I did the cheater plug method and extension cord method and results are no fix. Seems like anywhere in the house yields this high freq pitch from mid/twtrs. It is audible from within a foot or two and if you pay close attention in a quiet setting,... 
Signs of poor electricity in home...?

Signs of poor electricity in home...?
Well, I'm not sure if it's an ac buzz as I 'm not really sure what an ac buzz is. I am figuring that based on other users of the same gear report no noise/buzz/hiss. The noise is slightly audible from main listening position @ 11ft. in a moderatel... 
Signs of poor electricity in home...?
So a 'cheater' plug is one of those adaptors that has 3 female/2 male...? Basically eliminating use of the gnd pin being plugged in? Will this not hurt my gear? Not all the amps/recvr I have are being used at same time and a couple of them differ ...

Hifihvn...interesting ideas. I will try some of your sugg...however, the loose connections in brkr box...forget it unless I kill pwr from outside main and then what do I tighten? When I look inside brkr box all I see is brkrs sticking out and ON o... 
Oppo 83 and Nht controller...bananas
Yes, thanks. I understand regardless of which spkrs are set to small the 83 sends freqs 80hz and below to a sub from the spkrs set as small. If I set mains as large and others spkrs as small then the mains will get full range not including the .1/...

Oppo 83SE Analog Setup
I had read somewhere recently the bm was to be revised via a fw update...we'll see. Currently I believe it is set at 80hz when all spkrs are set to small. Some users wanted more flexibility and it got Oppo's attention according to an article I rea...

the greatest pop song ever?
It's my understanding that a pop song is a song that is popular...right. Not just slightly popular but popular in that it draws the attention of many people...I mean millions of people. Based on this qualification Michael Jackson is tops. I'm not ... 
Cable Elevators - What do you use?
I believe Paul over at PS Audio sums it up best with his latest newsletter which I just recv'd...take care of the major tweaks first, matching gear, cabling, room conditioning and then smaller tweaks. He is using t-connectors from local Home Depot... 
Oppo 83 SE wich would be best for my system vs 83
