Possibly this is a solution for ver .3 owners -- is there a chance that this amp is just VERY sensitive to power-line noise? thanks all for your replies and advice and good luck, o |

It could be ground soldering problem as the headphones cable is picking up static from the carpet. I hope this is it. |
