I just moved recently and hooked my Rhythmik audio amp and two gr subs up and seem to be running into an issue. The amp powers on but I seem to be getting a noise to the subs ? sounds like continous S.O.S.

If I play with the power switch on the amp a little the sound will go away but come back once I start playing music.

 

Anything I can do to troubleshoot this on my end to determine root cause?

Brian said it sounds like a ground loop and recommended a cheater plug. So see what that does for you.

That didn't do anything - plus it really isn't a hum sound more like a static noise sound. I tried a different power cable to amp, RCA cable from Pre amp and still same issue. It didn't do this a couple days ago. Just noticed it yesterday. I even took the BFD out of the picture.

You didn't mention that you plug the interconnects going to the subs from the pre-amp into the sats.
If you haven't done that.  Try it and see what happens.

Unplug your TVcable antannae from your stereo, that is often a problem with it not being grounded correctly.

Confused....

I have the sub interconnect going from my LMC-1 sub out to sub in on left input. This noise I am getting isn't heard until I turn the volume past 0. It has a crackling noise to it.

I don't run cable. I have a Tivo HD with OTA. But this is not plugged into the receiver at all.

Brain says:

Plz ask him to disconnect all interconnects and make sure the green light is on and see if the problem is there. If the problem is still there, I would ask him to return amp to me. I should have a couple of trouble shooting tips. They should also feel free to call me directly. The best way to trouble shoot is by phone.

FYI....the issue was with my EMO LMC-1 Pre/Pro as it had a bad analog board causing the odd noise I was getting.

Thanks for the update Chip.

On Dec 4 I tried to tell you to plug the cable going to the sub into the sats.
Wouldn't the sats reveal the noise, or was I giving you ill advise.  Anyway I'm glad you found the problem.

FYI for anyone w/ noise issues, I've found you can get hum if a servo lead is loose.
