Just wondering if others have noticed the introduction of a hum in recordings when using the AC adapter with the M10. I'm doing some vinyl transfers, and decided to use AC rather than batteries, and a low hum was loud and clear on the recordings. Sigh. . .
-
The hum definitely doesn't appear when transferring from vinyl with batteries in?
-
I have never used an AC adapter with an M10. FWIW, I had an offbrand laptop power supply that introduced hum onto my laptop when I was recording via firewire from a Focusrite interface. the hum went away when I switched to a factory power supply.
-
is your power adapter on the same circuit as the playback system?
-
My M10 power adapter is still in the box that it came in, where it has been since day one. If I was using the M10 to transfer 100 vinyl's I'd still use batteries.
-
I honestly forgot that the M10 even came with a power adapter until I saw this post.
But anyway, testing to see if the problem recurs while running with batteries seems like the necessary first step.

Absolutely not. I prefer to use the AC adaptor when transferring vinyl, hate to have to do a side over if the batteries croak!
Never had a problem like that with the M10.
