lol this quote from your link pretty much sums it up for me "Youve just connected your system and theres a buzz or hum that wont go away. Youre running your gear through power conditioners and youre beating your head against the wall trying to figure out whats up. Congratulations - you've just entered The Ground Loop Zone..." I'm calling my satellite guy to install one of these Jensen transformers..thanks for the link! -hal -- hal9000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hal9000's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=983 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21315 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
