| 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?

| 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 ... | |
| Buzz between Marantz SR5008 and Mcintosh C2300 Cable TV?For a test disconnect the CATV coax cable from the CATV cable box then check for the buzz. Post back your findings.. | |
| The sound of my new electrical service: Day 1 and new breaker box with all new breakers.Manufacture? Style number?Breakers, AFCI?

| how to fix ground loop him? DVR, Cable TV.The easiest place to start is to temporarily disconnect the CATV Coax cable from the DVR. If that stops the hum that means a difference of potential, voltage, exists between the CATV provider's shield of the coax cable and the safety... | |
| Power Strips - Wiremold vs.Hammond vs BPT PPC I’m upgrading the power strip and outlet for my system. FYI, my system consists of Audio Research CD-7, Ayre K-1XE pre amp and Pass Labs XA30.5 power amp. R0817R0817,With your audio equipment, jmho, not the Wiremold L10320 or the Hammond H1584H.Th... | |
| Bizarre buzz The strangest thing is- you can only hear it with the amps and the whole system OFF, cold.If the system is playing for some time, and then turned off- there is no buzz.The transformer is energized whenever the amp is connected to AC power. Turning... | |
| How much clearance do I need to cool tube amp? I'm thinking of putting my ARC VT 100iii in a rack, which would leave about three inches clearance above. It runs pretty warm. Any thoughts or experience about whether that would allow sufficient cooling?3" seems pretty close to me even with a fan... | |
| Would a power conditioner stop a 60 cycle hum ? ...thanks everyone but what the hell is a Hum X from Ebtech. The system is on a seperate circuit that my cable TV, I worked with an electrician who moved the ground wire of the cable to a difeerent part of the circuit box......did not work. 01-18-... | |
| Would a power conditioner stop a 60 cycle hum ? Garebear,I assume all your audio equipment is plugged into one duplex receptacle or maybe 2 duplex receptacles but both are fed from the same branch circuit breaker. Correct?Do you have a CATV box receiver connected to the audio system? If yes tha... | |
| When the Electric Company Owes You a Favor? I would ask for a underground service from the pole to the house ... your current over head feed is an aluminum cable because it is light in weight and can be suspended ... the under ground line is a heavy copper line and much bigger gauge 01-08-1... |
