| Krell KAS amplifier hum Al, thank you for such a lengthy explanation. I plugged EVERYTHING as before, with one exception, there is a "ground cheater " between the pre and power distributor. The hum is 50% less than first posted.I tried both amps on the same outlet - no ... | |
| Krell KAS amplifier hum Update - the pre is plugged into a common 15A outlet; the amps are plugged into a dedicated 20A outlet and ALL else is unplugged. I still hear the same amount of hum.I installed a "cheater plug" between the pre and wall outlet, I hear less hum t... | |
| Krell KAS amplifier hum @jea48 - the cable line plug is a wall-wart and does not have a ground pin. It is not tied (a part of) the sound system. I'm not sure when i first heard it...you see, I'm alternating amplifiers (also use ML 33H) and did not pay it much attentio... | |
| Krell KAS amplifier hum Thank you all for taking the time. After my first failed attempt last night, I decided to plug all "in" and listen to music instead :-)Tonight, I will try what has been recommended. Something else I forgot to mention; I have a cable line and box... | |
| Krell KAS amplifier hum All was unplugged from the back of the pre, I still have "hum".I ran a ground wire from the pre power cord (plugged into the back of the power distributor) to the ground of wall outlet the power distributor is plugged into; the hum remains...??Man... | |
| Krell KAS amplifier hum Update, I unplugged the 6m long XLR from each amp. Then, I powered on both amps. There was no hum at all. @jea48 All instruments are plugged into a Silver Circle audio, "pure power one 5.0, which is plugged into an existing outlet. Pre = ARC Re... | |
| Krell KAS amplifier hum @ - three-easy-paymentsI believe the hum IS being created by my amps. I am hoping there is a solution available. The hum is only audible when the music is not playing, even at low levels.Thank you,Jose | |
| Krell KAS amplifier hum MBL 111f speakers are not powered. The hum i am hearing is coming out of the speakers once i power on the amplifiers. Therefore, it is the wall outlets or amplifiers that are generating/transferring the hum into the speakers. Can someone recomm... | |
| Pre-amplifier suggestions I'm trying to keep costs below $15K (pre-owned). I was quite happy with the ARC Ref 3, until it was paired with the ML 33H. And so it goes on...Best,Jose | |
| Pre-amplifier suggestions Thank you both for the suggestions. I have reached out to Benchmark and may try one out. I am also going to audition an ARC Ref 6. I own a single-ended CAT SL-1, I need to purchase RCA to XLR adapters in order to use it, as I don't have long R... | |
| Why pay so much? let me get this straight; I work and therefore earn my income and don't have the intelligence, wherewithal to purchase whatever it is I want, audio or otherwise? Some would argue, a "zip cord" used for audio (speaker cables) would be a waste. | |
| Recommend speakers for a large living room Several here have suggested MBL, I concur. I will add, propper amplification IS required. I power mine with an ML 33H amp. someone else has suggested Dunlavy. I have these as well and highly recommend them. MBL can be enjoyed by many as the l... | |
| Active isolation; what can it do for music reproduction? Mike,Thank you for taking the time. Much has been stated in regards to trial and error. I for one value a "narrow answer" from an individual who has experience and first-hand knowledge. Best,Jose | |
| Active isolation; what can it do for music reproduction? @mikelavigne - what other devices have you used to good effect? what would you recomend? For some, the "tables" you are using are cost-prohibitive. respectfully,Jose | |
| I'm not even quite sure how to phrase my question, but here it goes... @61falcon - thank you for asking; I always wondered the same, however, I didn't want to ask... Thank you all who commented/made sense of it.Best,Jose |
