I finally completed my cable management and I must say, I did a pretty darn good job. Unfortunately, the hum lived on and I quickly became desperate to find the culprit.

So I went through the gamut of disconnecting/reconnecting everything....still had the hum. Sweaty and baffled, I took a seat and tried making some common sense of the whole thing. One thing I noticed, I only got the hum at night. Well, what happens in the house at night that doesn't happen during the day....LIGHTS. At night, allot of lights are on and doing what they do best, humming.

Now on a mission....I disturbed the entire house by having them turn on all the lights. And one by one we shut them off. We were down to the last two lights and low and behold, they went off and euphoria happened. Two flood lights off the back of my home are now considered banned from being used. Woohoooooo!!!

Next move, have a separate 20amp circuit installed to just support the HT. One good thing to come from all this....I have cable management nirvana.

Although cable management wasn't the fix and hasn't identified any significant improvement in HT/2CH Music playback; it looks good.
