| Exemplar Denon 2900. WOW Need owner advice. The new version of the Exemplar/Denon 3910 is here. I am told that immediately it is superior to the Exemplar/Denon 2900. I just got it running. Maybe tonight I will hear this. | |
| A Call To Reason . . . . . Steve, I actually had an Exemplar 3910 last week. It had been damaged in shipment and is now back with John and is fixed. I will get it early this coming week, but of course have to wait some time awaiting its breakin. I, of course, will not have ... | |
| A Call To Reason . . . . . I always loved to sit in the back of Long Island Audio Society meetings and laugh at the "mine is bigger than yours" comments that were exchanged. This is human nature, but I try not to engage in it. Occasionally, however, I suspect that my posts ... | |
| CD Tweaks and Longterm Damage I have not tried Shine Ola, but AudioTop is so superior to other cd treatments that I find it hard to believe it would not be better than Shine Ola. Nevertheless, trimming with the AudioDeck is needed to bring out the full performance of cds, HDCD... | |
| Is cheater plug safe with grounded monster power? You are right, I am a very prideful guy. I am off to lick my wounds. LOL. | |
| Is cheater plug safe with grounded monster power? "STUPID, STUPID" Your statement prompted my dismissal of your condecenson. One of my undergraduate majors was EE, so don't lecture me. None of the component that I refer to have plastic housings, so forget that assumption."if (the grounding of the... | |
| Is cheater plug safe with grounded monster power? This gives a good explanation of what the problem is and why it exists, but it is mainly for AV systems. It does suggest starting with the amp only in the system. You will probably not have much hum. Then you add until you get hum. Guess what you ... | |
| Is cheater plug safe with grounded monster power? Household appliance including mainly portible heating devices?Again you exaggerate, even if in caps. Many audio and video devices with three pin wall plugs have no connection in the device of the grounding wire. All cd players that I have checked,... | |
| Is cheater plug safe with grounded monster power? Rex, you statistic cause alarm, but we would need to know how many of these fires come from electric space heaters. This is all a red herring considering the original question about hum. | |
| Is cheater plug safe with grounded monster power? If he has two paths to ground with different resistance to ground, he has a ground loop. The cheater opens one of these paths, closing it again by attaching the wire of the cheater to the ground at the outlet reconnects it. I must admit that I am ... | |
| Is cheater plug safe with grounded monster power? Nothing would be harmed. My guess is that it would sound better. | |
| Can a wall socket dramatically improve sound? Yes I was speaking for myself. | |
| Is cheater plug safe with grounded monster power? If you ground the amp as Gregadd suggests to the wall receptacle, you will have the same ground loop. Ground only the amp to a real ground will not cause the ground loop. | |
| Can a wall socket dramatically improve sound? Yes Eldartford, I strongly discourage your trying the IsoClean. It would be a waste. Each of us have no patience with the other's drivel, so we should stop reading each other's posts. | |
| Is cheater plug safe with grounded monster power? Take the inputs out of the amp and turn the amp on. If you have no hum, the hum is coming from elsewhere. If you have many grounded units, you will typically get a ground loop or hum. This is caused by two or more routes to ground with differing p... |
