Well, I can check for this in two rather precise ways. First, I can play a silent track through the SB with the volume on everything maxed. If I don't hear a hum at that level, it's hard to believe it could affect my listening experience when the volume is much lower and music is playing. Second, and I'll try this, I can connect the analogue out of the SB to a computer audio interface I have and record the waveform. If there's a 60 Hz component it will show up (either in the fourier transform or just by eye). -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31758 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
