| Help With 60Hz Hum PLEASE jo3533,I am at a loss.Starting from ground zero with no ICs connected to the Adcom Amp there is no hum.When you connected the DVD player to the Adcom amp using single ended ICs there was just a faint hum. Which Al explained the reason for the fain... | |
| Help With 60Hz Hum PLEASE I was and still am using XLR IC’s. I only ran RCA interconnects for the above test, and it still does not answer my initial question. Yes I understood you were going to use XLR ICs. I just don’t remember reading in one of your previous posts you h... | |

| Help With 60Hz Hum PLEASE jo3533,You cannot connect the XRL cables to the amp without the other ends of the cables connected to a load/source.If they are not connected to a load, like a preamp, and are just laying there open ended you basically have 5 antennas picking up R... | |
| Help With 60Hz Hum PLEASE This is driving me crazy. Next I am buying longer interconnects and moving the amp farther from the pre-amp. Ill let everyone know the results.You never said how long the XLR cables are. I assume they are at least 1 meter.That should be plenty lon... | |
| Help With 60Hz Hum PLEASE A special note on “hum:” When there is a low-volume “hum” audible throughout your speakers, even with the main volume turned all the way down, you have a common phenomenon known as a “ground loop.” A ground loop is basically a difference in ground... | |

So like you said about a 10 times markup from what it cost to it’s retail price.How about the manufacture’s overhead costs?Profit mark up?Distribution c... | |
