| Low buzzing through speaks I actually tried the Hum-X which essentially is the same as using a cheater plug. It didn’t work, still had the him. Whilst I didn’t try the cheater plug specially, the fact that the Hum-X didn’t work leads me to believe the cheater wouldn’t have ... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks Thanks for replying @dpop and great call. I thought of disconnecting the XLR cables 1 by 1. Have not tried that. But yes when I disconnected the XLR's between the Mac and my amp (everything else was connected at this point to the Mac and all the s... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks And I am wireless with my router.. | |
| Low buzzing through speaks Thanks @jb1. I don’t think it’s a ground loop. I have literally tried everything. I unplugged everything one component at a time and buzz/hum still there. The only time it went away is when I disconnected all the IC’s between the Mac and my amp. S... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks @wanganui Thank you very helpful! nI just tried my last resort-the Hum-X and nothing! Buzz/hum still there... Try another you mean other than McIntosh? Are they all prone to this? | |
| Slight buzz through speakers @soix thank you. I have contacted Mac for other questions before I bought the MX122 and their tech support was always available. I’ll give that a shot certainly. Ya Mac from what I’ve seen/heard/read isn’t for everyone (just like every other compo... | |
| Slight buzz through speakers Hi @spatialking thanks for replying. So I have my McIntosh preamp plugged into my Furman Elite 20PFi power conditioner (along with everything else except the Sim amp). I have my Simaudio amp plugged directly into the same wall outlet as the Furman... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks Great replies @tkhill @strawj! I used the opportunity when I relocated a few things when I introduced the McIntosh to clean and dust-another great call on this thread! You guys truly are awesome! And my Hum-X will arrive Thursday so tomorrow I... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks Thank you @willgolf! Just read your reply went right to Amazon and ordered it! So you mentioned you used this on your amps, but I know my issue is my preamp. What I’m going to do is either plug the McIntosh into the Hum-X and then plug the Hum-X i... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks Regardless very insightful and I sincerely appreciate all of your advice/support-so thanks man👍 | |
| Low buzzing through speaks Thank you so much for providing this video @fredrik222. This is referencing the power amps from McIntosh/Trinnov though? Does it stand to reason the preamps share the same issues/characteristics? | |
| Low buzzing through speaks Hello All, So I cleaned up "the nest" (still getting a kick out of that one @jackd) this morning as best I could and removed the Audioengine B1 (great call and thank you @plumptonvinyl I had my suspicions on that one as well) and reconnected a... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks Thank you @jackd! I’m going to try that tomorrow AM, and also try unplugging the IC’s from the Titan as @imhififan suggested. I’m really hoping it’s “the nest”😂 which it truly is great call on that one😂! I have a Shunyata Alpha 20 amp power ca... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks Thanks @imhififan It is more than 15 years old but I sent it to Simaudio for “calibration and cleanup” last year and she came back squeaky clean. They actually said she was in better shape than most-though they said they don’t see many of them bec... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks Thank you @russ69, but how as they are coax? I don’t have a way to connect it between amp and preamp? |
