I do so apreciate all of your help with regard to this issue. It certainly seems to be a grounding issue of some sort. I took problem Rel upstairs to my bedroom surround system,3rd system in the house, hooked it up to my Lexicon surround receiver and it works great, no issues. The Lexicon does however maintain balanced in and outs but not true balanced and all the Pass amps I have are of course true differential balanced. I have ruled out an issue with the X350.5 or the Rel and determine the issue a grounding problem. Funny, the Pass XA160's have no problem with either Stadium III. All you guys are great and have important info. In a nutshell, the problem is a surge protector I use for all the Active Sheilding MPC's as I us all Synergistic Research Precision Reference speaker cable and balanced interconnects. I removed the MPC's from the surge protector (6 total) and nothing. I then removed the naked surge protector from the outlet it was sharing with the Rel and guess what, all is normal, no humm, or loss of signal. WOW! Thank you for all your help Agoner's, you are the best friends an Audiophile could have!!!
