Actually, I'm experiencing more 60hzhumm than high frequency hiss. This old house needs an electrical update and power balance or filter of some sort.

If you leave the cap off your glue bottle you'll get an infection.

We just picked up the lord of the rings dvd the other day. Have not seen it yet. Fargo was bizzare, and good.

For straight 5dB padding without any top-octave augmentation, I'd suggest 4 ohms in series and 10 ohms in shunt across the tweeter.

I think line frequency hum (and its full-cycle rectified double) are probably the most oft-cited problem in audio. Ironically, this almost never plagues people running four hundred dollar receivers. Just the guys running expensive separates, who have to deal with ground loops and relatively long preamp signal lines. I think a lot of tube amps probably have relatively primitive power supply circuits too, so that probably introduces some hum as well.

I'm not sure if this applies to you Bill, but I went to an active XO a while back and experienced hum that wasn't present with the passive XO. My problem turned out to be cable related. On the back of my XO (Urei 525) there is provision to use XLR's or barrier strips on the in puts and outputs. By putting jumpers between the ground on the barrier strip and the neutral on the input side, my hum went away.

Hi Kelly,

Wayne's right about the expensive stuff. never a problem with a receiver and always , lets just say challanging with seperates!

This time its coming from from the expensive tube amp. This is the only one that is not connected with balanced lines from the crossover.

I still have a couple different ways to try and connect the bal/unbal together. There is still always "gasp" ground lifting.

Your right though, it's in the cabling because this amp doesnt have a hum when its all by itself.

Yeah, I'm wishing all of us could get together more often too. There's a meeting this Saturday here in Tulsa, and it would be sooooo cool if you and Baker and Epstein and Duemm could pop on over. I wish we could have all gone to the Stones concert with George too. But it ain't like we're 20 years old anymore - We each have responsibilities and can't make weekend road trips as often as we used too. Sure would be great if we lived closer though!!!
