Great replies @tkhill ​​​​@strawj! I used the opportunity when I relocated a few things when I introduced the McIntosh to clean and dust-another great call on this thread! You guys truly are awesome! And my Hum-X will arrive Thursday so tomorrow I...

Thank you @willgolf! Just read your reply went right to Amazon and ordered it! So you mentioned you used this on your amps, but I know my issue is my preamp. What I’m going to do is either plug the McIntosh into the Hum-X and then plug the Hum-X i...

Regardless very insightful and I sincerely appreciate all of your advice/support-so thanks man👍

Thank you so much for providing this video @fredrik222. This is referencing the power amps from McIntosh/Trinnov though? Does it stand to reason the preamps share the same issues/characteristics?  
Low buzzing through speaks
Hello All,   So I cleaned up "the nest" (still getting a kick out of that one @jackd) this morning as best I could and removed the Audioengine B1 (great call and thank you @plumptonvinyl I had my suspicions on that one as well) and reconnected a...

Thank you @jackd! I’m going to try that tomorrow AM, and also try unplugging the IC’s from the Titan as @imhififan suggested. I’m really hoping it’s “the nest”😂 which it truly is great call on that one😂!   I have a Shunyata Alpha 20 amp power ca...

Thanks @imhififan It is more than 15 years old but I sent it to Simaudio for “calibration and cleanup” last year and she came back squeaky clean. They actually said she was in better shape than most-though they said they don’t see many of them bec...

Thank you @russ69, but how as they are coax? I don’t have a way to connect it between amp and preamp?

I’ve talked to the folks at Crutchfield and Emotiva and they basically said if it’s that low and you can’t hear it from the listening position to just live with it as it’s not something worth going crazy over. You really have to put your ear withi...

Thanks @ianrmack  for replying. My home is older, built in 1974. But that buzz was not there previously. I checked out the Emotiva piece, but how would I integrate that with the Furman Elite? I have 2 powered subs, my preamp, my DAC, cd player, ca... 
What’s Voodoo power cords signature sounding?
I have actually owned several Voodoo cables. They seem well made and I think their Black Magic power cord is an absolute steal at its’ price point. I found them to have more of an almost darker sound in my system. I was using their Essence XLR IC’... 
Best vibration isolation for speakers on carpet?
Hi again All,   Appreciate ALL your thoughtful and supportive replies! Thank you!   So I ended up ordering 8 of the Herbie's Threaded Stud Gliders. Much as I would have gone for some of your other suggestions, cost was a very big factor and th... 
Best vibration isolation for speakers on carpet?
Hi All,   First off thank you all so very much for all the great replies! Sounds like the Townshend Podiums would be the way to go. Unfortunately I can't afford the cost otherwise I'd do it :(. In addition to the 208's I also bought the 208C and... 
Coax or RCA question?
Thank you @ghdprentice! That was my thought as well but Integra is the higher end of Onkyo. So I wanted to get some opinions/advice from the experts here. The problem is I truly have to turn into a contortionist to make any tweaks in behind my rig... 
U.P.S
So sorry to hear this man. I used to work at UPS 100 years ago and if you ever saw what packages go through BEFORE they even make it to the delivery trucks you’d be horrified! They just try and push through as much volume as possible in as little ...
