Tubes Asylum Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ |

In it's first incarnation my tube system started out with a hum that was quite unnerving. After reading a few threads in the archive I broke the system down to Pre and amp and added components until the culprit revealed itself. It was my Sony DVD/SACD player or so I thought. When I unplugged the component video from the DVD player the hum vanished. As the component cable was hooked to my TV the end culprit was labeled the TV.
Yesterday the ole Sony DVD finally gave up the ghost and presented me with the OPPOrtunity (sorry, couldn't resist) to buy the OPPO BDP83SE that has been all the rage. After getting it home and beginning the setup process I hooked up the HDMI to the TV and guess what? Right, HUM. Now some, it if not all, of you might be nodding your heads thinking "silly Squid, everyone knows you can't introduce a connection from a television to a tube system without getting the dreaded HUM". IF this is the case I had never heard of it but hey, I'm a bit of a newcomer to the tube world.
So finally the question, is it possible to somehow make this connection and not get hum, some method that escapes me that might make this marriage possible? Or Is it just the price of admission?
