Suggestions for active crossover setup please.
I've been doing a 2.1 system with active crossovers for years.  Others have been dong it since the 80s.  Main issue is that it takes a lot of work and listening to dial it in properly because the active crossover allows so much adjustment - they a... 
Insane ground loop; anybody wanna try?
Here's mine.  It looks the same.  BTW, that trace is not for the ground but for a capacitor.  So I don't think it is an issue.http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?media/20170308_193253.9518/full 
Insane ground loop; anybody wanna try?
Thanks for the update.  When I get a chance, I'll check my Capri to see if it is an issue as well.  But, I don't have any ground hum (except for a little EMF hum from the phono input only at max gain). 
Make a trasnformer hum 101
^^ How about a power conditioner for SMPS and a separate power conditioner for everything else?  :)

One issue then would be - what to do with SMPS, wallwarts or otherwise, that are now prevalent as part of an audio setup. 
Confessions from a VPI owner of some 30 years
Not sure I understand.  You had an issue with your SDS.  It took a while but VPI stepped up to the plate and replaced it with a brand new ADS as the SDS was being discontinued.  The ADS is apparently working fine.  Maybe it is just me but I dont k...

There can be a combination or cumulative effect of issues.

Are you sure it is a ground loop and not EMI/RFI?

SUTs and Resistive Loading Questions
I agree less is more (and thus don’t like using more connections, resistors, etc, than necessary), but this is about trying different loading with a cart/SUT/phono setup to see what sounds best. If the resistors make a difference, then I would mos... 
SUTs and Resistive Loading Questions
Larry, thats what I intend to try. It is easy enough. Lew thanks for describing the other options on the primary side. I will look into it further.As for the need for a SUT, my pre has sufficuent gain for a MC but my experience is that using a SUT... 
SUTs and Resistive Loading Questions
You are correct.  I fixed my prior post before your last response. 
SUTs and Resistive Loading Questions
Al, you are correct. I need to take into account the SUT with a 100 ohms setting on my phono preamp. But if you run the calculations as if loading on the secondary side, doesnt look like I will be able to do it - Id have to increase load, and that...

I'm familiar with the Rothwell site and links.  Thanks.In a prior setup, I did notice a difference between 100 versus 200 or 470 ohms.Cart is Dyna 20x2L.
