Howdy, I recently began to put together a better two channel system. I had a Cambridge Audio 840a that I really liked. Then I moved up a bit to the Musical Fidelity A5.5. And here's the thing. Neither produced any buzz. Well... I had heard the Cambridge 840w and 840e and loved them and really wanted separates. When I had a chance to get them I did. So I hook them up and the amp is producing a very slight buzz through my speakers (I alternate between a pair of modded Klipsch Chorus and Klipsch RF-83.) I disconnected the preamp and the buzz was still there. I tried reconnecting everything and the buzz is still there. I even turned all of the lights in the area off and on and it didn't make a difference. And by the way, I don't have cable. So I have two questions:
1) What might I do to fix this? (Could a power conditioner make a difference?) 2) Can it harm my gear?
Make sure you put a piece of tape on the ground tab of the cheater plug so it will not come in contact with the grounded 6/32 trim screw that holds on the receptacle cover plate. .
