[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 26040, member: 24"] Re: One of those nights Maybe I am fundamentally an optimist, and I don't think I have a monopoly on what I know how to do. The funny thing is that going was really a last minute decision. I was originally going to be traveling to either Asheville, or Nashville, but neither panned out. On Tuesday I sent an email to the promoter asking who the provider was, figuring I know most of the people in the area who would be handling this type of show and thinking I might be able to help out. The email message I got back had a providers name I had never heard of, so I never followed up. This weekend, I am heading to a 2 night stand in a hotel with the worst power I have ever encountered. The core of the hotel where the lounge is a pre civl war mansion that over the years has been a private home and a woman's college as well as a hotel. Who knows what is in some of the wiring behind the walls. They have been trying to fix a hum problem in their small system for over 6 months (since it was originally installed). They don't have enough channels so I will be setting up my smallest system. The last time I was there I was able to reduce the hum in my system to a barely noticable background hiss, but I was never able to completely eliminate it. It was weird because the system was dead silent until you plugged in any mics, that would start the hiss. No place I could lift a ground totally eliminated it, including at the one wall outlet were I was pulling all the juice. I also tried at least 6 different circuits.
