| Please help I have a strange grounding problem Well, I thought I isolated the problem when I started searching the threads under "isolation transformer" and I found a post about coaxial cable causing ground loop hums. I didn't even have my cable hooked up to the T.V., so just for kicks I unscr... | |
| Please help I have a strange grounding problem Well, I've isolated the humming problem to the FIM outlet. Apparently I didn't install it right. I am going to get an electrician in next week to put in dedicated outlets. I'm tired of sharing electricity with the rest of my house and neighborhood... | |

| Please help I have a strange grounding problem I am using a high-end dipole called the FM Reflect from C.Crane,Inc. I think I paid around $60.00 for it.It is mounted on the wall behind the system, carefully camaflouged by bookcases so the wife will leave it there. I may go for an outdoor unit,... | |
| Please help I have a strange grounding problem Thanks everyone for your great suggestions. I will consider them all. Again, much appreciated. P.S. I'm not so sure now that this is a true ground hum problem after all. I usually listen only to a local college FM station that plays mainly jazz an... | |
| Please help I have a strange grounding problem Thanks, Tim, but it seems to me that a cheap cheater plug to float the ground would also cause a degradation of the sound.Especially when one is using expensive power cords with expensive connectors. I have read that Virtual Dynamics makes some go... | |

| Totem's "Hawk" and "Forrest":How Hi-End Are They? I just had a very nice visit with Galen Carol in San Antonio and had a brief listen to the Totem Hawks in an inexpensive system, Jolida integrated,Audio Aero Prima cdp,with Nordost cabling. I believe power cords were from Shunyata( I can't remembe... | |
| Shunyata Anaconda VX or Elrod III? Well said Uli. You accurately described my "too many cooks" analogy.Based on my own experience I am in agreement that power cords need to be fine-tuned to the system. | |
| Shunyata Anaconda VX or Elrod III? Be careful, Tireguy. Sometimes " too many cooks can spoil the broth ". | |
| Review: Plinius 8200 Amplifier I have no experiences with the BMI products. I am currently playing around with a Sonoran Plateau power cord on my Plinius and Sony 9000ES.I'm switching back and forth every few days to see what sounds best.The Plinius seems to be more sensitive t... | |
| Review: Plinius 8200 Amplifier I have always wanted to visit New Zealand. I have heard it is quite beautiful there. Isn't Tiger Woods' caddie from there ? Maybe I'll someday take up your suggestion to buy an SA-102 amp there and use the savings for the return trip. |
