| Strange ground loop...? The thing is... it sounds perfect when I run my DAC directly into my AMP.OK, so.. here's what I just did:I didn't use my other amp (integrated) simply because I didn't have the right terminals on my speaker wire. I did, however, use it solely as a... | |
| Strange ground loop...? Sorry for all the posts -Ok, what I'm going to do is try a different amplifier and see if the same thing happens. | |
| Strange ground loop...? Sooo... actually there is no need for me to run straight into the amp from my DAC... I know it will be perfect. It has been that way for a few days and it was fine. Also, the fact that it goes away with my pre-amp turned up all the way indicates t... | |
| Strange ground loop...? I just wanted to add... this distortion, again, completely goes away with my pre-amp turned all the way up. | |
| Strange ground loop...? Ok, so... now I'm going to bypass my pre-amp all together and run straight into my amp from my DAC via a 2ft LC-1 cable. | |
| Strange ground loop...? WAIT! NO! I was mistaken. Upon closer listening, I do still have some distortion in my right channel... right channel only. And this is only with lower frequencies.The 'whine' sound is certainly gone though. | |
| Strange ground loop...? Ok, test complete. Yes, this is essentially the same test as when I swapped one cable out for the Monster cable.The result was the same. There is no distortion. The bass is clean and there is no hint of any "whiny" interference noise as I change t... | |
| Strange ground loop...? Ya, in that early post I had thought that going straight into the wall had worked. It ended up that it repressed the noise quite a bit, but the distortion of lower frequencies was still there and the high-pitched whining had turned into a static '... | |
| Strange ground loop...? Grounding issues are always 60Hz hums though, right?This one is like 2-4KHz... and varies as I alter the volume levels of my pre-amp. | |
| Strange ground loop...? Ya... I'll try the grounding thing and let you know how it goes.Would this be the same as grounding my amp to my power conditioner? I tried that... and it altered the nature of the distortion, but did not remove it. | |
| Strange ground loop...? So what alternatives to BlueJeans do you guys think I should try? I need to stay around that same cost, unfortunately ($40 per cable max). | |
| Strange ground loop...? You think so? IDK, it seems weird that just swapping out one of the interconnects fixed everything...Plus it isn't the typical 60Hz humm.. it's like 2-3 kHz... more of a whine. Also, there is that strange distortion in my lower bass region.All I c... | |
| Amplifier hum - normal? I do have a relative that is good with soldering and circuits. I'll see if he's up for a project - could be fun. | |
| Strange ground loop...? U guys think I should just try some different cable?I seem to be out of options with my current BlueJeans LC1s. | |
| Strange ground loop...? Another update -I just swapped out one of the BlueJeans ICs with an old Monster IC I had and the problem is completely gone... no whining or distortion at all.Unfortunately, I don't want to use my old Monster cables... so I guess I will have to se... |
