Examine your answers

Yes, to questions 1 and 2

If the answers to questions one and two are yes, it’s likely

that one of your sources (CD player, turntable, video feed),

is the cause of hum. Remove that piece from the receiver,

amplier, or integrated and the system hum should now

be gone.

Once identied you can either replace that piece of gear

or read our extended hum xing guide found here:

hum-extended/

Yes, to question 3

If steps 1 and 2 were “no”, but removing all inputs

eliminates the hum, it is likely you have what is called a

ground loop.

Ground loops are common when video equipment is

connected. In particular, a cable TV connection.

Reconnect each source again, one at a time and listen

for the hum to return. The oending piece of equipment

will show itself when you follow this procedure.
