Sounds like you have a "cheater plug" between your power strip and outlet. I would get rid of that. You can have a standard grounded 3 prong outlet installed in place of that 2 prong. You would run a "ground leg" from the ground terminal of the new outlet to the steel electrical box via a grounding screw to the threaded hole in the back of that box. Since the cabling is probably BX, it would be self grounded to the main panel box.
System feedback coming thru speakers.....help
I just hooked up my system that I have been building for several months and I am getting some feedback out of the speakers. I ended up hooking up a different speaker and it still is doing the same thing. The speakers are all static-ie and the signal seems weak. Here is my system:
Sonograph SA 400 amp
CJ PV 11 with phono
Thorens TD 160 turntable
Hales T 3 speakers
Nakamichi dragon tape deck
Panasonic DVD S 53 as cd source (for now).
Just had a pair of audio quest bi wire speaker cables made today.
Any ideas?
Additional note: I am in a really old house......like late 1800's. Old wiring, two prong, pre grounding even. Could it be:
Line noise?
Cables touching behind my system?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
