Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Thanks for the replies!!  I've considered looking into some type of groud loop isolater, but 
was hoping to avoid spending any cash.  i should be able to get by with this one-time 
deal.  The buzzing is slightly audible only when there's silence.  I blame it all on my wife- 
she's the one that goes to church and got me roped into this =p  Since I'm new at the 
sound game I thought it'd be good to know how to solve.  I am curious about adding a 
ground wire though.  It seems to make sense if it works for the spdif out.  I also got a 
reply from Emu that suggests loosening/tightening the bottom plate screws- some type of 
sheilding issue?  Have yet to try it.

Thanks again!!
Mike
