Dolby Atmos - is it for Audiophiles?
I have a 11.2 HT set up built around seven Snell speakers and a Marantz 8012 two Snell Basis 300 powered subs. My room is well treated with acoustic panels and bass traps. My 2 channel is digital played through classic Snell AIII's with Perfect Wa... 
B&K 200.1 reference power vs B&K AVR307 amps
I put a pair of B&K ref 200.1 monos with my AVR707 and it opened up the system like I couldn't believe. I look everyday for another pair. Best money I ever spent. 
Buzz between Marantz SR5008 and Mcintosh C2300
All interesting but am I correct to assume that since the buzz did not go away with the cable/satellite coax disconnected at the wall that it's been eliminated as a source of the buzz? And that the process of elimination will be using cheaters on ... 
Buzz between Marantz SR5008 and Mcintosh C2300
I removed the cheater from the C2300 but left on the PS DAC and the buzz came back. I put the cheater back on the C2300 and, upon really close listening, it's apparent that the buzz doesn't entirely go away. It just gets barely audible.Traveling a... 
Buzz between Marantz SR5008 and Mcintosh C2300
Should have mentioned that. Interestingly, the coax is also going through the Furman. I disconnected the coax at the wall and the buzz did not go away. I by-passed the Furman direct to the SR5008 and buzz remained. I'd previously checked the cable... 
Buzz between Marantz SR5008 and Mcintosh C2300
Well, it was the PS Audio dac that was the main source of the gound loop. I put a cheater on the C2300 and the buzz decreased. I added a cheater to the PS Audio and it went away. I haven't tried removing the cheater off the C2300 since I'm feeling...

Very helpful all. Thanks for the responses. I won't be able to test until this weekend so I'll report back with results.Theo, I have disconnected the C2300 and the buzz goes away in the other channels.Jim - Yes, I'm pretty sure all is connected to... 
Buzz between Marantz SR5008 and Mcintosh C2300
Hmmm? The buzz happens when the FL and FR pre out from the Marantz are connected to an input which has been designated as Passthrough on the C2300. In Passthrough mode the Marantz drives unity gain (if I'm understanding you correctly). The buzz is... 
Why no used Sanders Magtechs?
Finally got mine from Roger. Waiting for the house to finish...

Build a new system around pair of Snell Alll's?
Frogman, Sorta been occupied with other stuff lately. My current direction is headed towards a tube pre with strong SS amps. The combo that really lit the Snells was the Audio Research Ref 5 and the Sanders Magtech. I'm watching for a Ref 3 as a p...
