Noise help (Read 6282 times)

sberger Seasoned Member Posts: 179	Noise help 03/16/12 at 19:32:48 Getting a strange little noise coming from the left speaker. Switched tubes around but didn't help. Noise is best described as a fast, almost flickering. Almost what you might hear from a moth flying around a light bulb(how 'bout that for a description?). It's intermittent but it's there. Any thoughts? Love this amp.

Think I figured it out. Had the IC from my Channel Islands DAC, which is connected to my Squeezebox Touch, connected directly to the Torii. Disconnected the IC and so far so good. Don't know what from the CI/Touch combo might be causing the noise but will research further. Have it connected to a rotary switch box now. Expecting a new preamp tomorrow with 5 inputs(Artemis LA-1) so will see what happens when everything gets a new connection.

Now looking to see if the CSP2 might be contributing. Both power cords were plugged into the same outlet so I moved the CSP2 to another one. Also switched inputs on the pre. Will keep searching.

Don't know how much that may affect things but if the noise returns I'll throw something else in there and see if I get better fit/no noise.
