Hi All. I've noticed recently that there is a constant buzzing sound coming from my hifi speakers, whether there is music playing or not.
I tried swapping the cables around and checked if there were any loose connections and it's still the same so I'm inclined to think it is the actual amp rather than the speakers. It's an old Yamaha CR600(I think?) which has always been fine - to my ears at least - so i;m not sure what's happened to it recently. I don;t use it all that often so could that be it? seems unlikely given how old it is and the fact that it was stored away in my dad's loft for at least 10 years.
Is there anything i can try? it's always served me well and combined with the old B&W speakers i've got with it it sounds good to me and i;d imagine better than a cheapish newer setup so i'm keen to get it working properly again if it's possible.
I've actually just ordered a DAC so i can plug in my tv to the system so the buzzing will probably become much more noticeable at tv level volumes. When listening to music you can;t notice it other than when the tracks change!
