    Solved! Mains conditioner to fix humming from PC audio

    Hmm, thanks for the suggestion. I forgot about those clip-on ferrite cores. I'll give them a go first, if it helps then great! May be a short while before I buy the speakers again though.

    Solved! Mains conditioner to fix humming from PC audio

    Hey hey everyone, So about a year ago I bought an M-Audio AV32.1 speaker system to replace my Trust Tytan 2.1 system. They sounded much nicer however I returned them due to ground loop humming that wouldn't go away. It wasn't too loud but it was still very noticeable and annoyed the heck out of...

    M-Audio AV32.1 speaker hums and it won't go away

    Pioneer PD-970M 6-disc CD player problems

    Okay I sorted the problem! Thanks kanewolf for your suggestion of using an optical cable between the CD player "digital out" and amp's "CD digital in", this got it working again!

    Pioneer PD-970M 6-disc CD player problems

    Well the radio works fine and so does the 3.5mm to RCA cable that I have plugged into one of the inputs (VCR or LD, can't remember right now). Could it be that the cable connector (male and/or female parts of the cable connecting the CD player to the amp) needs cleaning with IPA (rubbing...
