Hi:
I've spent over an hour searching for an answer, but since I don't know what question I should ask, I've not been successful. I'm setting up a small stereo with my Macbook Pro as the front end: MBP into EICO 20wpc integrated through AUX input to PSB Alpha B1 speaks. MBP is quiet when listening to internal speakers; amp, in the past has been dead quiet with no hum. Now I'm getting voracious 60 cycle hum that is attenuated by the amp volume control; every time a switched appliance [including the amp] turns on or off I get a horrendous pop that gives the speakers St. Vitus' Dance.

This is probably a common and easily fixed problem, but Hey! ignorance is bliss!
