| Low level buzzing coming from tweeters. @cleeds I feel somewhat relieved to hear this, as I have had confidence in my electrician who has done some extensive work for me, including upgrading my electric service, installing a new panel with a built-in transfer switch for my generator alo... | |
| Low level buzzing coming from tweeters. The water main should be iron, as it is an older house (1957). I’ve got the same pole type, but separate, ground for my large portable generator. Another discussion with my electrician. We’ve touched base and he will be coming over to check things... | |
| Low level buzzing coming from tweeters. @atmasphere Yes, it is a pole, about 15-20’, driven into the ground with ground wires fused to it.@ozzy Yes, the dual 30 amp breaker is near the top of the right side of the box and the 20 amp breaker is also on the right side near the bottom. The... | |
| What is the best thing to buy/or do to clean connections on IC's and SC " ?? Has anyone used Stabilant 22? I heard it is the basis for Caig DeoxIT products, but I don’t know if this is true. It’s available on Amazon as a concentrate you dilute, or not.I have used 99% isopropyl alcohol to clean connectors, then DeoxIT. Inst... | |
| Low level buzzing coming from tweeters. The system, including the amps, are on the same (right) side of the electrical panel. Should I assume that means they are on the same side of the AC power?The amps are on a dedicated 30 amp breaker, the rest of the system on a dedicated 20 amp. Th... | |

| Low level buzzing coming from tweeters. At a friend’s suggestion, I ran a long extension cord from each amp separately to an outlet at the other end of the house. There was now a barely audible hum that could not be heard about 2 1/2 feet from the tweeters. My listening position is 12 f... | |
| Low level buzzing coming from tweeters. @atmasphere Thanks for the confirmation.@analogluvr At your suggestion, I changed the input tubes. No luck. I also have a Lutron 4-zone dimmer, but no change with the lights on or off.Very frustrating, as you can imagine. | |
| Low level buzzing coming from tweeters. Switched the amps between the tweeters & woofers. Buzz was originally from the tweeters. The buzz now came from the woofers, tweeters silent.. Gotta be the amps? | |
| This guy just doesn't stop... @goldenear1948 Quite the opposite. My reference to his real name is to reveal him as a phony and a sad attempt to escape his identity. Perhaps something else? (Please, goldenear1948, no reason to be so reactive.)Furthermore, I am Jewish, my father... | |
| Low level buzzing coming from tweeters. @atmasphere Thanks for the tip. Saves me from a futile testing regimen.I’m planning on trying a solid state amp this weekend to rule out possible electrical problem. | |
| Low level buzzing coming from tweeters. I’ve been thinking about the tubes and whether they could be the culprit. There’s about 2200 hours on the power tubes (WingC 6550’s). It will be a chore to test them (12 per amp). I have a B&K 747. Then there’s the small tubes (driver and inpu... | |
| Low level buzzing coming from tweeters. atmosphere - I appreciate the suggestion. My tech guy, extremely knowledgeable and competent, but who no longer lives nearby, suggested the "no input" test. He knows the amps, having extensively worked on them, suggested trying without inputs. He ... | |
| MC Cartridge Recommendations for refurbished/upgraded Linn LP12 w/ Ittok arm I had first the DV10, then the 20, when I had a Linn/Ekos. Very effective! Adds a lot of life to the Linn. | |
| Low level buzzing coming from tweeters. Nice to know you solved it, ebm.Mine is a different problem, probably my amps. Even disconnected interconnects, unplugged everything except amps, turned off all circuit breakers, except those dedicated to amps . . . still buzzing. |
