2ch amp and HT receiver connected to same speakers
Summitav, are you saying that the CATV coax would cause a hum even if it is not connected to my HT receiver?Sometimes yes. Chances are it has a connection somehwere, if even to the same electircal wiring in your house. It is simple enough to liste... 
2ch amp and HT receiver connected to same speakers
Thanks everyone for the helpful comments. Regarding the ground loop, I have all my equipment powered by the same dedicated circuit. I have also tried the Granite State Ground Control and a cheater plug with minimal effect. The only input to the H... 
Oh how I wish Class D amps ...
Well ... I guess I am wrong for assuming, but I do assume that EVERYTHING is always subject to system synergy. Having said that, the Cirrus speakers are the single best tool I have ever seen for component and wire evaluation. They are an open wind... 
My Oppo hums
Would it not seem if it didn't hum with the old DAC and the new DAC hums, that it is the new DAC's sensitivity to hum.Likely the hum is not caused by either, but is the product of an ungrounded cable or sat system. Unplug the cable (COAX at the wa... 
I need some CD player suggestions please
Summitav - I puchased a subwoofer from them and it arrived in a factory sealed box, but did have an issue. It cost me the shipping to send it back, but they replaced it with another new one after they confirmed the issue. I talked to the same pers... 
harman kardon citation 16 amp?????
I had 3 CITATION 16's in 1974'ish and they were clean and powerful performers.That was over 35 years ago. Any amp that is that old, will not sound today as it did then, unless you go through it an replace parts that wear and age affecting the soun... 
I need some CD player suggestions please
You can pick up an Elite SACD player online from Audiophile Liquidators for under $500.The unit you suggest is a good one, but anyone who wishes to do business with that website needs to do a complete google and proceed with caution if at all. 
HT Preamps with GOOD 2 channel sound?
I might suggest looking for a used BRYSTON SP1.7 or SP2.Not sure what they are going for on the used market, but they are High End Preamps with a 6 channel capbility. 
A good ipod dock for an ipod classic.
I must be confused. My distributor has "loads" of the ONKYO DSA3 here in the US of A.Are you talking about some other unit. 
Melody & Onix
While I am not aware of "who" makes equipment for who, as an old ONIX and new Melody dealer I find the products quite different.Melody is a high grade line of tube gear and ONIX is solid state.Hugh at Angel City Audio, might be able to answer any ... 
What speaker for being close to rear wall?
Since these are going on the "rear wall" is it safe to assume they are for surround sound duties? 
Amp for Dahlquist DQ-10
I ran mine with a pair of "bridged" CITATION 16a's to a very nice result. I had a stacked double pair of Mirror Imaged DQ-10's. The soundstage was stunning!! 
Bryston BDA-1 Best connection?
In your experience, what's the best way to implement hi-rez computer audio with the BDA-1? You may want to consider the BDP-1Have you had a BDA-1 fed by a Rotel RCD-1072 used as transport? I hear the 1072 I have is not great at jitter, and wonder ... 
Bryston BDA-1 Best connection?
As a BRYSTON dealer I like the BNC and AES/EBU connections.Bryston now even offers these cables with those connections.As far as a "difference" in SQ,I haven't heard anyone be overly enthusistic to any specific termination/cable config. 
Using 2 of Centers as Bookshelf Speakers.
I could be wrong, but I think the OP is asking if a speaker originally designed as a CENTER can be purchased as a PAIR and used for a STEREO Pair.I don't (and I could be wrong) think he is asking about using two Centers in a CENTER CHANNEL function.
