| Would a power conditioner stop a 60 cycle hum ? Is the existing outlet grounded ? IMO, the branch circuit by itself should not be causing a 60Hz hum. You should start with you amp alone hooked up to your speakers and connect your other components one at a time to see which is causing a ground l... | |
| McCormack DNA-1 has a clank I second that you may have something loose. Check all screws, nuts and bolts, including the transformer mounting bolt(s). I once had an amp that made 2-3 rapid metallic clicks at every cold power-up. I traced the problem to an overtightened top co... | |

| What power conditioner will help in my situation? Where is the hum coming from ? Amp ? Speakers ? Ceiling fan speed controls can create DC offset on the AC line, and cause some transformers to hum/buzz. This is not a problem a "line conditioner" will solve. A dedicated line also may not provide a... | |
