Well I put the Beaver tail all over the inside of the case and it did help. However to much noise from the CPU fan is going out the rear exauhst fan and power supply. 
Anyone have this happen to them?
My house has a humidifier but in the winter it cant always keep the level high enough. If the fire place is buring you can forget about it completely.Another alternative is to spray the carpet with an anti-static spray. You can buy it at the store...

Assuming that the ceramic fuse does make a difference. Placing a ceramic fuse in the amp etc.. the effect would be heard. If you were to use a ceramic fuse at the breaker we can assume the effect would also be heard. Now we add a power conditioner...

I seriously dought that there is a difference but I have not tested this myself, I will though. It is easy enough to make up a box to do hold one of each fuse and wire them in parallel. This way I can change fuses without powering down the system....

Urgent Help: Wire for dedicated lines???
Bob- I did not post any misinformation. Twisting the AC wires did not get rid of noise that was already there that I could see. We did this when I was in school years ago anddid not see a noticable difference. Could this help eliminate further EMI... 
Urgent Help: Wire for dedicated lines???
If you run it through a power conditioner, which all us Audiophiles do...right??, twisting the wire etc..should be a moot point. I also don't see the point in twisting the hot, nuetral and ground together other than to keep them together. This is ...

Carver Amazing Platinum
Thanks, I didn't know that.I received an email fom him the other day stating He sells a kit to bi-wire the speakers and he gave me his number. I left a voice mail for him yesterday to call me.

I have two options before me to bi-wire bi-amp these speakers. 1) Rewire the crossover and add binding posts2) Use an active 2 way crossover between the preamp and the amps.I'm thinking the active is a better way to go since the amp only reproduce... 
Will people buy Snake Oil?
Sorry Hififarm....but I'm gonna spill your secret!Ok guys...The Goo doesn't do anything to the exterior of your ear to make you hear better. This is just smoke and mirrors to lead you down the bunny trail. The real reasonyou place this on your ear... 
Will people buy Snake Oil?
It really should smell nice so the women stay around. The people buying this will be sitting in a dimly lit room anyway so looking funny doesn't matter.A nice touch would be to package the gel in its a battery operated container that warms the gel...
