Weird...and you've probably done what I've tried
too, plugging the powersupply into different outlets. I have not tried plugging
it into a different circuit yet (as many outlets in a venue or your house can be
on the same circuit). Not sure if that would help, though. I think it is a
proximity thing with the powersupply and other audio gear. How about encasing it
in a lead box? :) Anyway, this sort of forces us to use notebook that have
long battery life...not thoe with desktop processores in them (the big, thick
ones), but the mobile units. My wife's Centrino Thinkpad last for 4 hours...not
bad.

I have the same problem running from my Emachine laptop.
Running on power supply? hum/noise.
Running on battery? No hum/noise,
but I have about an hour or so...
However, I also have the same hum
coming from a Gbox shuttle that is my desktop recording solution.
I've
replaced and done everything I can think of except move to a new house.

Well,
with exception of the hum problem I have with my HP nc6000, which
could
be a defective powersupply, both the IBM and HP "commerical" boxes
kick
ass. I have nothing but good things to say about the
Thinkpads....my
wife, who works for Intel, uses one as her work computer
(all Intel
employees use them), but I don't think you could go wrong with
one of the
commerical/business notebooks from HP either. Also, IBM
doesn't make
Thinkpads anymore, they sold that whole product line to
Lenovo. Hopefully
this won't have an impact on their quality in the
future.
Here is question for you all...with all the high performance
standards
required for gaming, would it make sense to find a notebook for
music
applications that has also been proven to be a good choice for
gaming? Aside
from the graphics part, it seems the processor, cache, and
other system
architecture features might be good for music applications
as well...just a
thought.
