You need to edit the other video because many people won't see this one. Good video. I was an electronics tech for several years and have been an audiophile for the last 30. Grounding issues are not uncommon. Outlaw seems to have an excellent design. I prefer when chassis are grounded as it makes the whole appliance like a Faraday Cage and reduces outside interference. Ideally everything would be grounded and shielded in the whole signal path!

[TechnoDad]

Yup! That can happen. I use a ground lift to eliminate hum as well.

[jebojc]

Thanks for the follow up. This is good to know, considering I have a 7000X showing up at my house Saturday 😂

[Squishmallows]

This was actually driving me crazy when I got my outlaw 5000x. I’m not expert so after hours and hours and hours of reading online I finally came across someone saying just use speaker wire to connect one end to the outlaw and the other end to receiver hum was gone lol

[whatever_]

A tip i got when hearing humm noise is to disconnect every input 1 by 1 until you find out what's causing it.. even the source (bluray players etc) from your hdmi to your receiver can cause it.. This is pretty frequent in uk

[Chris-hruj]

Nice follow up, dont worry about error, we've all been there in our professions. Ive always gotten a ton of helpful info from your channel. You were quick to set the record straight. Learn something new every day. I had hum on my old stereo with an rca connection at one point and now i know how i could have gotten rid of it.

[ashikhan]

Thank you for this!! I was turned off to outlaw, after seeing your last video. Outlaw is now back in the contention of me picking them and my amps. This let me know I they have put a fair amount of engineering and thought into there products. I appreciate that! Thanks again!

[dbascur]

excellent video! This has to be one of the most informative autio/videos troubleshooting 101 videos ive seen on youtube.

[NeoDon]

As SOON as I connected a gound speaker wire the hum was completey gone I mean we can here NOTHING at ALL, Except GREAT SOUND! Thanks Outlaw!

[kevinusta]

It took me a while to figure out, but mine was caused by my ISP rg6 cable. Plugged that cable into my Furman power conditioner/filter before the Comcast router.

Clean as a whistle now.

Hums, can come from just about anything in the chain. I drove my self crazy with my Parasound amp at the time. My hum was coming from my cable TV coax cable. I used a Jensen transformer on the cable line and that eliminated the hum. This happens on Parasound and my Outlaw 7000x..The 7000x is a great amp dead silent with the transformer on the cable line. This amp cannot be beat in this price range. It performs as well as my Parasound A23, if not even better. A23 is a two channel for about the same cost as the 7000x, I was very surprised how it compared.

[htenthusiast]

Outlaw is great, I love my 7000X and being connected to a Denon receiver sounds exactly like your Marantz, or a no issue to me. I really wish they would expand their line with a 3 and maybe a 2 channel as more people get into Pre-Pros. Great follow up!

[boveejg]

This was a good video. One thing I wish you had done at the end would have been to test to see if the same red wire had any effect for the minor noise from the Marantz connected to the right speaker. It was nearly inaudible but testing it out would have been interesting.

[GTGrabber]

I have to try this with my minidsp. Ever since adding it for my subwoofers, Ive had a hum.

[SteveKlein-ob]

I wonder if the difference with your preamp vs the marantz was that the preamp might have a stronger preout voltage vs. the marantz. All things being equaul you might have heard the same amount of ground noise

[robertrenelle]

Definitely edit your first video so . You should relisten to both amps again and give us your opinion on the difference in sounds and performance. Nice follow-up. Good for you and us, and outlaw audio.

[elmerbais]

I bought ground loop and attached it to the end of the comcast cable going to my AVR, that solve my humming sounds. (Old house)
New house no problem at all, no need to use my ground loop.

[joentell]

Very useful video. Good job showing and not telling. ;-)

[ronpa]

Thanks Elan for finding the solution
But I have a different issue
I have outlaw 7500
It has huge white noise without any input provided
The white noise only goes down with XLR s connected to a prepro
And one channel has more white noise than the rest
How can I fix it
In general I have more white noise on this amp when compared to my other amp

[panamalee]

It's pretty much what we do in Car Audio Installs when we get a ground loop.
