Perhaps shielded vs. unshielded interconnects! Try to route your more expensive (culprit) differently and away from power cables... and see if the buzz goes away.... or stick with the cheapo ones if you hear no difference in sound....
popping noise when turning on amp/preamp
i just hooked up a bryston bp 16 preamp and a bryston 3b sst amp to my system that i bought on audiogon.
i noticed two things.
1. when i turn the amp on or off there is a fairly loud popping noise.
2. when i'm not playing music, there is a noticeable hum/buzz coming from my speakers. if i put my ears close to the speakers, i can hear it when music is playing as well.
i have neither of these issues when my cambridge 840 v2 integrated amp is hooked up.
are these issues to be concerned with, or is it just the way bryston products work? i find the popping to be startling, and the buzz unacceptable.
thanks!
