| Input ground loop hum only when p10 cables or XLR without phantom power are connected One quick thing to check is unplug your USB input and see if the problem goes away. If so, you'll need the USB isolator from my blog page, or one like it. Best,Erik | |
| Input ground loop hum only when p10 cables or XLR without phantom power are connected So what is your output? How do you hear the hum? Headphones? Speakers? So on your inputs.... if you use ONLY XLR to XLR cables, you get a hum?? Or do they have to be connected to an instrument or mic? Best,Erik | |
| Input ground loop hum only when p10 cables or XLR without phantom power are connected Let me know if the ideas on that blog post don't help you. :) | |
| Input ground loop hum only when p10 cables or XLR without phantom power are connected So help me out a little more please. You are going from a Scarlett to your preamp, and those are the cables that cause hum? | |

| Any News on MQA Lately? @ejr1953 You bring up a very good point. MQA isn't just competing against high resolution data files, it's competing against the latest crop of DAC's. Over the past 5 years or so the performance of DACs with Redbook has markedly improved while th... | |
| Infinity kappa 9 ebay crossover Hi Lexi, take your question to the DIYAudio/ multi-way forums. I Think this speaker and the failings with it's crossover have been documented there. Infinity crossovers were arrived at very experimentally. Kind of a miracle they made sound to my e... | |
| Any News on MQA Lately? @tomcy6 No worries. The truth is MQA is a very ambitious encoding format and it's easy to misread how parts of it fit together. I went a long time thinking it was lossless, until Benchmark set me straight. Best,Erik | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? @mb1audio I kind of had this discussion in a thread with Kal Rubenstein of Stereophile. To my ears the biggest benefit to multi-channel sound is the addition of the center channel. It fixes a problem of your head blocking certain frequencies. Have... | |
| Any News on MQA Lately? I take it back, I have a good analogy for the SR filters. The SR Filter on the Brooklyn is like wearing the wrong glasses. Everything sounds like it's in the wrong place and disconnected. That's just me though, make yourself happy! | |
| Any News on MQA Lately? Hi @bradf Why thank you kindly, good sir! Hi @ohlala Interesting. However, I’m afraid my experiences correlate exactly with Paul McGowan at PS Audio as well as most members of the SFAS who went to the local demo. Again, if we have to carefully loo... | |
| Audio with sound off It still sounds like a bad pot. :) Not all dirty pots can be cleaned successfully. |
