Ooops!! Didn't realise there was a whole section here about this issue... I've made a bit of progress so far. Got balanced cables connecting the 1814 to my desk. That's taking most of the nastiness away, but there's still some noise coming through the speakers... the good thing is that this does not get louder as you increase the volume. I'm going to try som DIs with ground lifts to see what happens there... Some cool posts in this thread, very helpful!!
I've seen the two prong solution... but surely there must be some sort of replacement power supply you can get?? the ground loop isolator isn't an option really... I'm using multiple outputs, and even when I've the computers channel on the desk deactivated, your still getting interferance through the speakers...

Ok. I've been looking through the forums and there's some useful info, but it's scattered. My budget is $1500 - $2000 (living in Ireland, but the Dollar seems to be on a par wth the Euro - with notebooks anyhow...). I have a desktop PC, which I use for everything - but i want a dedicated music system for modest studio use, and some ambitious live work. I'll be running Ableton and Reason, with an M-audio Firewire 1814 and various midi controllers... I also have an...
I'm wondering if the heat issues on the W3V comparable to a Powerbook. Powerbooks get quite hot indeed... any comments?
