ARC LS 25 Mk 11 Bypass
you would connect the pre-amp left and right outputs of your HT processor to the "Processor" input on LS-25(either single-ended or XLR). After that's done, there is a front panel toggle switch on the 25 to activate the processor loop. I wouldn't w... 
Hum/Buz fro JC1
it could also be that your rca jacks from preamp to amp are not seated all the way in the amplifier input jacks. If you are using locking type rca connectors, then you may want to make sure they're pushed all the way in. Some input jacks make it s... 
Upgrade PCs While Using Pwr Conditioner?
I wouldn't plug the amps into the RGPC. Front end components OK but the amps may not be a good idea. I tried that unit and the amp with it sounded a bit weak on dynamics.If you want some conditioning for the amps, try something that doesn't restri... 
Hum/Buz fro JC1
Do nothing with the cable jack. You may still want to try disconnecting the coax cable at its first entry. If you have a ground loop that causes this humming, you will know it when you take out that cable. Your amp may not be sensitive to this gro...

Tboooe, I haven't tried all the power cords out there, but I've tried several. None of them provided any dramatic improvement over the $6 Volex 17604 cord I am now using. Because of almost no positive sonic change, the price difference between the... 
Hum/Buz fro JC1
is your cable tv near the system? if yes, it may be that you have a ground loop. try disconnecting the coax cable from the cable box and then turn on your system to see if the hum is gone. 
Small monitors good at low listening levels?
Totem Mani-2 Signature is one of the best monitor speakers I ever heard. But they require an amplifier with some guts. 
'nother Nano question
iTunes software sucks. It is one of the most user unfriendly POS programs out there. I think I mastered Adobe Photoshop quicker than the iTunes.In any case, I set the iTunes preference to Manual updates. This way I don't keep all the junk on my PC... 
CD player upgrade/ Arcam vs. Ayre
Eee3, with you ARC gear, why nor go for ARC CD3 MkII? You can then run your entire system fully balanced, which makes a nice difference with ARC gear. Really good player, the CD3 MkII. I don't know about FMJ23, but CD3 MkII is easily better than F...

Transport fails to proceed
