Re: Hum/Buzz

Okay, I shut off the power for the dimmers, which also happened to be the same leg of power for the amps. I ran a 50ft heavy duty extension cord from a different circuit over to the amps, and hooked them up. Less buzz, but still some buzz. The only other thing I could find on this circuit was an incandescent bulb. There is a nearby referigerator, but I unplugged it just to make sure.

The buzz is about 1/2 what it was, going from annoying to simply noticeable.

The good news is that someone had evidently been working on this problem before me, as there is a dead GFCI outlet right near the amps. I followed the romex over to that same incandescent bulb that is the lone termination on the other leg (other than a couple of unused wall outlets on the other side of the room) so I will simply hook up the GFCI outlet and I'll have nearby power from another leg.

But I would like to completely eliminate the buzz, do you have any other ideas?

I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate the help you've given so far!
