March 15, 200917 yr I notinced the weirdest thing tonight, I'd just been listening to something directly from the Gamma 1 DAC and the music ended and I was typing a message when I got a hum in one ear. It was coming in and out as the cat was passing over the wire. I called the cat back over and was able to get the phones to hum as I stroked or went near the cat! It's very odd, anyone else ever had this happen? PC > Gamma Dac > Yammy HP-1 > cat (himalayan) don't know if hum is species specific or not.
March 15, 200917 yr Nope. I've never heard anything like that. Feline crackle, on the other hand, used to be a common sound in my home, happening when a cat attacks cables and/or cords in use at the time. After being followed by feline slap, where the cat gets a whack on the head, feline crackle ceased to be a problem.

March 15, 200917 yr Author cat walks over headphone wires = hummmm cat walks away, I reach for cat= hmmmm strokes cat=hmmm, hmmm, hmmm so the chain of components can change order but cat is still the errant component, I believe he has grounding issues but when I approach him with the meter he flees! Would a copper collar to ground fix this? Anyway, I will carry out this experiment with the second himalayan to see if it's just a single faulty cat or a problem with the make. I'll report back later when I catch him.
March 15, 200917 yr Author Kitties are awesome Apparently not when used for RF rejection. Any Idea how much it would cost to make a set of cat clothes from ERS paper.. Edited March 15, 200917 yr by Smeggy
March 15, 200917 yr Get a fish tank or a humidifier, and rub them with a dryer sheet. More info here: How to de-static a cat? - Horsetopia Forum
March 15, 200917 yr I would get a de-humidifier and rub your cat with a fleece blanket Then place cat under said blanket and watch it try to escape from the sparks as they increase.

March 20, 200917 yr Author the feline hum issue seems to have been resolved by shielded cables on my phones. Cat hum problem is now much reduced.
