Has anyone noticed a low hum from Cascade power base ? ---

@ASIO, i can only hear a low buzzing/humming sound when i press my ear on the top of the Powerbase chassis. 🙂 My Cascade Powerbase is alone on a separate platform. How near were you when you heard the low hum? Is your Cascade Powerbase on a separate shelf? ---

When I am standing by it I hear it , I have them stacked but also tried seperation and it did not change. If room is quiet and you stand buy it you can hear it . Maybe it’s normal 🤦‍♂️ ---

Nothing If you have something I’m sure it is yours power there is the problem. Move it to another group in the house and see if it still is there ---

I’ve had one other person mention this. I’ve personally never heard one hum before but I’m looking into it and am working on testing a few different options. I’ve had other electronics in my home hum after a whole house battery system was installed and the hum would come/go when I turned in on/off. This was fixed with a power filter for them. ---

I moved the Cascade to our other home and hum was still there ---

I want to say thanks to the guys at MSB , they kept addressing my hum issue and came up a solution. While my Cascade was there, I had it blacked out and blue display added. MSB support is for sure top notch. ![IMG_9113](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex003/uploads/msbtechnology/original/1X/8d460879e94db8d1787de62279da268ea960b5f2.jpeg) ---

Glad to hear it resolved the hum for you @ASIO ! Matte black and blue is a good look as well 👍
