hi friends,

i finish f100 psu and put on ax14 . its working nice and good not hot but warm. but there is one little problem i have and cannot fix it.

when there is no sgnal i getting humm. but if i connect my radio and put volume half on it that humm going away or i dont feel cause of the music i dont know. maybe humm coming from bad grounding i check it but cannot see any problem. it can take noise from air?

or maybe my schematic wrong one?

please help any idea can be important..

dc ofset 2.6mV
power + - 47VDC
bias at 0,33ohm resistor is 10mV

where do i need to look for that problem?
note: yes i did make input gnd to psu gnd, out gnd to psu gnd,

here is a version of above quoted crc with either CT trafo or dual secondary trafo. though slightly larger at 95 mm x 99mm, it can now take up 35mm caps, 6 x 3W resistors or 2 x 5W resistors.
The center bridge to be used only when CT trafo is to be connected.

Having some fun with Autodesk Fusion to create 3D models, here are some images😀. Earlier 3D's from sketch-up were too drab😱.

its the compact CRC PSU PCB with ability to use either CT trafo / dual secondary trafo of the quoted post😛

still cannot fix it 🙁

if i short input then humm going away i find its coming from input cable i change and use shilded cable too but still same just drop noise a little. i remember i was have same problem 1 year ago again on same amp i think there is some thing i doing wrong.

what can i do please any help can be powerfull.

thank you.
