| Audio Research VT100MKII power switch stuck on @donvito101, The OP would end having the same results as when he tried plugging the amp directly into the wall outlet. | |
| Audio Research VT100MKII power switch stuck on @sgonzalez33,I agree let a qualified tech fix it. | |
| Audio Research VT100MKII power switch stuck on There is a relay RY1 contact that is in parallel with the power ON/Off switch contact. It appears the amp has a soft start up circuit. The main ON/OFF switch contact is in series with a 5 ohm resistor that helps limit start up inrush current. | |
| DAC drops out when Furnace starts or stops. HELP Follow up to this thread.I later contacted the OP, through the Agon message system, with a question about the problem he had with drop outs. I asked him if he was still using the same 1.5M Grover Huffman digital cable. He responded no he had bough... | |
| AR ES-1 Transport Bolt Needed Will you be shipping the TT?If so, in case you do not know, extreme care needs to be taken when packing the TT for shipping. The platter and sub platter are heavy and must be removed from the TT and packed separately inside the shipping box. They ... | |

| Hum problem BTW, RFI was most likely from powered wireless connection to internet for my music server Did you kill that thing when you were isolating things to find out what might be causing the hum? Has this amp always had the hum issue? If not, can you thi... | |
| Hum problem @swampwalker,By chance did you unplug all the other associated audio equipment from the wall AC power outlet? Audio equipment near the amp as well as the speakers?By the way the reason you hear a loud buzz from the amp/speakers with the shorting p... | |

| A New Ground -- Benefits of introducing the Synergistic Research Active Ground Block SE @ folkfreak,Thanks for the response. I might be wrong but I think the "active components inside" the box are mostly responsible for the reason why the thing improves the SQ of an audio system, not the AC mains safety equipment ground.I have to wo... | |
| Hum problem At this point all I can suggest in addition to what you are planning to do is to reiterate the suggestion of seeing if the hum is present with nothing connected to the amp’s inputs, if you haven’t already done so. Or better yet, with shorting plu... | |
| Hum problem My technician has been all through it and does not find a problem. Says he cannot hear it in his system, but it's quite apparent on my Horning speakers (94 dB maybe?). See if you can hire the technician for an hour or so to come to your home... | |
| A better lamp cord for my stereo equipment? Local audio repair guy wouldn't touch it. Now I know why. Or possibly he didn't have the confidence in installing the IEC power inlet. What if in the process of cutting the hole for the IEC inlet he screwed something up? How many "repair guys" c... | |
