Pathos One MK II Integrated amp.

I would say your first impression was correct, even though the additional image you submitted is impossible to view clearly. Single coil pickups are particularly vulnerable to 60 Hz EMI (50 Hz in some parts of the world) from AC power lines, and depending on the values and lengths of connecting wires can be surprisingly good antennas for broadcast radio stations or CB transmissions 8^0. This is managed with proper shielding around the electronics cavity in the guitar body, and sometimes, particularly in North America, by connecting the the ground side of the audio circuit to the bridge, which then connects the ground to the strings and then the human body through the hands, allowing it to act as an impedance sink. Best practice has all wires carrying audio signal surrounded by a mesh shield connected to a common point audio ground.

I can't see this question answered anywhere. There is information for fixing hums on bother the Mk I and Mk II models of the Akai 4000DS here:

Go to radio shack explain to clerk what you need ,they should stock the 240v, 60 hz capacitor once obtaine you must solder the cap in good luck

You'll need to use the "Run As Administrator" feature
-Click the start button in the lower left corner and then click Computer on the right side near the middle. -Find the E drive CD or DVD and double-click. -Right click on USB 2.0 PC Camera (60 Hz)_091120.exe and choose "Run As Administrator"

you have a ground loop issue you could purchase a ground loop isolator, jensen makes them for about 40 bucks.I have discovered that if you have cable tv, unplug the incoming cable in your cable box and see if hum disappears.

No just the cartridge perhaps! First disconect the wires to the cartridge. With the amp on. Touch the end of the wires one at a time (don't worry you won't get a shock). On two of the wires you should hear a hum on each channel (one for left one for right). The left channel should hum. If it doesn't it's not the cartridge, but either a faulty lead or the left phono pre-amp is faulty on your amp. Test the amp by putting the right in the left channel.
If the left hums the cartridge is faulty.

Rita's Vintage Audio Repair is a Bob Carver Company & can repairs & updates Subs at a reasonable cost try calling them.

HELLO AND NO YOUR AMP SUPPLY IS'NT THE RIGHT AMOUNT YOUR CORD ONLY SUPPLIES 2.5 AND YOUR T.V. CALLS FOR 5.2 IT'LL RUN YOUR T.V. BUT THE REASON IT WONT WORK IS BECAUSE YOUR T.V. WILL PULL 5.2 AMPS AND YOUR CORD IS ONLY RATED FOR 2.5 IN TIME THE CORD WILL BURN OUT OR GET HOT AND CAUSE A POSSABLE FIRE.

I had this issue a few years ago and the power cable from one of the inner terminals had come loose. It was still touching but whenever the sub would really pound it would jump off the connection and then reconnect causing it to hum. It was the most annoying thing ever so I finally pulled off the amp plate (super easy) and you could clearly see the loose wire. I had to use a good soldering iron to put it back on since it's a pretty fat wire. If you're not under warranty anymore then pop the back off and see if that's the issue.

you must change light switch now with a new one-and grounding is very very important.
