Quick question - I bought a tape-deck last year to use as an input and yesterday I wired-up a 1/8" jack to it so I don't have to use the wire on the tape adapter. Unfortunately, I still get a high-freq hiss and low-freq rumble when using the 1/8" jack. The hiss is just under speaking volume when I turn the volume of the deck all the way up. It mostly goes away (along with half my treble) when I turn on dolby nr, but I was wondering if people also get this with the auxmod or if anyone knows what it could be from?
When I use the cd player and there is no music, it is dead silent, so it is specific to the tape deck. I get the hiss without the mp3 player plugged into it, so it is coming from the deck. I also removed the pickup for the tape adapter, but that didn't help either - could it be the motor on the deck? If I cut a wire on the motor, would it still detect a tape in the deck...?
I may end up just getting the newer Auxmod, but for now, I'd like to fix what I have...
