Hum from Florescent light
Go to and look for the SL Waber SWT-1N ($7.56) or SWT-1NT ($12.95) The difference between the two is the NT has telephone jack protection also. Both are 210 joule with RFI noise blocker filter. $2500 equipment guarantee. Get the NT and you can us... 
Power/Line conditioner
Also thanks Cornfedboy. I was only familiar with the PS Audio. Seems to be the only one that gets talked about.

There is an earlier thread that talks about the APC stuff. It has something to do with the type of current it gives out. You could call APC I suppose or search threads on power conditioning.

There is a one oulet surge protector with a basic RF filter that sells for $10. It basically plugs into the wall socket and then you plug whatever into it. It is great for laptop computers because it will fit into the the carrying case. I will loo...

There is also a lot of information on Kleiber and many others at classicalmusic.com ---- Pls1 - Interesting comment. I've heard a few of the Baltimore Symphony/Temirkanov concerts I've attended played on NPR and enjoyed them just as much. I also b...

Be careful, I think you have the wrong thing. The only audio power regenerators are made by PS audio. Of the commerical power centers made by APC (American Power Conversion) there is only one that will work with an audio system (it was not designe... 
What to do? What to do?

BE CAREFUL OF THE VOLTAGE CONFIGURATION IT IS DIFFERENT. 110 volts VERSUS 240. 
Recommendations- Tuner/Preamp w/ pwrCkt
Also Rotel RTC-940-AX, RTC-950-AX, and RTC-850. The last of these was discontinued in 1999 (940), so they would all be used. The 950 dates from 1992 to 1995, the 850 from 1988 to 1991. 
MIT bashed, not Transparent, why?
I agree with Bob Bundus. I thought MIT were strange, now I own them. A sub for audio a waste; now I own a REL; If you go back 15 years all CD player were about the same. I still thought that until 1995, now my CD player cost more than my whole old...

I have had personal contact with Ben in the past on more than one occassion, and he can be hyperbolic in public, so in regards to hype I guess I agree. He is a real dynamo and his enthusiansm is too much for some. No one is neutral if you ask them...

Zander's intent is to educate and enlighten, not to be the better than anyone else. Basically he feels the Beethoven we are use to has be romanticized by a century and a half of "tradition". He uses a Toscanini recording as an example of "traditio...

Kleiber is a very exacting perfectionist who works and records when or where he feels like it. His great reputation also allows him to hand pick the repertoire, the orchestra, and soloists. He gives no interviews. He refuses to be tied to any one ...
