Ground loop when connecting coax to cable box.....
I had the exact problem, call your cable company, their line isn't grounded correctly in their splitter, they should be able to easily fix it. Don't waste your time with anything else until they check their connections. 
anthem D2
The D2 is a solid pre/pro and one that is easy and reasonable to upgrade through Anthem. The latest D2v does all the new codecs and has dual active HDMI outputs with 8:2 HDMI switching. 
Baby name opinion....
I would think long and hard about naming a child that, especially in a world ever moving towards multichannel!Seriously, it would make a good pet name, but for a person? Especially a girl? I wouldn't go there.Now, I do have a puppy named 'Bean' wh... 
Anyone using battery backup
Jtwrace,If you aren't using one for you computer, buy one immediately! I use the biggest APC I thought was reasonable, it also covers my cable feed as well.A solid line protector with backup is also a good idea for your audio, but they are much di... 
Anyone using battery backup
All my sources and display in my main rig run off a PurePower regenerator with battery backup. Living in Florida it is a must as our power is horrible. 
Watt Puppy that much of an improvement?
You have the order all wrong!Go find some to listen to FIRST, if you like them and they seem to be an upgrade to your liking, THEN look into buying them....... 
EMM Labs DAC 2 presentation
I'm curious what you guys have the EMM Labs DAC2 paired with.Right now I am running it through a Krell Evo 707 and Evo 403 and the bass is very tight and punchy and I would never call the sound I have from the TSD1/DAC2 analytical, quite the contr... 
Best CD
Gino D'Aurio Flamenco Passion on XRCD24. Best guitar disc I have ever found. 
My wife had an epiphany - I'm off the hook
I am one of the luckiest guys here!My wife lets me do anything I want when it comes to the systems! She hasn't even bat an eye at the Krell Evo 403 sitting in front of the TV yet now going on three months! Once I figure out how I want to redo the ... 
Esoteric DV-50 or Meridian G-08.2 CD Player??
I can help a little, maybe!I have lived with the DV-50s since new (I actually paid to upgrade it to 's' status which was wasted money now but that's another story) and for a long time ran it and a G98DH through a Meridian 861v4, in this setup the ... 
Mulitple amps for 7.1???
You can, how it blends will depend on the amps used. Since both are from the same maker, it should work, but I have had issues doing this as different amps even from the same maker can respond differently at different levels.You also realize you w... 
Fedex minimum insurance for special handling
Commcast,I truly think it depends on the weight of the product shipped.I can't see how a three, or even 6 foot fall will likely damage a well packed CD player weighing 5-10 pounds tops, but a 135 pound amplifier will certainly exert more damage to... 
Fedex minimum insurance for special handling
Funny, FedEx just bounced a 135# amp box I just sent and didn't ask me anything, it was declared for $5,500.Fortunately it was double boxed in factory packaging and made it safely.I find as a general rulle, the heavier something is the more likely... 
Sound for my new theater?
I think the Linn 5140 is a great speaker (I owned two pairs active with 5105's powering them and a 5120 center, also active) but they do not output the volume needed for larger rooms,especially for HT. They were great in my condo, but not enough f... 
Who's your guitar daddy now?
Out of all these responses no one mentioned Roy Buchanan?I saw him warm up for Robin Trower @ the Capital theater in Passaic NJ in the mid 80's and he blew Trower off the stage! It was the best guitar show I have ever seen and likely ever will.
