| Help With 60Hz Hum PLEASE My thought comes down to two words. Faraday Cage.I believe what I created was a EMF cage around both the Adcom and Marants. That is why the noise comes back when I only connect to the chassis of the Adcom.I could be completely wrong, but its what ... | |

| Help With 60Hz Hum PLEASE jea48,I bought the ADCOM used. One channel was not working, and it would not turn on at all when first purchased. The tech was not very forthcoming on what exactly he replace. He did mention the bridge rectifier however he never confirmed if he re... | |
