Yeah, no luck there. I spoke with Andrew yesterday, and he suggested I could try unplugging the signal ground wire inside the ADA (chassis would still be grounded, so no safety issue). Not sure what screwdriver will work on the ADA chassis screws though, and I remember you saying that they were self threading, so may not go back in perfectly after initial removal _________________________ Axiom M5HP,VP180,M3,ADA1000 Anthem MRX 720 SVS SB-3000 (dual)

Mojo axiomite Registered: 01/21/07 Posts: 5948	I really do feel bad for you. I wonder what's going on back at the panel to be causing this. Then again, it could be a bad connection right at the receptacle. This is a long shot (really long) but try swapping ADA power cables. _________________________ M100,VP160,QS10HPx2,EP800,M5HP,M3,M50 v4 M80,VP150,QS8x4,EP600 v2 ADA-1000-2,3,1500-3 Air N2

Swapped out the 6ft 'high quality' RCA interconnects from PrimeCables.ca for 4ft AmazonBasics cables and bam, no more buzz. _________________________ Axiom M5HP,VP180,M3,ADA1000 Anthem MRX 720 SVS SB-3000 (dual)

Mojo axiomite Registered: 01/21/07 Posts: 5948	Wow! Just wow. Is that because of better shielding, or what? _________________________ M100,VP160,QS10HPx2,EP800,M5HP,M3,M50 v4 M80,VP150,QS8x4,EP600 v2 ADA-1000-2,3,1500-3 Air N2

The PrimeCables ones were supposedly double-shielded https://s3.amazonaws.com/shopperplus/uploads/kind/927605089bd89fa7f382fbe1f92fcec5.jpg _________________________ Axiom M5HP,VP180,M3,ADA1000 Anthem MRX 720 SVS SB-3000 (dual)

Though 6 foot is a little long for most basic applications that don't require such length. Last year I decided to try Blue jeans LC1 much thicker with very large connectors. Seem really good but much higher price compared to P.C. brand. Glad it was a minor fix as opposed to major overhaul.

Mojo axiomite Registered: 01/21/07 Posts: 5948	Way to stick with it and work out the root cause. With that out of the way, how does the whole thing sound? _________________________ M100,VP160,QS10HPx2,EP800,M5HP,M3,M50 v4 M80,VP150,QS8x4,EP600 v2 ADA-1000-2,3,1500-3 Air N2

Do you notice any sounds quality improvement with the Blue Jeans LC1 cables? For 3 channels worth, LC1 are $99, vs $23 for AmazonBasics.
