Try substituting some source components out of the system one at a time. For instance, try a source other than your CD rig (if you don't have a tuner, tape deck, or phono, then use a VCR or DVD), try running a source directly into your amp bypassing your preamp (watch out for too high levels, though - use a quiet source material), try everything without the PLC, etc. If none of that reveals where the problem is, try to put another power amp or receiver of some kind in place of the amp. You may also want to recheck all of your cable connections and cable dressing routes throughout the system. Process of elemination, in other words. Good luck!
Static Noise Only When Music Plays
System:
PS Audio P300 power plant
Ayre V-3 solid-state stereo amplifier
conrad-johnson PFR remote control, SS, line-stage preamplifier
Muse Model Two Plus DAC
Muse Model Five digital transport
Cables by Cardas and Discovery
Problem:
I hear static noise with the music from both speakers at equal level only when music is playing. The system is electrically quiet between songs and when music is not playing.
What could be causing this?
Thanks in advance for all your tips.
