I noticed that both this post and Laura Taylor's post were left out of the last digest for some reason (although pfink's response to Laura's question made it in). Weird -- not sure how often that happens. Anyway, if anyone has advice on this lemme know. thanks, joe - ------ Forwarded Message From: Joe Emery Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2007 16:15:40 -0600 To: Bomp Conversation: cowsills question Subject: cowsills question someone recently hipped me to the garage hangover site, where i downloaded the first cowsills single, "all i really wanta be is me." stunning -- as great as any obscure jangly garage stuff i've ever heard. original 7" is on ebay right now for a mere $125 if anyone wants to buy it. anyway, does anyone know if their other super early stuff is worth seeking out? joe - ------ End of Forwarded Message ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2007 07:32:24 -0800 (PST) From: Bob Widenhofer Subject: Re: [bomp] Mystery Buzz from DVD Player to CD Burner Yes, it can be a grounding issue. Especially in a lovely and otherwise very cool older home such as yours. Even when I lived in a very modern house, built in 1995, I had to deal with things like this. When we ditched the suburbs and bought older crib in town (1950), I had the place rewired, but it can still happen. The first thing to try is DIRT SIMPLE. Unplug one of the two gizmos (I'm assuming at least one of 'em has a two prong plug here) and rotate the plug...i.e. stick the prongs back into the socket opposite of the way they were before. If you had a polarity mismatch before, that'll make it go away. I have an old Harmon-Kardon hi fi that hums like mad if the turntable is plugged in w/ opposite polarity. Even in a modern house. ALSO: a lot of people believe that they're "grounding" a device when they use one of those widowmaker adapters with two prongs on one side and a three-prong outlet on the other. Don't bet on it.

In another room, I have a DVD player, with analog RCA audio outputs that hook up to my TV. I was attempting, for the first time, to burn audio from a DVD onto a CD. I lugged my CD burner out to where the DVD player was, used the same RCA cables that went into the TV, and plugged them into the analog inputs on the CD burner. When I previewed the sound in record mode, there was a substantial buzz that was nearly as loud as the audio signal on the DVD. The buzz registered on ther record meters too. I was using the very same cord Id used to plug into the TV, so I doubt a faulty cord was the issue. Following some other suggestions, I unplugged the antenna from the TV. I also unplugged the video cable from the DVD player, shut off the TV, and turned off lights. Still a buzz. Ive grounded turntables, of course, but never had to ground any other audio equipment. Is this likely the issue? If not, where might the buzz be coming from? It seems like a pretty straightforward setup.
