What do you need them for? What's your setup?

Then you have absolutely no idea what a budget setup can produce..

Sure it is

lol I'm too stoned right now to debate this but Finny until you actually hear all those " double-sheilded stiff cables, $7250 cables, external DACs, £300 sound cards, electricity cleaners, and whatever guff you audiophiles pour money into" all of your statements have no weight.

Bevo this is a laptop we are talking about right? I already told you to unplug laptop from the power socket and if the buzzing sound continues its not related to power issue. Laptop runs on battery and a battery cannot produce any noise. And if power from the wall socket does its either your dirty electrical wiring or a shitty power supply. But if on battery the buzz disappears then you don't need a power adapter to test it again.

Grounding plug seems to have worked. Absolutely silent now. Don't know what the humming was from before.

It's gone back to it's intermittent buzz.

I wonder what's causing it. :\

Quite possible - i'll try and separate them from everything on my desk when I get back from class.

Would higher quality/TRS cables stop interference?

After a little bit of testing, it seems to be the cable. The right/red RCA cable produces a buzz regardless of which monitor it goes in.

Time to buy me some more expensive shit.

cheap cables have poor insulation and the wiring breaks inside easy. now im not saying fork out $8k for 12m but spend wisely.

I can't find any blue jeans TRS cables on amazon, I prefer to order from there if possible.

a) coming out of headphone jack, that's about as good as you'll need (also didn't know the distance[cba to re-read it]), also, these go straight into speaker, not into another set of cables (take out one connection)

b) didn't realize you bought the other stuff, lolz.

I got a pair of KRK Rokit RP5G2s not too long ago, and need either a DAC or external audio card to use with them. Using a 3.5mm to RCA connector is functional, but whenever I use an AC adapter in my laptop, it screeches out terrible noise and there's really no way around that.
ed@morph: ye, i posted it in the "what tech did you buy today" thread
