Sanders sound systems preamplifier
Sanders pre had no noise?  Static?  Or is a good quality product?? 
Spaghetti cabling behind entertainment center
Ok;keep ep all power cords together and away from others.  Don't let them touch other cables, rca' or hdmi's. Dont  let touch the floor? Vibrations? Or put some ceramic tile behind entertainment center on floor? Or waste of time & money? 
Spaghetti cabling behind entertainment center
Ok, isolate the power cords from every component.  Will do, I will tie them together, and try to get as far away from RCA's hdmi's as I can. Thank you

Mark Levinson 333.5 vs Emotiva XPR-1 Monoblocks
I own the gen 1 xpa-1 monos.  I had my Sunfire sig refurbished by Bill flannery, and did compare them, the Sunfire stereo amp embarrassed the emo amps, was not close!  The Sunfire amp is from 1996, the emo monos from 2008. Keep  the mark levinson ... 
Mark Levinson 333.5 vs Emotiva XPR-1 Monoblocks
Mark levinson and "emo" should never even be spoken in the same sentence.  Keep the levinson, and forget the other Chinese amps. Poor parts, poor amplifiers.   There is no comparison, levinson all day long. Better design, better parts, better in e... 
Static from tweeters, preamp?
Two hdmi cables into tv, one from cable box, one from DVD. Furman has two isolated banks, I plug all components to one side, and only preamp/amplifier into the other. Yes I tried preamp in every possible outlet, as soon as plug hits receptacle, st...

I leave the power off on the preamp when plugging in the cord to furman. I have had the power off, on, tried a different outlet, tried a different outlet with another power strip/surge protect, to no avail once the onkyo plugs in the ticking/stati... 
Static from tweeters, preamp?
My monoblocks are 3 prong grounded plugs, preamp is two prong ungrounded, as is DVD player, cable box, TV. It is a static noise, not a ground loop low freq hum. Bad op amp? Preamp going bad, it is an old unit from the early 90's. I will be getting...

McCormack DNA-750 good?
These were purchased pretty much sight unseen a couple weeks back, I wanted to get thoughts from people on them. They arrived about 5 days ago, all I can say is I will never let these leave my house, maybe upgraded, these are my reference amps, a... 
McCormack DNA-750 good?
Money IS the object. I would buy used. Which is why I'm looking at the McCormack monos. Still considering them. Are they worth a purchase in everyone's eyes? Or wait? Buy something better.........is there better? I'll probably purchase t hem, they... 
McCormack DNA-750 good?
Are these on par with pass labs, Macintosh , etc etc. ? Or, are these not in the same league? From what I have researched/heard, these are right on par with the big pass & Mcintosh, I just wanted to get other opinions, and as many as possible.
