Low buzzing through speaks

I have stripped the jacket off of a wire before but I’m already over my head as soon as we get past connecting stuff

Thank you for being honest and admitting that. There’s only two more things I can think of at the moment that I’d like to try, and one requires a different XLR connecting cable (which removes the shield connection - pin 1 - on one end). I can actually make them myself, but let me see if I can find something on the internet for you. The other is I’d still like to hear if there’s any buzz with that ground wire connected between the two rear panel ground screws. Is there any small cable laying around (like a small extension cord) you could butcher and sacrifice? If you don’t have a wire stripper, with a little guidance, a scissors could probably perform the same function.

Do you own any other XLR cables? If so, have you tried them to see if they produce the same buzz as the Transparent's do? 

This would be an example of a device that lifts the shield on one end of the XLR cable. 

Female to XLR Male Ground Lift

If willing, it would be interesting to see if this connector would produce any different buzz sound results when plugged in using just one XLR cable.  

Thanks so much again @dpop! Unfortunately I do not have any other XLR cables. I do have some old speaker wire I can hook up though. Does it matter if I use the positive or negative to connect the 2 units with the ground?

You wouldn't by any chance live near the NH area would you? Be happy to pay for your services to come out, LOL!

I do not. Sorry. That would make things a little easier wouldn't it. 😄 OK, so no spare XLR cables. Noted. Regarding the speaker wire that you have, we really only need to use one side (like either a plus or minus). Can you easily attach that to those ground terminals? Even if you just hold the wires against the ground terminals for a moment, while hearing the buzz, does it change the sound of the buzz at all?

Definitely not easily, but I think I can do it. Unfortunately, damn work is now going to get in the way😡. I won't be able to get to this until tomorrow AM...But first thing I'll connect the ground wire...

Until tomorrow once again @dpop thank you, thank you, thank you. Sincerely man. Your time and support are greatly greatly appreciated. I will do the wire first thing tomorrow and report right back as soon as the experiment is completed...Have an awesome night and thank you again!
