oh man...... i'm gonna need a body guard, and witness protection services from the FBI (they have my number and address)...
but just so you know, ayt999, my hum is the same level, no matter where the volume knob is. if yours gets louder as you turn up the volume, it's most likely a ground loop, not the problem i had. please make sure it's not a ground loop before you call them, cause i don't want them thinking, "dang, i do something nice once, now i get all this trouble." you know what i mean?
actually....... TO ALL WHO ARE WORRIED ABOUT HUM IN YOUR 901: if you unplug all the inputs, and your problem goes away, it IS NOT the same problem as mine. it is a ground loop most likely, and that's a function of your own environment, not the 901's construction!
you know, there's usually some sort of hum present in all audio systems, even at extremely low levels. the more equipment you have, the more hum you will probably have. now, the 901's high gain mode is REALLY sensitive. match that with ultra sensitive phones, and you are essentially looking at audio with a high magnification microscope! do not be alarmed if you hear hum. it's there. just like if you look at your own skin with a microscope you'll see millions of bugs. they exist all the time. that is not necessarily a problem with the construction. the 901 in high gain mode is more sensitive than any amp i have ever owned.
