Ok, thank you.

I am still waiting on the diodes so I can do the modification to the ICE.

The intermittent high pitch noise in the right channel is still there. It comes on and ends with a short even higher pitch burst. It ends like if you where turning off the water in a sink, a gradual but a short process. As I have said before this noise is not there when use a different source.

Does this tell you anything or is there something I could do to get an answer to why this is happening and what can be done to fix it.

Please help in fixing this issue.

With regards, Bergur

I think it's likely that the diode modification will solve this issue.

No, it just mitigates noise from sources that may have CPU related earth noise issues.

Did the diode modification and dead silent

Thank you very much for your advice!

Can you be so kind as to explain in a few words how this solution works ?

The amp still has a earth connection ?

I am sending you a picture just to make sure I did it right.

Is it OK ?
