my rhodes stage 77 makes a high pitched buzz whenever the moog on top is turned on...turning volume down on the rhodes eliminates the sound...turning off the moog eliminates the sound...any thoughts?

Well, one surefire way to eliminate the buzz would be to send me your moog. Another way would be to try to put some kind of shielding between it and the Rhodes pickups. I don't know much about the innards of a moog, but my guess would be that the electromagnetic radiation from its transformer is being picked up by the Rhodes pickups. Try a layer of thick tin foil under the Moog to see if it provides enough shielding.

thanks for your help.  I have decided the easiest thing to do is to send you the voyager.  It's on the way.
