I just picked up a pair of Event TR-8's off of craigslist(satan) and i'm pretty happy with them, i have a few questions though:
i get hum from my monitor(flat LCD 17in.) in my speakers, it's not alot but i would like to remove the hum altogether if possible. The speakers are in pretty close proximity to the monitor (about 8 inches on both sides.) so that would likely be a cause of the hum. Also i'm running the Unbalanced RCAs>stereo into my sound card. I've noticed that the location of that cable in proximity to the power cables has alot to do with the hum as well. I've also noticed that when i turn the monitor off, the hum goes away.
Would going balanced reduce the hum? What distance should i have my monitors apart...etc.
thanks.
