A quick question?
Thanks guys. All of my interconnects are shielded and I tried a cheater plug on the whole system via my power conditioner. I only hear the hum when I put my ear to the speaker, not at all from my listening position. With every other component turn...

Favorite of Dick s Picks
Definitely No.4. By far the best sounding and a classic Fillmore show. Also No.8 from Harpur College has a great acoustic set. 
Wasatch IC s and Speaker cable opinions
I have a pair of RCA 105's that runs between my preamp and amp. It is an excellent cabe with a very natural tonal balance, good transparency, and it goes lower in the bass than any of my previous cables. A great deal if you can find them used out ...
