| Equi=Core Hum & Other Issues Uber, I plan on having the breaker inspected and replaced. I've had multiple trips in succession. Thanks. | |
| Equi=Core Hum & Other Issues Hi Uber. These problems came out of nowhere. Like the circuit breaker tripping, there’s no way the EquiCore is overloading a 20A circuit. That’s why I think the electrician should have a look first.Of course I'll talk to Wally. | |

| Selling on Audiogon As @grannyring has stated, fees for big ticket items are very costly here. I've had $3000 and $2000 items for sale and don't like being charged based on the asking price since I sold one of the items for much less, but still paid $69 for the listi... | |
| Equi=Core Hum & Other Issues Erik, I do wonder how valid the case for harmonics on the AC line is. I could turn off my fridge for a while since it's an older unit and the compressor kicks on and off frequently. And as you know, everything shares a ground. | |
