Hello All,
Long time reader, first time poster...Really a wondeful forum.
I have recently finished putting togetter a HT room. The last addition was a Sunfire True Sub and this brought out the dreaded 60HZ hum. I found the issue to be the satalite cable feed comming into my house so I tied all my HT gear into an APC H15 which killed the hum on the spot. I now have had an intermittent problem with hum which seems to kick in only when played loud but not always. I used a cheeter plug that removes the ground pin on the sub but it still hums. Sometimes unpluging the sub gets rid of it and sometimes I need to unplug the RSX-1056 from the mains. I am wondering if this could be due to the subwoofer cable I built myself from canare cable and neutrik RCA connectors. This cable has been tested for solid shorts and resistive shorts with a mutimeter.
Basically I am stomped. Could this gradual hum come from atjacent speaker or mains wire. This would mean it has inducted hum??? I'm lost...Should I buy a cable??
Thank you
Gianluca
