Hi, all
I recently bought a new hifi setup, Arcam A19 amp, Kef R100 speakers, Rega RP3 turntable, Pioneer N50 streamer, Pioneer PD30 cd player.
Everything works well, I am very happy with the sound. However both the A19 and the N50 have a noticeable hum. Does anyone know if this is normal? I find it a bit annoying, but maybe I am too sensitive? I am thinking of getting an enclosed cabinet, which I guess would solve the problem, although this could be annoying for accessing the back on the components, especially the N50. Also, are amps, streamers more likely to have transformer hum compared to cd players? The PD30 is perfect. Is there anything I can do to reduce the hum? Maybe something between the units and the mains?
Thanks for your thoughts. All products are under warranty so I could try and send for repair.
