BAT VK75SE buzz and humming ?? help..

AA Capitole plain isn't compatible with some amplifiers when using balanced Interconnects because of a "pin 1 problem"which can cause a line level signal ground loop. See my thread regarding impedance mismatch for more information. Could be your problem

Hey Mejames, I have heard that, but there is no issue with that as far as I can see.. the buzzing still happens when the components are unplugged

thanks

If a output tube fuse is blown, it will work, and it will increase the hum considerably. Also a channel should have less power-like 1/2. If one in each channel is blown, it will still have balanced sound-but with lot's of noise and basically sound like sh&%. Look at the output tubes. Are the 4 led's on and green? If one is off, then you have one output tube fuse blown. If one is red, then a problem with the auto bias circuit (more likely a bad tube). I have had some issues with bad output tubes...replace one about every 6-12 months. No big deal though.

To replace a output tube fuse, UNPLUG the amp from ac, turn it over, and you'll see the fuse holders underneath.

Thanks ..

all LEDs are Green and functining.. but I will check the fuses anyway..

Wow.. tubes are work ..hehehe

the Ghost of the Buzzing Halcro's has come back to haunt you.

but seriously, maybe try moving the amps to another room with your surround speakers and Capitole and see if that eliminates the buzzing......you may have some sort of RF that is being recieved by the amps in that room......or try the amps in someone else's system.

try removing the Panamax from the system temporarily.....there may be a conflict someplace.

just a few thoughts from a clueless one......
