2010-04-23 Thread JohnSwenson

I've noticed on many different devices that this could cause a hum: A modified sine wave source- which usually is from using a poor quality UPS. Make sure you're not plugged in through anything like that- if you're using a UPS, make sure it's true sine or pure sine wave. That can make a big
