Hifitime - One thing I've done in the past is bond all...Be careful about doing this - components are designed very differently e.g. NAIM and Luxman - this could cause other problems that may be damaging - although I've read this solution many tim... | |

| Why is a 1.5-2 volt AC signal on my Neutral line? Hum Gone!I bought a ground loop isolator by Behringer - it is exceptional since there is negligeable signal loss and the signal quality is maintained I understand the Jensen product is also very goodThanks for the input | |
| What's in a NAIM? I can confirm there is no problem with the NAIM equipment and this is HiFi only system so there is no connection to any video component - except for the DVD player that is being used only as a CD transportI spoke with NAIM support and they confirm... | |
