Re: Vortex Noise

[Michael Beck <mibeck@vassar.edu>]

    Don't know if this could be the problem, but my rack setup was 
extremely (almost unusably) noisy in the few minutes before I 
properly grounded everything & ensured there were no ground loops. 
The combination of the Vortex and a Mesa Boogie Studio Pre gave me 
ridiculous amounts of noise. Solution was to float the chassis ground 
of the Boogie and ground the Vortex only through one cable. All other 
cables touching the Vortex and the Boogie have the shield snipped on 
one end. It took a little while to plan out, but now it's damn quiet. 
Except when I don't want it to be, of course :)...
