Removing the ground pins is the exact same thing as using cheater plugs, you've broken the ground. No hum but it's fairly unsafe. It likely is in fact the cable, but having an eletrician out isn't a bad idea if you can afford it, he should be able to offer a safer more permanent solution. Good luck and happy listening!
Help needed with 50hz hum/buzz in Tube system
My high power tube VTL system is not quite there. I ran seperate outlets on different ciruits for both Mono block amps and the Digital front end which runs through a panamax 5500. The problem is that there is a 50hz buzz/hum comming through both speakers the woofer and tweeter. I connected an ipod to the amps directly and they have a silent background, But when the preamp in connected to the amps the hum returns. The turntable / phono section is even worse. Someone told me that there is a possibilty that the isolated outlets are wired on "opposing legs" of the incomming 220 line.
This afternoon this afternoon I removed the ground pin of the PS audio power cables and problem solved. It seems that Every component in this system must have the ground pin removed, because one I connect another component that is grounded the problem returns.
Any suggestions on what the proper fix to eleviate this issue should be? Thanks again to all for their time
PS if you are a professional electrician working in the rockaways/LI area and would like to take a shot at fixing this let me know
