Does the quality of a digital signal matter?
I believe he said that it's possible to show that a more expensive digital cable is better than another, but the end product doesn't change.There was a test done with HDMI cables that tested cables of different prices. The only difference in pictu...

Hum problem
It is the cable tv line that cause the hum not cable box. Will the isolator fix this? thanks again.If you disconnect the incoming CATV coax cable from the TV and the hum stops, then yes the isolator will stop the ground loop hum.

Why is a 1.5-2 volt AC signal on my Neutral line?
UPDATE: turns out NAIM only ties the neutral side to the ground in their source components - not at the amp.07-07-10: Williewonka Williewonka, ?? Your use of the word neutral is confusing....From reading your posts I believe you use the word neutr... 
Why is a 1.5-2 volt AC signal on my Neutral line?
Blindjim,A difference of potential, voltage, measured at an electrical outlet measured from the neutral to the equipment grounding conductor can be the result of VD, voltage drop, on the loaded neutral conductor. If the resistance of the equipment... 
Why is a 1.5-2 volt AC signal on my Neutral line?
After a lot of investigation I found that some units have a 1.5-2.0 volt AC signal (sounds like a 60Hz signal i.e. hum) between the neutral side of the interconnect and the earth at the power bar. Williewonka 06-24-10:between the neutral side of t... 
Why is a 1.5-2 volt AC signal on my Neutral line?
I just purchased a NAIM integrated amp and I am experiencing a hum but only from the DVD player.DVD player connected to a TV?TV connected to CATV?Disconnect the incoming CATV coax from the CATV box then check for hum.If no hum..... Buy a Jensen IS... 
speaker ground hum
Raybo76,Assuming the hum you are hearing from the speakers is due to a ground loop you need to start from each amp and build out to the source/s. Start with only one amp connected to the preamp. (Unplug all other ics from the preamp's inputs as we... 
Why three motors?
This is typical german engineering. If one motor fails you still have instant replacement on hand.....06-07-10: DertonarmDertonarm,Drag of the dead motor would have to be made up by the other two motors. Hiho,Did you find any manufacture literatur...

Fast/Slow fuse?
I guess using a fast acting fuse instead of a slow blow fuse may burn the fuse faster, but may not affect other electronic components. Am I right?Ihcho If the fuse is for a power amp it may not hold when the amp is first turned on. The initial inr... 
What exactly does "Hospital Grade" mean?
QuoteChapter 4 of NFPA 99 (2005 edition) addresses the electrical systems in health care facilities. It requires the electrical installation to be in accordance with NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (4.3.2.1). Following are some of the commonly r...
