computers, electrostatic loudspeakers, subwoofers,
record players or headphone amplifiers, as long
as there is an audio connection to the amplifier.

electromagnetic irradiation from the power supply
unit of other equipment (e.g. amplifiers, receivers,
CD players, tuners etc.) on the pick-up of a connec-

of such faults oneself by changing the position of
the record player in respect of other appliances.
Some amplifiers are fitted with a "Ground lift"
switch. When this is pressed, housing potential
and earth conductor potential are disconnected
from the central appliance signal potential. The
effect of the earth remains unchanged. This can
help to counteract humming loops. If this humming
noise cannot be rectified by your own efforts, your
local stockist will be able to help you.
