Hey Athanos,

what are cheaters??

I have jumpers made of a-c that go from one Positive speaker post to the other...this made a big change. The sound solidified but then the hum began. With just a normal stereo connection to each sub there isn't much hummmm.

A Cheater has to be something difft, please fill me in. i'd like to keep the a-c connection if possible.

I only listened for 30 minutes last night, but with just a single IC connected to each sub the volume/output sucks. According to the maker, Y cables are needed so that each RCA input jack on each sub is loaded with a signal. Off to Rat Shack after work.... amazing how difft the sp level & IC level connections sound.

On one hand i'd like to incorporate a Behringer EQ..this would mean an IC connection only. On the other is the fact that i think speaker level connections integrate & sound really cool.

i'll probably just get a 2nd LC-1 IC and hunt for a used Behringer DEQX 2496 but still, it'd be great to get this hum issue resolved.

Actually, I also installed anti-cable RCA interconnects at the same time. Maybe it's them. - hukkfinn 06:00:20 04/04/07 (3)

wrapping cables in CF -- what's CF? - hukkfinn 11:57:55 04/03/07 (4)

Carbon fiber damps RF resonances on cables; does not cure hum. - Al Sekela 09:29:05 04/04/07 (2)

Since the problem here is RFI (radio station audible) and not hum, is CF appropriate? - hukkfinn 09:36:02 04/04/07 (1)

Don't know. - Al Sekela 16:34:10 04/05/07 (0)
