does anyone have a solution to my humming tempest ?

I can hear the hum when I get within a foot or two of the unit

strange, becuase it recently came back from Odysseys repair shop where they replaced the on off switch and supposedly resoldered some cold joints and added some grounding. it never hummed before but now it does. Is this normal or does it need to back to the shop one more time. this is getting expensive to ship.

I think a call to Klaus is in order. Some of the transformers were known to be hummers; you may need to have yours swapped out. Again contact Klaus first. IMO.

After thinking this over. I moved the Tempest to another room and plugged it in, without any rcas attached.
Looks like the hum is gone. NOw I'm really confused.

take it back to the original room and unplug one pair of interconnects at a time untill the hum goes away. could be an interconnect contact issue.

In my experiencie:

Check your DC component in your AC line. If it is high tat's maybe the reason Tempest's humming.


Maybe a product like CI's can help you.

Maybe before that check that there is no antena plugged to any power centrl strip or something like that and that you neither has a DVD player connected to a TV (video) that has an antenna whose audio outputs are plugged to Tempest.

Sound weird these possibilities but check it please
