3 preamps with transformer hum, DC on the line?
one other thing you can try (which costs money, of course!) is to use a AC power regenerator (like one of thos PS Audio units P300, P600, P1200 or Power Plant Premier) or from PurePower.The AC power from your wall will be used to power the electro...

Educate me please
saki70 ... you must have skipped class the day we discussed the 3 most common failures a CD player can experience ha, ha, ha, ha!! LOL, indeed! I see, Dave, that you are back (from the Depths of Mordor). BTW, I still have those ESP Essence power c... 
Ultrasonic Oscillation
Ultrasonic oscillation is basically a parasitic oscillation that would render the circuit (whether preamp or power amp) unstable &/or non-linear. 'Ulrasonic' would imply that the oscillation frequency is very high (compared to the audio signal... 
Wadia 171i iPod Dock having too much Base?
03-28-12: TamarasuHiIf you change the volume on your iPod, does it change the volume on your system? Mine does not? yes, in my system it does when using my iPod Classic 160GB. When I use my iPhone4 in the same dock (an Onkyo ND-S1) I get the messa...

03-20-12: NgjockeyThis is why I don't turn the lights off. Don't want the electricity to build up in the wire like water behind a dam.:)LOL!! sheesh! don't confuse Manitunc any more...... 
When Bi-amping is there change in sensitivity
A correction: in the Wikipedia x-over plot, the y-axis is dB Gain (i.e. voltage), so the 2 rad/sec point is -12dB or 1/4th the ampltude at 0 rad/sec.All-the-same the point remains unchanged - freq above the x-over cause generation of very small am... 
When Bi-amping is there change in sensitivity
The preamp is feeding the full frequency range to the amplifier, which is amplifying that full frequency range and feeding it to a speaker's woofer, for instance. What happens to the part that is above that woofer's frequency cut off range.Manitun...
