| Strange ground loop...? Another update -I just swapped out one of the BlueJeans ICs with an old Monster IC I had and the problem is completely gone... no whining or distortion at all.Unfortunately, I don't want to use my old Monster cables... so I guess I will have to se... | |
| Strange ground loop...? Ok... definitely frustrated now.Even with configuration "D-C-B-A" when at volumes other than 'full' on my pre-amp, I get this really fuzzy, static interference when lower frequencies are strong (deep base).This is the second passive pre-amp that h... | |
| Strange ground loop...? Ok... I have to revive this thread. I just received my new replacement cable as well as a new passive pre-amp. I hooked everything up and **suprise!** the whining interference noise is back in full force!So, I started to switch around the orientat... | |

| Does anybody smell smoke? "Rub it down with cat urine. That will definitely get rid of the smoke smell. Hope this helps."Cat urine is OK. I heard that if you buy exotic white tiger urine, that is about the best you can get. I just happen to be selling some by coincidence, ... | |
| Amplifier hum - normal? So this humm isn't something that indicates a poor-quality transformer or a malfunction?A friend used to have an older Crown amp and he said it used to buzz much louder than this Yamaha.Also, I wanted to add... whatever I have my volume set at mak... | |
| Why gold? Ok, thanks for the responses everyone.It sounds like its all about just keeping the connection clean... and these look pretty shiny to me :). | |
| Amplifier hum - normal? Hmm... I'm not sure what would constitute excessive or normal. I have sensative ears... lol, but I'm sure we all do here.Idk. | |
| Does anybody smell smoke? Wow, that's weird... I had the same thing happen when I bought an Audioquest 3 foot stereo-to-mini cable from somewhere in the far East (China or Japan if I recall correctly).It distinctively smelled like strong cigarette smoke... almost 'ashy'...... |
