| Ground loop hum? On some amps such as Krells, you need to plug the XLR inputs with a shorting strap or else you will get hum when running single ended. Otherwise, check out the basics such as cable dressing etc. If you have a Comcast or cable box connected to the ... | |

| Speaker "whistle in "balanced" mode. You are so welcome. I only wish all problems with audio and life could be so simple. I hope you continue to enjoy your system. | |
| Speaker "whistle in "balanced" mode. Probably the early stages of one of the tubes in the preamp going bad. Since the whistling only happens in balanced mode, try switching the tubes in the balanced part of the circuit and see if the whistling changes channels. From what you are desc... | |
| New Processors passing HD Sound? If the Sony has the HD processors built in and 5.1 analog outputs, simply connect the 5.1 analog output to the 5.1 input of any preamp and you will get the HD sound. | |
| How to eliminate noise in IC's? Is the system connected to the TV? If so, remove the coax cable from either the cable box or the TV and see what happens. If the hum goes away, lift the ground on the coax cable and you should be fine. If you do not have the TV connected to the sy... | |
| Problem with subwoofer and Arcam ARV 300 Rustler, get the receiver hooked-up to a TV as soon as possible. Otherwise, you may be missing out on the true performance of the receiver. You can use the speaker level inputs, but by doing so, you will not be accessing the discreet channel of su... | |
| Problem with subwoofer and Arcam ARV 300 Rustler, make sure the subwoofer is turned on in the set-up menu on the Arcam AVR300. Hold the menu button down for several seconds on the Arcam remote control to access the correct menu. (make sure, of course, the remote control is on amp). If yo... | |
| How to warm up cold-sounding Rotel/B&W system? Stuart, although the RA-1062 is an excellent amp, it is a bit underpowered for the 703s. The amp will play the speakers, but will not properly drive them above moderate volumes in medium to large rooms. The 703s may seem efficient on paper, but ap... | |
| Awful sound from B&W's: Break In needed? In general, B&Ws do require a bit of break in to sound their best. I would suspect that after the first 25 hours or so, the midrange should open up and harshness should subside. After 100 hours, the speakers become more coherent in terms of dr... | |

| Jeff Rowland with Rel sub When connecting a REL to a differential amp using the high level input (the best choice for 2 channel music) you must ground one of the positive wires of the the supplied Neutrix connector to the amplifier. I believe the configuration is red posit... | |
| Cary SLP-70 with noise NictT is probably right about the tubes (for quick results swap all tubes on the right side to the left and vice versa) but if you do this and still have noise coming out of one channel, first swap the interconnect cables (loose RCAs can add sever... | |
| Front projector aspect ratio question West, check to make sure the aspect ratio is set up properly in your DVD player (widescreen as opposed to 4:3 or pan and scan). If the player and your projector are set up properly, you are doing nothing wrong. On a movie such as Fifth Element, fu... | |
| Cary SLM-100 Bias in Triod Mode Pawlowski, is the problem with one amp or both mono-blocks? If you are only blowing fuses in one amp, then swap all of the tubes from one amp into the other and see what happens. If the fuse blows on the amp that had previously not been blowing fu... |
