My torchiere lamp makes my speakers buzz

It makes them buzz when it's on its dim setting, but when I turn it up to bright it doesn't cause buzzing.

This happens on any outlet in the whole place. Can I do anything to get rid of the buzz on the dim setting? The bright setting is really bright.

It's the rheostat on the dimmer. Probably try a new lamp.

Yeah, it's old (I 'inherited' it from my dad). I was only planning on using it for a few weeks. Am I damaging anything by making my speakers buzz?

isolation transformer?

Cheap rheostat. Probably no damage. Try putting it on a different circuit.

are you talking about pc speakers? i'm not too knowledgeable but ive read suggestions about getting better cabling that offers more shielding. of course a new lamp would probably be the easiest thing to do.
