Constant buzzing - can it be killed!

[William Walker <billwalker@baymoon.com>]

Hey kris if this has become a recent phenomena, it might be due to  
using the new energy saving fluorescent light bulbs. I was getting ton  
of extra noise until I realized they were the culprit and any room on  
the same circuit as mine like the bathroom had to have the lights  
replaced with standard incandescent bulbs. I still have some issues  
with buzz and also with proximity to transformers in my room, example:  
if I set my guitar to close to my furman power conditioner  my guitar  
buzzes.  It may be that my power conditioner is old enough (+20 years)  
now that some of its filter capacitors are getting old and noisy. The  
real solution would be getting an isolation transformer for your  
studio room, but they aren't cheap,  some costing upwards of $1000  
dollars or more  and they tend to be pretty massive them selves. Try  
changing the lights first, that may clear up your problem.
