Thanks for the advice! A new linear power supply made the noise disappear. Unfortunately, I won't be able to change to a grounded connection for the Nait. /Munge -- Munge Munge's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/mem

I just used an 100 Ohm resistor to couple my ground to earth in my power amplifiers. This should be enough for static. I also added a 100nf capacitor in parallel. Works like a charm and all humming is gone. -- Wombat Womba

You're obviously not in the UK. The Nait should be grounded through the mains lead - the ground is connected to the metal chassis and provides a safety earth in the event of an internal fault making the metalwork live. Maybe if you're on 110V this isn't considered necessary ... If you can, I wo

Nothing else is connected to the Nait. Also, the power cable to the Nait is connected to an un-grounded outlet (only have grounded outlets in the kitchen/bathroom). /Munge -- Munge Munge's Profile: http://forums.slimdevic

What else do you have connected to the Nait? The SB3 has no ground and Naim systems expect a signal ground to mains earth connection in the CDP. -- Patrick Dixon www.at-tunes.co.uk Patrick Dixon's Profile: http://forums.

There is a NAIM forum at www.naim-audio.com and you may get the best help there. However, I've been running all NAIM gear with an SB3 (with stock psu and Elpac psu) and then a Transporter and have never experienced any humming or ground loop problems. I think there are a couple of others on this f
