When I read these I am tempted to suggest changing ones socks. But actually that is a classic example of a ground loop. How to sort it. ?. I suppose using an optical link is impossible?. Other possibilities are that the amplifier and receiver are on different power sockets Ideally they should share tge exact same socket . If not so , removing the earth connection from one or the other can cure it,if the earth is being carried by the braid in the rca cables.
Now you say receiver not tuner, so if the loudspeaker are connected to it is there hum?. If there is in the absence of the Àmplifier, then it is not mains hum, but a worsening problem in the power supply of the reciever.
But assuming mains hum, rearranging the cables so that the area within the loop is minimised. That means .. counter to common sense making the power cables to both amplifier and receiver be parallel to each other and very close. Likewise the two RCA leads ,and all 4 cables very close together. |
