What does unhooking the amp from the avr do? I will try it now. Click to expand... You need everything disconnected except the amp and the speakers... And then start adding to the AVR to amp, then one device to the AVR etc etc.. one at a time till the hum starts. Nothing connected anywhere before the first test of the amp and speakers.

Start with one piece then add more to the chain untill you find out which piece or pieces are causing issues. It's a methodical process.

No, still just more likely just a ground loop issue in your setup. Every electrical connection can introduce it (like your avr to amp) Reactions: everettT

You can do what you want but think everyone is more in favor of solving the actual problem rather than applying band-aids.

Your problem is a ground loop and they are solvable by logical deduction ALWAYS. I honestly think that owning audio equipment is not for you. Reactions: Tankini
