| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? Thank you blindjim,I’ve done every test I could come up with. The best isolation scheme was to only have the Anthem A5 connected to the speakers with no other component connected or plugged into house power. The hum was audible from the amp and co... | |
| Speaker jumpers max997,I couldn't agree with you more! With all this "jumping" around I'm getting dizzy! Bi-wire is the best solution! IMHO.... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Here's my 2 cents and it may just be worth that!I've done a lot of research on subs and am an advocate of REL's. My system is dual purpose, 2-channel music and 5.5 channel home theater. When I say 5.5, meaning I have 5 subwoofers. A loudspeaker is... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? For those who have offered advice, education, and information, I am very thankful. I've tried everything almost imaginable to find the source of the "hum". I've deduced the problem to it's source being my original assumption. Doubting myself provi... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? After all this, my problem isn't a ground loop, bad ground, or anything external. Reading my email to the repair shop will explain;Hi Morris,Ok, I’ve exhausted my resources and have isolated the problem. I have a dedicated AC line I tapped from th... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? I tried a different power cord. If it were a ground issue, wouldn’t running it through a power conditioner such as the Torus correct it? Also, the Torus is plugged into the outlet by the left channel and I tried plugging directly to the outlet by ... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? Picked up my amp today and at the shop it seemed dead quiet however, there's ambient noise in the shop. According to the owner, early in the morning he heard nothing. It was dead quiet. After getting it home I spent the evening re configuring all ... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? My amp has been at the shop since Wednesday and the owner called me this morning at 7:00 am when the shop was dead quiet. Said he did agree the transformer on the right was a bit louder than the left however it was a normal hum. I explained again ... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? Today I dropped it off at the local authorized service center who has been the only company to work on my amp. Interesting thing, without opening the cover, I put my ear real close to the vents adjacent to the transformers, there are two, one on t... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? dhal,I like the concept of what you and wolf_garcia suggest. Here is Los Angeles we typically don't have the same power issues one would have in other parts of the country however it couldn't hurt. Reviewing the chain of events, I seriously think ... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? jc4659, my guess is either you hit the nail on the head or it's a faulty component. Your suggestion is about the most logical given the history. Another thing I'd like to add, this unit replaced an Integra 50.3 AVR that was dead quiet. I don't bel... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? Thank you everyone for the great intell. I bought a Torus TOT MAX yesterday at a killer price and the dreaded hum is still there. I'm convinced its internal in the amp and something isn't right. This morning real early I powered it up with no inpu... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? I don’t recall ever hearing it before. When I moved into a new home, the right surround was dead. I took it to an authorized Anthem service center, the only one in the USA, they couldn’t find any problem so as a preventative measure, they disassem... | |
| Room treatment-I was afraid of this dsyder0cnn,That would be difference between throwaway vs.$5,000 cables! Buying cables is an exponential equation. Squeezing that last bit of performance cost 10x as the last improvement! | |
| Room treatment-I was afraid of this Hello gentleman...It’s almost intimidating reading about the exotic systems and what you do with them. I have a rather challenging room, irregular in shape and all mirror behind me. I’ve moved the sofa 14" from the rear mirrored wall and propped a... |
