what did I do? channel hiss in McCormack DNA 0.5.


I was swapping preamps with the DNA 0.5, got a loud noise, and now there is an audible hiss from the left channel. I hear it on soft music or when I'm not playing anything. I don't hear it on louder stuff. Then, the music sounds great! I don't know what I did, but I know I wasn't careful. What's it sound like the problem could be? What should I do to find out/ fix it? Can I do any troubleshooting on my own, or is it best left to the pros?

Thanks,

Robert

You might have jarred the connection loose on an interconnect or the input jack on the amp. Not that uncommon. Do the basic troubleshooting procedures that are mentioned above and in other threads and try and track the problem down. Power amps should always be turned off or at least muted as a safety measure when hooking / unhooking cabling. Otherwise, one very quick and simple mistake can take a BIG toll on your system and wallet. Sean
