. Was excited because I turned on amp and no buzz. Walked away and came back a minute later. Hi Buzz! Didn’t work. Got the BuzzX coming in too. Doubt it will work but glad Amazon makes it easy return. | |
| This 60 Hz hum is driving me crazy Thanks @dill! I will google their names. There is no phono stage on mine but there is a ground mount on the back for a phone preamp. To your point: Talking to someone from Upscale service. I mentioned that I lifted the ground but he still thin... | |
| This 60 Hz hum is driving me crazy @dill got the little $6 yellow tester (figured it is good to have regardless). All outlets I have been using were OK. Also moved the amp out of my mini man cave into the living room and plugged into another outlet....and the hum is still there!!... | |
| This 60 Hz hum is driving me crazy Now that I think about it, both plugs I used were new ones from remodel from contractors who I would never use again. Hmmmmmm...need to try another outlet...unless they compromised the entire home. | |
| This 60 Hz hum is driving me crazy thanks Coach. This is great info. Going to try a few more things but will def add this to the list if all else fails. | |
| This 60 Hz hum is driving me crazy @dill Agreed and thats the goal. Looking to move next year but for now, the closet office is the only place I can set this up. I have one of those....what do you call them again, oh yea, a wife, that doesn't want so much stuff in the living room... | |
| This 60 Hz hum is driving me crazy @russ69 haha...well, as mentioned, I am in the smallest man cave ever. Its a converted walk in closet turned office/stereo room. So even from a distance, I can hear it in between songs. I know its not too big of an issue, but at this level of hi... | |

| Is it safe to A/B 2 different speakers using my int. amp's balance so I can compare? Rega is 90 dbFocal is 91 dbI did A/B as posted and do prefer the Rega though, yet it was louder. I did NOT have it in Mono though. I think I just need to train my ears and do as the wolf-man suggests. Thanks for the replies. |
