Re: Electrical Buzzing Sound

For those who can't wait for Mega-slow upload I've attached an mp3 copy ... peculiarbuzzing (mp3 version).mp3 The buzzing is mains hum (50Hz type). Is it because it's a round 2-pin plug using a 2-pin to 3-pin adapter? I'd love to know. If a M ono jack-plug is (incorrectly) inserted into a S tereo so...
