Those are super high output humbuckers if each coil measured 8k each. A standard PAF runs around 7-8k for BOTH coils. Unless you measured it wrongly of course.
The differences in resistance readings you saw will barely make a difference in hum cancelling ability. Could you check as well if the ground wire is connected to either the HB cover or the baseplate? If disconnected, you're effectively removing the pickup's shielding.
I still am not convinced that magnets are the cause of the noise here. Unless you swap out the actual magnets in the pickup in question and find that there is indeed a difference, I won't hold my breath.

Meron po connection sa base plate yung ground. The buzz/hum becomes audible with gain engaged, pag clean po wala naman pong hum na maririnig or kung meron man very very very minimal. I think kung wala pong ground magiging obvious yung hum even sa clean channel.
About naman po sa symmetry, nabasa ko lang rin po sa ibang forums. According sa kanila, ang humbucker is two coils wound out of phase to cancel the noise. Kung unbalanced yung coils sa humbucker meaning hindi perfect yung cancellation ng noise therefore may mga noises na makakalusot sa signal. Pero yun na nga I should eliminate this theory kasi balanced winding yung mga pickups ko pero it still buzz/hum with medium to high gain.
Sa pagmeasure naman po I'm pretty sure its correct basing sa figures ng Dimarzio.com yung At-1 is 16.50K sa website and yung reading ko po total is 16.59K which is pretty close (there is still +/- consideration).
My Fender Noiseless Single Coil Pickups read 10K.
Based na rin sa natanungan ko and na try ko na guitars with humbucker, I think normal yung may na-aadd na noise when GAIN is engaged and yung pinakatahimik na natry ko is Dimarzio EVO which happens to have Ceramic Magnets. And yung Dimarzio EVO adds no buzz/hum kahit na on pa lahat ng gain pedals ko.
I'm trying to look for a humbucker that is as quiet as my Fender Noiseless single coil but has a PAF like sound (Vintage not too aggresive). Yung EVO kasi is too harsh for me considering I have single coils on neck and middle.
That's why I ordered Seymour Duncan Custom Trembucker TB-5, according sa description nila its a PAF design with medium output(14k) but has Ceramic Magnets. Pero matagal pa darating pero I will update kung noiseless nga ba ang Ceramic or mali nanaman ako sa theory ko. Hehe
Salamat nga po pala sa mga sumasagot.
Any Experience po sa mga said pickups? Or baka meron pong forumites natin ang nakatry magcompare sa Alnico Vs Ceramic. Salamat
