How to get rid of groud loop noise from dish ?
happy to be of service, per usual... Simply use a clean (no oil residue) wire brush on that coax shield to scrape away the oxidized metal for a better connection. 
Central AC Ruining MY System Sound
You say that the 2nd box is fed from the original panel? Relocate the AC, or the audio rig, so as to be sourced from the first panel, in other words, completely rework the load distribution for better isolation. 
Big Difference With New Source?
so Sean, after all that you didn't even introduce us? What's her name? 
How to get rid of groud loop noise from dish ?
Line level isolation transformers can be found economically at most car audio shops; they have RCA in's & out's. These will isolate the audio shield connections from the hyper-ground noise which you're experiencing.Sometimes though, all you ha... 
how to fix volume/balance on Tandberg 2080
Since you're inexperienced with this, take the component to a service shop & have them spray all the controls with Electrowash, a non-oil based electronics cleaning solvent. Some shops will try to cut corners with tuner cleaner, but that's pro... 
Tuner
try powering off the amp, then disconnect the inputs & power it back on. Check for the RFI; if not present then reconnect the interconnects but now with the Rx powered off.Repeat the test, power the Rx back on. You could also try some differen... 
Cables other than MIT with Spectral
Spectral equipment is very wideband & can easily oscillate ultrasonically (you won't hear this) until the outputs fail. Yes they can tell if you've attempted to operate otherwise & will absolutely not warranty this folly. Transparent is an... 
Suggestion for Amp to 2 ohm loads?
A Perreaux 350 amp or a "load-invarient" Sunfire will handle this requirement quite economically 
Surge protection that won't affect dynamics
Chang Lightspeed 9900 Amp: 30 amp rated current capacity, does not constrain dynamics, contains integral transient protection (oversize metal oxide varistor) & fusing. Four hospital grade outlets, spike feet, optional upgrade (even larger) AC ... 
Audiodharma Cable Cooker anyone share experiences?
Oz very interesting - never occurred to me that coax could be enhanced!Alan I must have had the Dharma confused with DuoTech - that's apparently the one that kills MIT cables. I know he wasn't referring to the Nordost unit, although that might pre... 
Help with Balnced for Pre and Amp Only
Balanced connections won't necessarily be superior, but the only way to determine that is to try it, with a good cable of course.MIT does build one special speaker cable design that is made especially for balanced amplifiers, although I've no expe... 
Has anyone installed Surge Protection at AC panel?
I use a whole house protector from Joslyn Electronic Systems; the Joslyn gas tube discharge primary arrestor is internally fused so it is bridged directly across the incoming primary 120V legs, with a connection to service ground. This is only a p... 
Best Looking components / your vote please
EAD has taken it to another level with their V-cut faces 
Tubes? Transistors? Which are better?
Red: first try upgrading your internal speaker wiring & the crossover too. Refer to the Klipsch site forums & look up the ALK crossover, or email me directly for info. 
How remove oxydation from spades?
A solvent based cleaner just isn't going to cut through that. Use a mild abrasive; toothpaste or an ink eraser will work, but be careful not to remove any plating materials from the spades. Absolutely use a good non-oil based contact cleaner to fo...
