My minor intermittent hum has come back to my BB3.
I removed all of the internal ferrites, as they looked messy and it has made no difference - the hum got no worse.
One thing I did notice while I was in there was that there was a small white spot under one of the power capacitors on the bottom of the case.
As a precaution I have ordered some new Nichicon capacitors. I also took the opportunity to order a few sheets of Silent Coat 2mm damping sheet to use on the CD player, Phono Stage and amplifier.
I would probably put a bit in the Pre 90, if I could work out how to get the case apart.

Anywhere I've used it its noticably improved sound, even in amps and other non-moving part gear.
Its well worth using and works great.
Tthe 4mm stuff is even more effective.
Ok with not having it on Betamax nowadays

Probably worth trying in anything as even DACs are subject to vibration and I think SS amps benefit too. I use it particularly well in my Croft amps which have thin metal cases and lots of rattle glass bottles!

Great sounding biscuit tins tho!
Worked well in both my Dac and Preamp, as well as when modding a couple of disc spinners.
Interested to hear how Kevin gets on with his.

It won't be going in the pre-amp.
I can't get the case off. It most have hidden screws under the feet.
CD player, Phono Stage and amp will be done. I bought three sheets (to the wind?).
The phono stage and CD will get the most attention.

I'm wondering if this Silent Coat might help me...
There is a small amount of mechanical buzz comes from my Musical Fidelity A5 integrated (only audible when close to it, the buzz only comes from the unit, doesn't come from the speakers, and does not increase with volume). It's a common thing with these amps, where users suggest it may be a consequence of varying voltages.
Maybe Silent Coat could deaden the sound to some degree, what do you think?
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in
T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
Speakers: KEF Reference 3, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables
T'other system:
Echo Dot, Arcam A75 integrated, Monitor Audio R852 MD speakers
A/V:
LG OLED65 G56LS, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL T9i sub.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
