Wow! Thanks for all the suggestions! I ought my Audio Research a few months ago from eBay and never had any issue with it. Just got the BAT 6200 from Audiogon yesterday and hooked everything last night. I did find one problem, though. One of the speaker fuse is broken. I am not sure if this cause all the trouble. I have a pair of Carver ALIII for over 20 years. It has two fuses each speaker. One for the base, one of ribbon. I did use one of my other pre-amp with BAT amp, I still found the sound went up an down some how. However, after I only hook up the speaker without the broken fuse, the weavy sound is gone. Very strange. Anyway, I will go to Homedepot to ge the fuse and and see this if this problem goes away after replace the new fuse. Ting
