Thanks,
i do know what a 60 cycle hum is, and understand the idea behind it. Once the ground is lifted from the amp, it diminishes by 95%. Even when the volume is up, you hear no apparent buzz. I'm just thinking it has to be contributory. Up until the past few months, I was using DIRECT TV, not Cable. Am now, I'll try undoing the ground on it as well now.
I'll try the "search". I suppose you mean to individually disconnect all the items using a ground in their path; washer, dryer, fridge, etc.,. right?
Maybe I'm pointing at a spot in the frequency range that is not altogether exact. A better term could be "it's like the treble is just up to high". Thought about it after reading the responses. In any case, it is persistent. Regarless of equipment, although I have not tried tubes. (Actually, can't afford tubes) Different receivers, amps, (yeah, all solid)AND AS THE QUALITY GOES UP AT FIRST THEY ARE GREAT, THEN AFTER A DAY OR SO. . . THE EDG/GLARE IS BACK. Changed SPEAKER CABLES, from Monster bi's to some I had made up, #10 AWG, that helped some. Been through the interconnects thing, cheap, to in my opinion, expensive, $100 each. Went with moderately priced XLR's to cheap XLR'S & bakc again. same old stuff, eventually.
After all the changes, I am hard pressed to believe it to be something other than what they all have in common. POWER. What works best? Unlplugging the equipment for a spell, overnight, or so. Or aftrer a good rain, and late in the evening. Those are the conditions wherein the sound is best. Being blind my friends tell me I hear too much, as at first they don't notice anything out of the ordinary. Once it is pointed out, they do. The only thing I have yet to try in interconnects, is coaxial. Using optics currently.
I really do appreciate your inputs and thank you for them, as well as any other suggestions or thoughtts that might arise.
