Whilst I wait for my T-Amp to arrive, I've got my SB3 plugged into some Labtek computer speakers. The speakers themselves don't actually sound too bad, but they have a fairly loud hum when the SB3 is plugged in. When powered on, but with nothing plugged into them, they are fine. The moment I plug in the SB3, they start to hum. However, if I touch the exposed metal parts of the rca connectors, the hum goes away. I'm not suggesting that this is the fault of the SB3, but is there anything that people can suggest to sort this out (short of standing touching the connectors all the time!)? My limited electrical knowledge tells me that I have mains hum and that there is a grounding issue.
One thing of note, is that I'm fairly sure the speakers didn't hum when plugged into the SoundBlaster Live in my computer.
