| Ayre KX-R or PS Audio BHK Pre IMO that is a very limited selection. You would do very well to check out the Sutherland Engineering N1 preamplifier. After I auditioned the Ayre in my system I purchased the N1. Check it out, you won't be disappointed. | |

| Hum problem Addendum to my previous post above.**Important consideration when using a cheater plug to float the ground on any component.Many cheater plugs are polarized. You must eliminate the polarized lugs so you can change the orientation of the plug. One ... | |
| Hum problem Couple of tips:1) Try using only 1 outlet for all of your components. Obviously using a multiple outlet strip that can accommodate everything and is rated at 20 amps. Insure that the outlet is dedicated if you can.2) Experiment floating the ground... | |
