Short of running new, dedicated 15 or 20 amp lines for audio, what can I do here?
i've found that LED lights can cause interference. I had a lot of interference coming in on FM, which I solved initially by keeping the LED lights off which isn't always a convenient solution, and then by using a ferrite ring on the FM antenna lea...

This takes me back years. I used to ow. A GTP500II. at the time I bought it the GTP500II just came out and the dealer still had stock of the GTP500. I called Adcom to ask about the differences. The only difference as I could recall was being told ...
