The other Jim Williams still reigns over at Gearslutz, thankfully correcting the seemingly endless mistakes made by "lesser" engineers and designers. One piece of gear at a time he's ensuring that every mic pre can also pass light, that all caps are black gate and that every opamp used has a slew rate of 3000V per uS.

Jim (the one still alive) can be a little extreme but generally does more good than bad with his equipment modifications. He uses empirical objective measurements from his real test equipment and often makes gear better than needed, not a sin.Rob Flinn said:Aha. Well that's a good reason to keep avoiding Gearslutz ....

Short of taking it to a tech, any recommendations on what could be causing it? Thanks fellas!
Acoustic hum in a transformer can be caused by lousy mains power. Have you metered your mains voltage? Any weird loads.jdurango said:Correct, acoustic hum with nothing plugged in is the issue here. It seems to be something misbehaving, especially with the seemingly erratic behavior. I'll try checking with JW of AU himself, but as some of you have pointed out, he can be a bit "temperamental" and "seemingly erratic" as well. That said, you can't say the guy doesn't take his craft seriously or maintain VERY high standards.
