Duff interconnect?
Posted by: Simon C on 24 July 2017
Good evening,
Brand new Shawline RCA to Din is humming like a bird.
A quick continuity check shows:
left RCA central pin is connected to Din Ch1
right RCA central pin connected to Din Ch2
outer collars of both RCA not connected to any Din pin or Din collar.
outer collars of both RCAs show continuity with each other.
Is it safe to assume the hum is due to the -ve not being connected in the Din or am I missing something?

Incorrect design or incorrect construction... Yes that'll be the source of the hum.
As per the title - Duff cable.
Get Duff Man from 'The Simpsons' to fix it, 'cause likely it was Homer wot made it!
