Get your system nicely warmed up. Listen to your favorite music. Go to your panel, flip off as many circuit breaker... | |
| Whats a good economical way to test the electricity on a circuit? Relax. The one thing we know for sure is its noisy, dirty, whatever you want to call it. The other thing we know for sure is if you do find something to measure and quantify this it will do absolutely nothing for you. Because we already know its n... | |
| Rega Planar 10/Aria MC Phono Stage HUM Thanks for the DM. One key to preventing hum is having only one path to ground that is the same for everything. The Aria is already connected to ground via its power cord. So you connect the turntable to the ground on the Aria, and nothing else co... | |

| Seems tough to ensure only subwoofer is playing bass frequencies (& not the main speakers) High level sub inputs use a resistor to drop the voltage down to line level. Because of this the extra connections present no load and the amplifier can drive them just fine. If the OP would study my system, which is highly recommended, he would s... | |
