APC Line R 1250, Is it Hazardous?
Dekay, I don't think a square wave fed into your audio equipment's power suppy would damage anything but I can think of an other reason or two why this would be a less than desireable thing to do. As a matter of fact I have seen the sinewave comin... 
Passive Bi-Amping of Stereo Amps
I am not totally sure but I think all you will get is smoke if you try what you propose. Good luck. 
Melos SHA Gold Vs. Audible Illusions L1.
Melos is out of business and alot of their parts and non-completed amps and preamps have been put for sale on E-bay by a liquidator.

Silver or copper cables?
Gents, I think this is being overcomplicated. For cables, silver would be a better choice simply because it has less resistance. This winds up to be a simple cost issue. Copper is an excellent conductor and less expensive while silver is a better ... 
Is copper different?

Have a look at the Odyssey Stratos. TAS liked the amp and quite a few members here own and love the amp. Odyssey is currently running a special for $600 plus shipping per amp. If you order 2 they will convert them to monoblocks for free. Wow! 300 ...

transformer Hum
Flying, Sndsel has hit it on the head! It is simply loose core laminations in your power transformer. This is a very common problem so don't feel alone. Placing sorbathane pads under the transformer will most likely do the trick. Your problem has ... 
RF Induced Humming??
First, lets get one thing straight! There is no such thing as RF induced Hum. You have pretty much proved yourself that you have a ground loop problem. If I were to phatom a guess, your cable box and modem have two prong plugs and ground is being ... 
Get rid of excessive low bass
Elizabeth, cutting down on the guage of your power cord will definetly thin your bass but will also increase the chance of having a fire in your home. It is not very wise to recommend a tweek of this nature. This is a very dangerous thing to try a... 
Serious Power Problems with my HPA2
Try one last thing before you box up your amp and send it away. Jctubes has a valid point about neutral and ground being swapped. I understand your electrician had a look, but nobody is totally infallable. Lord knows there have been a hundred or s...
