WMcD Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 My thought is that if the problem gets worse when you unplug the turntable, the turntable is the good ground and does not need attention. Rather, the problem is created by the other components. WMcD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerW Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Not sure what it is everybody. I am stumped and frustrated. Thanks for your help though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Ok,so this is a brand new system and has done this from the get go. Unplug all the inputs so you just have the speakers hooked up to the receiver. Can you turn up the volume and not have the Hum/noise? Of course if you turn it way up you will have a little residual noise. Anyone that says there system has "no noise" is A) deaf or B ) A liar Did you do this? What was the result? Sorry if I missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I missed it. I did. There is a small amount of noise on all the inputs when nothing is plugged in. When I lug the inputs in I start getting the louder buzz on those 3 inputs only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 So is the noise level acceptable to YOU with no inputs connected? Also what receiver is it? It has other inputs that don't cause the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has other inputs that don't cause the problem? When there is not input it is acceptable, as I expect a small amount of sound at higher volumes. If music is playing, you would not be able to here the small amount of sounds that the system makes on the other (none used) inputs. The current sound is only noticeable at higher volumes, that I don't often listen at right now, but knowing it's there is frustrating.

babadono Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Ok so you have proven that it is not your receiver(and of course not your speakers). To really continue further you are going to need some dummy plugs. I am assuming your equipment is unbalanced. This is a power point presentation given by the president of Jensen Transformers that explains very well what is probably goin on. https://centralindianaaes.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/indy-aes-2012-seminar-w-notes-v1-0.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
