RE: Ella buzzes when I plug in Active Preamp

I think I can answer my own question-- the hum seems to be caused by a ground loop coming through the audio signal from my television. I feel like an idiot not to have recognized this before posting here. It's interesting that the hum is not audible with any other amplifier I've had in this system. The Ella is, I suppose, more sensitive-- but without the television plugged in, the Ella is also completely free of any hum or buzz.

The Ella is a terrific amplifier, by the way. If anyone out there is looking for a good match to Quad ESL 57's, this should be on your list.
