What's the frequency Kenneth?


Hi,

I need some help, if possible. After moving and months of looking for a place to live and waiting for a stand to set my gear up, I finally got my system put back together. Thor electronics, Accuphase CD player and Tannoy speakers. Boy did it sound sweet! While I was checking the bias on my amps, with no music playing, I heard something faint and low coming from the speakers. After putting my ear close, I could tell it was a radio station. WHAT???!!! So low, it was almost undiscernable, but still there. Not obvious at all during music playing, but still there. Now, if I wasn't an obsessive, compulsive neurotic ( Wait - What was that noise?) about my gear, this would not bother me. But it does. I'd like to fix it, if possible, but have no idea where to start. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

You might try shielded interconnects as suggested and check ground/power. Most likely it is a lack of shielding for RFI on the ICs (at least that is what I had seen before)...
My brother had the same experience, only worse. He traced it his satelite TV decoder. His solution was to plug the satelite decoder into a Monster power strip instead of the basic strip he was using.
Lugnut- R.E.M. wrote a song with that title after the incident with Dan Rather.
P.S. didnt 'they' come to the conclussion,the frequency was just in Dans head??
This tread prompted me to do a Google search on "Dan Rather What's the Frequency Kenneth". I was always curious about the origin on the question. Well, believe it or not, here's an incredible explaination!!!!!
