I did a little quick research and it appears that CD players use photon lasers. Photons have no charge and therefore would not be effected by a magnetic field.Can someone explain what the mechanism is for magnetic ink to influence the playback of ...

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 ...

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...
