CDDrive,
The suggestion worked! NO more hum that permeated the entire sound. Putting caps before input of 7805 and after output of 7805 worked (although my cap on the output node is huge, 270uf). Still works though.

I see what you mean about the control pins, OK cool.

The 7805 will loose Vreg response time with a cap that large. :eek: Like I said.. a 10μF is about right and is also recommended in the data sheets.
