Hi Everyone,
I registered on this forum in the hope someone can help me out...
I have just moved into a new home and my Rotel hifi system, which worked fine in my old home, has consistently started making a loud buzz after being on for about 30-60 minutes. I'm pretty sure it is due to static electricity as the sound of the hum changes when I touch the amp while it is making it. I asked a friend of mine who knows more of hifi's to have a look at it. He said he had the amp playing for a whole day (in his workplace) and it didn't make a buzz . He also opened it up and said everything inside looked fine... he didn't know what was wrong. I have tried plugging it into different sockets, I have replaced the speaker cables so that they are newer and shorter... nothing helps.
So somehow there is something about my current setup in my new home which is making the hifi buzz. I have no idea how to solve this...
Here's my setup: iPod into aux input of Rotel RC-9708X into Rotel RB-9708X.
Sorry for probably quite basic question... Any advice is appreciated!
Cheers
