HI Al,
Couldn't the rca inputs act as an antenna? Or could it be the speaker wire?

Advice on RFI with a new integrated amp
Hi Marty, Yes, those things could certainly pick up low level rf energy. But as I explained above it seems very unlikely that pickup on the speaker wires could result in audible sound. And the rca inputs presumably wouldn't have been able to pick up anything significant when you had the shorting plugs on them. And as I said, it is very difficult to imagine how an fm signal could be decoded into intelligible audio by anything that is not specifically designed for that purpose. Perhaps it is really being caused by a more distant am station. Regards, -- Al |
Not all ferrites are the same. Marty if you try ferrites on your speaker cables and or power cord make sure you install them as close as possible at the entry point of the amp. |
Marty, Is this your speaker cable? http://www.dnm.co.uk/cables.html http://www.stereotimes.com/cable022205.shtml |
