distance from amplifier to preamplifier question?


I have a Lamm 2.2 mono hybrid solid state/tube amplifier. The manual says to keep the amplifier at least 3 feet from the preamplifier? Any reason for this? Would that also apply to a cd transport as well?

p.s. by the way has anyone noticed interference of any sort when their treo 650 phone or laptop pc with wireless internet is in the same room as their audio equipment?

Oneobgyn,

I don't think grounding will help if it is EMI/RFI that is the worry. Only adequate sheilding will prevent this and perhaps your ARC has such sheilding. It is this same type of sheilding that one looks for when purchasing a center channel speaker for HT.

For folks like me who still insist on a CRT HDTV it can be quite a problem. I must keep my A/V receiver at least 3 feet from my TV or it effects the action of the photon gun. Only moving the receiver away and de-gaussing remove the effects.
