CleveB, Hi. Agree 100%. We get caught in the trap in everything we do. The first song on Steely Dan's Countdown to Ecstasy still, to this day, doesn't sound right when it doesn't skip halfway through. How are those great ATC's? I followed your lead and created ground wires and it completely fixed the ground loop issue with the xlr/rca mess I had with the ATC SCM150ASL's. Eventually had to sell those magnificent washing machines cuz they overpowered the room both sonically and physically. Was a great 3 months with them, though, and if I could've found 100's and three 50's for a decent used price I would have been all-ATC right now.
