Re: [Doepfer_a100] Interferences from A-138s into LC6

2018-06-12 by Diego Ragnini

Thanks, the cables are all recent doepfer
Not sure to know how to do this experiment though I will try. 
Which GND do you refer to? 
Just the one of the audio 2 (the source which feeds the A138s) or the multed audio 1 as well?
Audio 2 is from a DPO mounted on a A-100P9 PSU3
Audio 1 is from a Bastl Instruments SoftPop, which in the meanwhile went back to the dealer to be replaced for another kind of issue. I had noticed some electricity at fingers while touching the side panels of its case. It probably is not properly grounded, though it shows some sockets for grounding.

Best wishes,
Diego
