Or, it could be a ground loop problem. I haven't tried the Duncan Magmic, but I do have a Fishman Rare Earth Blend (magnetic soundhole pickup with a small condenser mic on a gooseneck). It's a stacked humbucker with an onboard preamp. The preamp really helps kill any hum... it's extremely quiet, even when recording near a computer monitor or other RF sources. The "Pick up the World" company and the Lace pickup company have jointly developed a new "NT" pickup system. This uses a very small magnetic pickup mounted at the end of the fingerboard, along with various other options for undersaddle or soundboard mounting. The system can be run in blended mono or stereo output modes. You might want to look into this too. I haven't heard it yet, but it's supposedly a very quiet and RF-rejecting design. Mike Barrs
