Default hum F5

Hi,

My F5 is very stable.
But I have a problem: when you connect the CD player cable the hum is a very big ... I've tried several cables, but it's just the same ... Without cables, the F5 is very quiet. Can somebody help me with an advice?



Thancks!

Vitalie

for test - try disconnecting gnd (shield) on ONE channel of CD -AMP cable ;

you probably have ground loop ; if that helps , write again

Make sure BOTH are plugged into the SAME outlet. If you can't do that, then use a quality power strip to supply power to both pieces of equipment. Most CD players are NOT grounded, so this may or may not be the problem.

I have a switchable ground on my amps.
If connected to an MP3 player or an ungrounded device then I switch the earth in.
If any earthed device causes hum I switch out the earth on the amp.
