Grounding
The metal rail is a bad place being on an upper floor of a balcony. I would run it to cold water pipe instead hoping it is an all metal pipe going into the ground 
Are HDMI cables hot swapable?
If you unplug a USB drive without "ejecting" it first, it's problematic, which is why you're supposed to eject it BEFORE removing it. Unplugging a HDMI cable while in use doesn't make sense, you're killing the handshake and video in mid stream, pl...

Learning from him
Since this is an audio forum does this make your bad recordings sound better?? 
best CD player new or used for $1200
Not sure about the B135 but when I had a B100 and a Meridian G08 there was a low level ground loop hum. The only way I could get rid of it was by lifting the ground on the Meridian power cord. I also tried a Sim Audio Super Nova and that also had ... 
Raidho D1/C1.1 vs Dynaudio C1 vs Magico Q1
Vladimir I have my B3 crossed over at 43hz (46hz did give a ever so slight hump). It's not like I hear where the sub is - the problem is it slows down the bass and the mids. That wasn't the case when I had the Dyn C1 sig's. In fact it blended in s... 
Raidho D1/C1.1 vs Dynaudio C1 vs Magico Q1
I have since upgraded to the D1's and am driving them with an Octave V110 (110W tube integrated). As far as a sub I have a Rel B3 with a Nordost Baseline sub cable. My problem with the sub it slows down the overall speed of the mids and what bass ...

When I turn it up, it turns down
Try unplugging your Nad for a few minutes. Plug it back in and see if that solves the problem.That's a common fix for personal computers which can take several hours to completely discharge the power supply. I would recommend when it is unplugged ... 
Nordost Valhalla or Tyr 2 interconnect
I have heard both in my system but not at the same time. The Valhalla was my favorite but couldn't justify the cost (the Valhalla V2 had not been announced yet). The Tyr2 is a warmer more liquid sounding cable IMO. I did buy the Tyr2. I had upgrad... 
Speaker cable for dynaudio C1 signature
I've always loved the Tyr2 speaker cable from Nordost when I had C1 Sig's. Another good cable would be the Ansuz ceramic SC. Not sure of your price point so I'm not sure what you're looking to spend let alone what you currently have and why you wa... 
critics dynaudio speakers
Yonigta Since you mentioned possibly upgrading to the Signatures I tell you the difference I heard. The originals were great but did notice those sounded much better (clearer) as you turn up the volume. The louder the better. My problem is that I ... 
critics dynaudio speakers
Yonigta - Just curious what manufacturer and model speakers do your friends have that make those comments?? I did find find a speaker I prefer over the DYn C1's but had to spend boatloads of money for them. Mine are the Raidho D1's but in all hone... 
Focal micro utopia be VS Dynaudio C1
Hi Nvp - Paul you are right about Raidho. I know I argued with you in the past but that was because I never heard them. Just want you to know I traded the C1 Sig's for D1's.George
