| Do you demag or destat your CDs/DVDS? ,If your bike has aluminium frame, you can try to attract magnet there and see what happens. Try to attract CD with magnet and see what happens.07-09-14: CzariveyIs the aluminum frame 100% pure AL or maybe only 99% pure? What about that 1%?And ho... | |
| Ground Loop Video and advice. Solved! The "R" AUX RCA input jack on my C-2200 is bad. The short is inside the barrel somewhere. 06-12-14: 767400I would bet the C-2200 uses RCA jacks that terminate/solder to a circuit board on the back of the unit. Good chance the bad RCA jack ... | |
| Ground Loop Video and advice. A broken, open, signal ground return connection on an IC would be my first guess. Can you check the ends on the ics? | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help Jim (Jea-48) - just curious if you could say more about what/how to do the AM radio experiment. Should I actually tune into a station......or just set it to the very beginning or end of the band? What am I listening for if I set it to the station.... | |
| Whole House Surge Absorber. Kijanki,For the best possible protection the SPD (Surge Protection Device) should be installed in 2 spaces nearest the main breaker or in the case of a main lug only panel the SPD unit should be installed in 2 spaces nearest the panel feed wires t... | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help Mwsl,Do you have an AM/FM radio you could plug into the same mains power receptacle as the Coda amp? If so set the tuner to an AM station and listen for the hum/buzz.If the radio sounds ok then I would think the problem is not AC mains power relat... | |
| Buzz between Marantz SR5008 and Mcintosh C2300 Its a satellite cable btw. The ground is connected to the satellite chassis mounted on the roof. The other end is connected to gang box connected to the house ground.03-25-14: TccauxWell that does make a difference. For one the Jensen ground loop ... | |
| Directional speaker wires, what and why. if you really believe cables sound different depending on which way they are hooked up you are beyond help. geesus lol 03-22-14: DrusstheaxeDrusstheaxe,LOL, you really need to get out more often. . | |
| Buzz between Marantz SR5008 and Mcintosh C2300 Should have mentioned that. Interestingly, the coax is also going through the Furman. I disconnected the coax at the wall and the buzz did not go away. I by-passed the Furman direct to the SR5008 and buzz remained. I'd previously checked the cable... | |
| Buzz between Marantz SR5008 and Mcintosh C2300 Tccaux,Just curious, did you try disconnecting the Cable Company's CATV coax cable from the cable box and see if that stopped the hum? If not all you did was break the ground loop circuit by installing two ground cheaters in the AC mains safety eq... | |
| The sound of my new electrical service: Day 1 Has anyone mentioned conductors, randomly placed in a conduit, will induce voltages in one another(unlike, say- romex conductors, with a ground between them)? Just mentioned that, because the OP said his new lines were underground.03-20-14: Rodman... | |
| The sound of my new electrical service: Day 1 Hifiharv,Did you get a chance to look at the new electrical panel?Manufacture, style, and series? Info should be on the inside of the hinged cover door.Also would like to know if the AHJ, (Authority Having Jurisdiction), in this case the electrica... | |
| The sound of my new electrical service: Day 1 Harv, I see in some of your past posts that you are probably using a pair of vintage Fisher monoblocks. What model would they be? And perhaps a bias readjustment is in order, if the amps have adjustable bias and if my suspicion is correct that a c... | |
| Buzz between Marantz SR5008 and Mcintosh C2300 I might be uncomfortable doing a ground lift but given the Furman configuration, where would you suggest putting the cheater? On the C2300 at the Furman?03-18-14: TccauxFor a test only,.... on the plug of the C2300. Do no install a ground cheater ... | |
| The sound of my new electrical service: Day 1 Some good comments by the others, but the first thing I would do is to get a multimeter and measure the AC line voltage. Perhaps it is significantly higher than it had been, and perhaps your vintage equipment isn't happy with that. Or perhaps for ... |
