ZTPRE hum
12/11/12 at 03:00:12
 
When I switch the unit to high gain, it has quite a hum to it. I've tried new tubes, a couple amps of differing sensitivity and unrelated power sources with no change. Ideas?

Also, does anyone have a schematic of this unit?

Thanks and Season's Greetings!

Hi Audioqwest,

Sounds like either a ground loop between it and some other component, or possibly a loose ground somewhere inside the unit.  They were known for being quiet.  If you send it in to us for a look over, use the RA form on the site and include the power supply and cable.

Thanks,

Steve

Ok, thanks. I'll check it over a bit and send it in if needed. It's perfectly quiet on the low gain setting, only large hum on high gain.
