Re: reverb sheild

2008-08-19 by swordsect

My A-199 has an awful buzz, i've tried moving it as far away from
the PSU as possible, there's still a buzz, its pretty much useless
at this point because its so bad.  So for the Mu-Metal Foil, if you
were to get some of this, where would you put it on the module? 
would you just wrap the RCA cord in it?  Thanks! Jon
