Interesting thing happened the other night. I am sitting in the study, silently working on something at the pooter (ok browsing memes) ... we live rural so its very very quiet.. and suddenly I hear a quiet but clear voice speaking German for a few seconds. Goes away. The hairs go up on the back of my neck... think OMG can I smell toast? etc ... it comes in again, and this time I pinpoint it to the speakers. My system is always on, and the last thing I had been listening to was a record. The amp is still on phono channel, and the tuner is on sleeping on standby.
Listen again and it happens a few more times, drifting in and out before I get bored and go to bed. Never heard it before. I am thinking SW or AM radio RFI induced in the phono stage by atmospheric conditions. Freaky huh?
I used to get that through a guitar amp with a particular fx pedal sometimes, I think when the guitar volume was down (maybe shorting signal to earth and creating big aerial loop?) .
