It was the tubes! Not only is the noise gone, but these tubes sound SO much better. Thanks for all the help here!

I did not try the tubes. Just ordered them from you. Will report back as soon as they get here.... Thank you!

Moved the cell phone out of the room and killed the wifi - still making the noises... Volume pot is grounded (meant to mention that in the OP)

Hey all, I built a Millet Max a number of years ago, and sadly its been stored away for a while. I just busted it out at my new office, and I have this very low level noise coming through. It is best described as digital noise, sort of a wavering digital sounding high pitched hum. It does...

I have never built one, but most go with a 3 board + the power supply.     http://www.glassjaraudio.com/product.sc?productId=5&categoryId=2   Populating the 3 boards plus the power supply is going to to take you to about $400 at the least, so come to think it may end up being pricier in...

I just finished a Max and have a bantam coming in the mail....   Next it looks like I am going to do a b22 - thats in your price range as well...

Hey All,   After searching the forums for quite some time to find an answer to my issue I came up blank so here it goes...   I successfully have constructed a millet max and it sounds awesome!  I have a strange issue though that I can't figure out...   When there are no cables...

I am an audio engineer, and I use them in my home studio to keep my monitors off of my desk. As far as their function I think they work great. They do a great job of eliminating vibrations to my other equipment and IMHO (with my speakers...) tighten up the bass. I do not use these in my 'hi-fi'...

Anyone out there have any experience with these? I am looking to upgrade from my Harmon Kardon AVR and DVD-48...

lmf22... what are your thoughts on the bullet plug upgrade? Is it worth the extra 30 bucks? (I hate RCAs that terminate too tight!)

Thanks for the responses guys... After doing a little more research, I'm thinking I'll give signal cable a try...and work from there. Thanks again!

Hey all, Couple quick questions for you.... I have been doing some research as to what kind of cables, I am going to use in my system, and so far what is looking best to me is the sidewinder series by Audioquest. They are in my price range, and and have the style and quality I am looking...
