I retested them yesterday and noticed a low level hum, but when I switched to another (low power) amp the hum was gone. Not sure this is/was a ground loop issue or aging filter caps in the Koss energizer.
Also, I suspect most of you know this, but these will not work connected to the typical 1/8" or 1/4" headphone jack on a receiver or amp. They need to be driven by a power amp.
