| Nice Warm AC cord for a PLC Fpeel, I'm with you up through paragraph 5 of your last post and hdm, $25 DIY sounds reasonable to me. If you read again my original post I have no problem spending about $50 or so on a good power cord and AC connectors. I would also assert that e... | |
| Nice Warm AC cord for a PLC Mapleleaf, what bothers me about the whole AC power cord debate is why someone would spend hundreds of dollars on a colorful fat cord when most homes have standard cheap wiring behind the AC outlet. The power cord carries 60-cycle AC current to th... | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" Sean, while I respect what you are telling us and I cannot judge what you claim to be hearing, I still stand by my original point about cables in general. With regard to AC power cords, if your new equipment introduced hum into your system that va... | |

| Amplifier Hum, and placement. I once owned an older Classe DR-10 amp that had slight transformer hum. It was annoying between CD tracks but not loud enough to interfere while the music was playing. I sold the amp cheap and all of my recent gear has been "clean" with no transfo... | |
| Perpetual Tech. upsampler does it work? I tried my friend's P-3A but thought it was rather bright and lacking in midrange. I didn't like the upsampler. I bought the MSB Gold Link DAC III instead and for my own personal taste, I like it much better with or without the MSB upsampler secti... | |
| Tips on finding "hum" problems On a very practical note from personal experience... I had a hum problem whenever I attached the cable tv coax cable to the system. If I removed the cable tv connection, the hum was gone. I was able to eliminate the problem by wrapping bare copper... |
