zuzu Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I have a fairly loud hum from the right speaker. Originally if I pushed down on top of the speaker it would dissapear for days. Now it is much more frequent but moving the speaker gets rid of it but in a few minutes its back again. Strange. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whell Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Check the dust caps on the woofers. Mine came loose and it almost sounded like I blew a woofer. Turned out the dustcap was loose. Glued it back down, and all was good again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuzu Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 I think I found the problem. I moved several of my components and when I put them back, forgot to reconnect the grounding wire I use between my tube pre amp and its powersupply. I'm still puzzeled in that I could eliminate the hum often by pressing down on top of the speaker or rocking it side to side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierceb Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Sounds like you were providing some grounding effects by touching the speakers?? -PB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
