| Speaker hum problem - need help Went over to fellow Audiogoner drubin earlier today (thanks Dan!!) to try my amp in his system. Had the same exact problem occur in his system that I do in mine; hum coming through speakers when as little as (any) power cord and speaker cables are... | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help Will have updates later this week. Am meeting with a fellow Audiogon'r on Thursday, and the dealer on Friday. | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help LAK - very interesting possibility. There's been lots of work in our panel over the years. i will try to check it out! | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help Al - there is no hum coming from the amp itself.Mental - I have already tried the experiment of disconnecting everything from the amp aside from speakers cables and the power cord. I get the hum just with that minimal set of "items" plugged in.Matt | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help Thanks for the additional suggestions upon which to follow up. Given that it's a holiday weekend, nothing will happen with the dealer until next week. The outlet in the hallway is definitely a different circuit than the ones in the living room. I ... | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help Been doing a bit more reading elsewhere......would an "isolation transformer" help in this situation? Is it possible to install one immediately after the wall outlet (i.e., can I plug my power strip into the transformer)? Am I shooting from the hip? | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help Well, I wasn't able to get to RS today (did a nearly 4 hour bike ride in 85 degree heat.....kinda beat), but, I was able to do the extension cord test. Used a (probably) 14 gauge 25 foot Home Depot type extension cord. Tried it in two separate out... | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help Sounds like many of you are concerned about the "health" of my outlets. The house was brand new in 1990....meaning all new (to code) electrical at that time. I did install both audiophile outlets myself....and know they were done correctly. I do h... | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help Thanks for all your thoughts, suggestions and quips :-)So, first, yes, the amp makes this hum with ONLY it plugged in with the speakers connected. All other equipment was disconnected for this experiment. This same hum occurs in two different outl... | |
| What speakers should I consider around $5000? Listened to the Revel F208's and Sonus Faber Cremona (think it was the M version, but not positive) today. First listened to the Revels with the Luxman L550, next with the Musical Fidelity M6i. Also listened to the Sonus with the M6.To keep it sho... | |
| What speakers should I consider around $5000? Got some appointments over the next 4 days. Will be listening to at least the following: Revel F208, Gallo Ref 3.5, KEF R700 (didn't have the 900), PSB Imagine T2, Von Gaylord VG-8. I will see where I'm at after this....remaining of interest are V... | |
| What speakers should I consider around $5000? Darned it....you guys are making this hard!! My friend swears by Vandee's. Maybe I'll have to add them to the list. This has gotta stop ;-) | |
| What speakers should I consider around $5000? thanks again to all. It'll be interesting to see where this hunt ends up. I'll try to post occasional report from the "front lines" and let you know how things are developing. This is a really great community! | |
| What speakers should I consider around $5000? So, after much research and all of your feedback, here's the four speakers I'm going to listen to. These are in my price range (the Wilson's really were WAY out of my price range). These are listed in no particular order:1) Gallo Ref 3.52) Revel P... | |
| What speakers should I consider around $5000? Interesting about the Vandersteens. One of my friend's swears by them. I've also gotten curious about GALLO ACOUSTICS REFERENCE 3.5, which seem very reasonably priced for the specs they deliver. Anybody have experience with those speakers?I'm plan... |
