Hi Guys,
A little while ago I installed a Bryston 9bst in my system and got a big hum http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...readid=137334. After trying every remedy from everyone here I finally took the amp to Bryston where they revamped the grounding system to that of the newer sst line.
That got rid of 95% of the hum.
As the upgrade bug keeps biting, I've added a 3bsst to my system, and I've got a loud hum again.
This hum seems to be between the two amps. The mains (run by the 3b) are silent until I turn on the 9b. The rest of the speakers (in a 7.1 set up) have just the slight hum that was present from the 9b before.
I've tried having the amps plugged into the same circuit and different circuits, same outlet and different outlets on the same circuit, and same outlet via an extension cord.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Aaron
