Thanks, Tom Thiel, for your experienced and insightful response. I have heard the sounds of Barkhausen noise generated by the rapid change in magnetic fields. I know this firsthand in my use and experiments with magnetic materials, varying field ... 
High Fidelity Cables?
CNC machines so they could make many of their own small parts. The machines were probably leased thru a 3rd party. Tom

Tom Thiel, I have a new speaker rebuild and elected to place the crossover out board for final tuning. It will always be outboard.  Components are mounted on a solid 1/2 inch poplar board and grounded to the floor via threaded 1.5 inch Audio Poin... 
Can moving wire location at circuit breaker reduce hum?
Thinking back over 25 years ago I had a client with top of the line Melos gear. Had the same hum issue and voltage on a line it turned out to be a coax cable hooked to a piece of gear connected to the preamp. Tom

Ground loop you have..Tom  
Inside the Iso Acoustics mechanism
Inside view of our Energy Room. All direct coupled walls ceiling and of course all the components. Included are our 3rd gen.Caravelle speakers and stands fully loaded with my new driver selection and simple unique crossover. Take a tour you may fi... 
Inside the Iso Acoustics mechanism
I have been suggesting a 3rd party recorded shoot out for many years..Between the new Sound Stage Audio Sistrum direct coupled platforms  vs Townshend Audio spring based platform.  Comparison under the same set of speakers I presume. Coming soon I... 
Grounding a Powered Speaker
Look up Bud Purvine..he started something like what your describing years ago. Also Exemplar Audio.. Tom    
Difusers on the speakers?
2 things..Nextel spray finish Flocking spray..oh and 1 more thing..the EnABl process..All will work..even 1 of these on the drivers. Tom  
Difusers on the speakers?
If you have walls a floor and ceiling and contents of different materials and shapes then laminar flow devices help mitigate the boundary interference induced by shapes while listening to music. Tom  
Difusers on the speakers?
Avs Jerry I am associated with 2 websites neither show the laminar device or the music fan nor a planar nor a (di pole fan). A surface pattern treatment patented by Bud Purvine called the EnABL process a type of shear wave thought to be a Rayleigh... 
Higher amperage fuse for sound quality
I haven't used fuses in 17 years.  
Difusers on the speakers?
No I use devices that I build that increase laminar flow on top of the speakers, bottom of the speaker stands and at 4 postions of my Sistrum Rack. Supplemented with my active laminar flow device midway in the room. Tom

Tom Thiel I am really fascinated by the Iconoclast wire please post your findings as soon as you have time. I use Bruno Putzeys Purifi  6.5 in driver in my most recent speaker rebuild and just love its performance. Cross over is 1st order to a Vi... 
Room acoustics
I use my muti laminar tubes to capture and direct flow off my speakers and  4 on my shelves of my centered Sistrum rack. I supplement these with my powered music fan treated with low shear metals in a paint of all natural minerals and running in r...
