[sdiy] spring reverb & hum

[Jay Schwichtenberg]

There are various materials to isolate things from magnetic influences. Most
of the ones I've seen are not cheap. It's usually cheaper and easier to just
move things away from transformers. Also computer monitors and TVs are
really bad sources of interference. Ever tried to play a electric guitar in
front of a monitor? It's AC city. Makes you wonder about all the EMI we get
bombarded with.

Good luck.
Jay
