Hey guys,

Maybe a strange question, but I was hoping that I would get rid of the noise that my amp generates fueling my cheap KRK passive monitors by buying active monitors (Samson Rubicon 8 A)

I mean...they are really great, but when I am mixing I can not get used to the noise that I hear (sometimes even jitterish noise..)

I use a G5 with a RME Hammerfall HDSP. I tried to click different values in the Hammerfall settings (maybe the sound would improve, but unfortunately not). It almost sound like it is an earthing problem..a
I know....just lower the volume...but that is not it....When you are mixing 8 hours a day you will end up in a sanatarium this way

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!
