In the past, I have seen a few others report this experience here in the thread. Perhaps, someone will come along and can help you further.

If the hun goes away when disconnecting the RCA then you have the classic ground loop issue. try different RCA cables and see if your RCA shield is connected only on one end. What is your source? Your amp itself is okay.

I am using the generic Burson cables I receive when I bought the HA160D. I just purchase a pair of copper shielded RCA cables from Trevor at Norse Audio. By the way, his cables and service are excellent! and they actually work! 

Connected from the PC to the Burson HA160D and then the rca out the the WA6SE. I am using the dac and preamp of the 160D.

Thanks in advance!

Comparing to the lcd 2 stock cables, you experience better dynamics, larger soundstage, more smoother mids. It was a huge difference when i compared them together.

Any recommendations? I have a beyer T1 and in 3 or 4 weeks also a Woo 2.
And my Fiancee wants a wishlist for christmas, a nice DAC would be delicious :-)

Congrats on the woo2 ! You should love it with the T1.

Oh, and congrats on the T1s too ...

And the DX.

Twelve 596 tubes are leaving to their new owners on Saturday. I should be named "The 596 Guy" or something under my Nickname. Who can make that happen? rolleyes.gif

Careful, you'll end up a MOT or something silly!

 

Well done on the 596's, as one of the lucky recipients I want to say THANK YOU for doing the leg work for us.  Awesome stuff.  I'm excited to try this tube.   

 

Of course, I need to get an adapter! Keph, are you out there?
