Need balanced pre with HT bypass/remote/
OB,Thanks. Damn, was hoping the newer tech in the LS26 helped it move past the Ref 3, or at least catch it...but at half the price I wasn't ready to bet on it. :>) 
Need balanced pre with HT bypass/remote/
Ije,I meant that I removed the ground loop from the Modwright's HT bypass by ungrounding the surround processor (in my case a Denon 4806 used purely as a pre/pro, amps are all external) by using a two prong cheater plug, and also by running the HT... 
Need balanced pre with HT bypass/remote/
I believe that Nick will do HT bypass, and he'll definitely do transformer balanced outputs (as well as inputs). The remote volume is nothing he'll touch, though, so something likethe Palcette volume control would have to be a mate.I'm not worried...

Getheleadout,No, keep it coming. it's refrshing to see someone so enamored with a company and its founder. Good stuff.OB,I've been reading your posts here and at AVS. Have you heard or know anyone who has heard bot the LS26 and the Ref3? A poster ... 
Need balanced pre with HT bypass/remote/
Getheleadout,I respect the reviews that Placette is getting. However, I don't have them on my list cuz I don't think they have an HT bypass or invert phase capability, let alone their balanced out versions are more than a Ref 3. Not to say they ar... 
Need balanced pre with HT bypass/remote/
Thanks for the responses so far. I want to go active, and do NOT want to do cheaters everywhere. I cheater'd the ATC's and my great UK contacts at ATC went ballistic, saying that it's quite dangerous and unstable. It was quiet as hell, but dangero...

Thanks. The VAC has no invert phase function, though, but neither does the Pass Labs. What is the price of the MKII?

Update: Need to add VTL TL-7.5 to that list. The investments are getting pretty big now, though. 
Lifting ground my only option so far?
Ozzy,As stated in the original post "I disconnected the cable tv". 
Lifting ground my only option so far?
I replaced one of my outlets (right speaker and one of the P300's) with a Porter Port (cryo'd Hubbell, I bought 4 the other day to address these issues regardless of the source; can't hurt) and will get to the 4-way asap, but it's tough to get to....

Sean,Sorry for being a smart-ass, but the first time your response posted the link wasn't there. All it said was "Rather than guessing....do things the right way"...which didn't leave me much. Now the link is showing and I'll go get educated. Than... 
Lifting ground my only option so far?
Sean,Thanks. Why didn't I think of that. Do things the right way. Ok, thanks. 
Lifting ground my only option so far?
Update:Well, I tried the idea of plugging both my Power Plant P300's (they condition all my equipment except the amps) into the same line as the amps. Previously they were plugged into long extension cords into an outlet in the back of the room, w... 
How to ship my speakers out of state
Well, the rest of the story on TeamAir is: the speaker shipment (450 lb crate, 2 100 lb boxes) arrived from Portand, OR to Cleveland, OH in 4 days, in pristine condition, and were delivered last night. Everyone at TeamAir was very helpful, courteo... 
best shippers?
My speakers arrived (450 crate plus 2 boxes) safe and sound, and the folks at TeamAir.com couldn't have been better to work with. Net/net, air-ride quality at literally hundreds less than freight. And unlike Bax Global, they can ship from non-busi...
