I have a 100w HRM BM that Nik built.  I feel the noise floor is a bit high and would like someone to take a look at it (there's a bunch of hum going on with nothing plugged in).  Before I bring it to my regular guy, is there anyone in Northern NJ that has experience with Ceriatone D style circuits? 

I figured I would ask here before I look anywhere else.  Thanks!

I figure I would throw this out there in case no one answers. I'm about an 1 1/2 hours west of Philly, PA. (York, PA)

Not exactly close, but not so far either.

I went to York College (man, those were some good years!)
You're about 3 hrs from me.  Let me see if anyone else is closer- or a road trip is in order.

Wow, small world.

I've lived here my entire life. Not sure if that's something to be proud of or not.  Wink

York's as good a place as anywhere else.

I used to gig at Murph's and the Depot and frequent Campbell's Music (if any of these places still exist- this was damn near 20 years ago). 
I have really fond memories of that period of my life.  York's OK with me Wink

Oh yeah, Campbell's is still here. Robert (the son) and I have been friends since 8th grade. Bought my first guitar there.

I'm not sure about Murph's. I think it may have closed in last few years. Or atleast it's not the party place it was. Wink Was the Depot running when you were here? That's still going pretty strong. I believe anyway.

Yeah, York's OK. Could be worse, I'm sure. It's grown like crazy since I was a kid (47 now) but even in the last 20 years you would probably not recognize some things. The college has added a bunch more buildings in the last 10 years or so.

Any band names I would remember? I wasn't a big 'bar scene' guy, but tried to keep up on the local scene back then.

Nothing you would probably remember, just a bunch of bands of drunken college kids that played at Murphs and the Depot. 
I did know the guys in Alaska, who were a great band.  Jeff G taught guitar at Campbell's and I still hear from Eric S (keys).  I learned alot sitting in with the various tues/wed/thurs night things Eric put together and Jeff was a monster player who you could learn a lot from just watching.

I came out with a degree in psych, but really just played guitar all the time. I heard YCP entrance standards have been raised as well as academic rigor, which is probably for the best.  I got there in 1989, and it was a Rolling Stone top party school in 1988.  There were things that happened that I would not believe if I hadn't seen them myself.  I did have a great time and came out relatively unscathed.

Ah, I went to high school with Eric and Jeff. Jeff was always quite the prodigy, even back in HS.

I think those late eighties YCP times were when the school was getting a good bit of news coverage for certain crazed happenings. (kids falling off balconies, etc.) I might be wrong about the exact time period. Hey, what's a college experience without crazed debauchery. Shocked  http://youtu.be/pX71mALOPKs

And I'm just a few minutes north of Philly, about 10 min from the now defunct Willow Grove Naval Air Base.....
