Ground Cheater plug or....
Yes all devices you have are grounded, some are chassis grounds (2 prong devices) and some externally(3 prong). The problem is that these grounds are just different enough to create a small current flow when they are on the same circuit and that i... 
Ground Cheater plug or....
I had the same problem. Cause was the fact that one of my amps uses a grounded plug, the other not and they live on the same circuit, unfortunately. You may want to look to see if you have a similar situation. Two and 3 prong devices on the same c... 
Chasing 60 hz hum
Guess I stimulated some good discussion here. Thanks to all for chipping in. 
Chasing 60 hz hum
Will study all these suggestions. Many thanks! I was getting the hum (just realized) with TV input selected only and will look at maybe a missing ground where the coax comes into the house. 
Cabling to FM Antenna
Thanks all! Cylinderking and Eldartford - I am probably stuck going 75 ohm since the antenna mounted part of the amp is 75 ohm in and out. The conduit is a 1", I think (probably the OD measure) and has several tight 90 degree turns with removable ... 
Problem copying a CD

Pro Logic vs. Dolby Digital, DTS etc
Swampwalker - The Mac does not have 6 inputs. Would have to buy a processor, where I understand (from Mac) that I will lose a number of front panel functions. Could maybe trade for a C-39-6, but would still need a high quality processor, then one ... 
Pro Logic vs. Dolby Digital, DTS etc
Nbt makes a good point, but since I have older C39 (not a 39-6) I understand I would lose some front panel functions using MAC3 or MVS-3. Know anything about the MX 132. Gobs of $, but if I unloaded the C39 and the Accuphase T109 Tuner maybe I cou...
