Strange ground loop...?
Ya... I'll try the grounding thing and let you know how it goes.Would this be the same as grounding my amp to my power conditioner? I tried that... and it altered the nature of the distortion, but did not remove it. 
Strange ground loop...?
So what alternatives to BlueJeans do you guys think I should try? I need to stay around that same cost, unfortunately ($40 per cable max). 
Strange ground loop...?
You think so? IDK, it seems weird that just swapping out one of the interconnects fixed everything...Plus it isn't the typical 60Hz humm.. it's like 2-3 kHz... more of a whine. Also, there is that strange distortion in my lower bass region.All I c... 
Amplifier hum - normal?
I do have a relative that is good with soldering and circuits. I'll see if he's up for a project - could be fun. 
Strange ground loop...?
U guys think I should just try some different cable?I seem to be out of options with my current BlueJeans LC1s. 
Strange ground loop...?
Another update -I just swapped out one of the BlueJeans ICs with an old Monster IC I had and the problem is completely gone... no whining or distortion at all.Unfortunately, I don't want to use my old Monster cables... so I guess I will have to se... 
Strange ground loop...?
Ok... definitely frustrated now.Even with configuration "D-C-B-A" when at volumes other than 'full' on my pre-amp, I get this really fuzzy, static interference when lower frequencies are strong (deep base).This is the second passive pre-amp that h... 
Strange ground loop...?
Ok... I have to revive this thread. I just received my new replacement cable as well as a new passive pre-amp. I hooked everything up and **suprise!** the whining interference noise is back in full force!So, I started to switch around the orientat... 
Amplifier hum - normal?
Hmm... I think it's a bit over my head. I've never made a circuit... but, I suppose this may be a good place to start. 
Amplifier hum - normal?
Hmm... DIY you say... how would one go about such a project? 
Why gold?
Oh ya, I think the dial on my freezer goes down to about -375f... I suppose that should do it. 
Why gold?
I care... 
Amplifier hum - normal?
Really? Hmm... Your not referring to noise coming through your speakers, right? 
Why gold?
Haha, hey Elevick. No worries, I wouldn't use wire hangers... only if they were dipped in high quality gold :).It really doesn't make sense to me that there would be any advantage beyond preventing corrosion. Reason being that right after the conn... 
Thinking of moving to a Headphone system, thoughts
Ya, nearfields with a nice little integrated... good idea.
