Double check 3L, seems to be a troublesome terminal related to ground issues. Here's a ground connection check guide too: https://forum.bottlehead.com/index.php?topic=4812.0Alas I didn't. It all tested fine when I first did it and I was just reflowing things so didn't deem it necessary. When I put it all back together I will do the checks.
Before I re-flowed though I tested the power cord I made. No inputs just phones into the unit. With the old power cord (from a 5A LED power supply) it was pretty quiet but you could hear hum at near max to max volume. With new power cord, silent all the way to max. After reflow............humm all the way from bottom. lol. Sounds to me like ground. Like the humm you get plugging a guitar into an amp with a dodgy lead. Like the beginning of Oasis-Cigarettes and alcohol.
I get this. My phone's charger base is above the Crack. My solution is to turn the phone off. lol. Works a treat and no interruptions either.
Is it a router you are talking about or wi-fi? If router, can't you shield around that and hide it away somewhere?
It doesn't mention the grounded pads on the speedball upgrade though.
