Have you tried plugging the SB3 into the same power strip/outlet that the rest of your gear is powered from? If not, that may cure it. The SB3 only uses 10-12 watts, so you can also safely plug it into powered outlets on your stereo gear (if any)
Occasionally, I'll watch movies I've downloaded in AVI/WMV format via my laptop computer's video and audio outputs. I can cause an audible hum if I plug my laptop's power supply into a DIFFERENT outlet. And yes, the SB3 DOES generate some radio frequencies. It's worse when it's trying to connect to a webradio station that's offline. I know, because if I'm standing near it, my Fire Department radio belt pager starts broadcasting static noise. But it's not low frequency at all. And for that matter, my SB3 sits directly atop my McIntosh 2205 power amplifier. I've never heard any hum or any extraneous noise on my system as a result of the SB3 being connected (except the dreaded White Noise of Death, but that's something else entirely) -- Cleve McIntosh MX-132 preamp/tuner McIntosh MC2205 amplifier McIntosh MC7100 amplifier McIntosh MAC4100 receiver Klipsch CF-4 speakers (front and center) Klipsch CF-3 speakers (surrounds) Denon DR-M3 Cassette Deck ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cleve's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2048 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22274 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
