^well said sir. I particularly appreciated your last sentence. I own two pair of the most recent iterations of Klipsch speakers. Heritage and Reference. Very challenging to get just right in my...

Thank you BlueFox. I appreciate your clarification of these questions for me.

Not trying to travel too deep into the hole or get too complicated, but there is a rather significant school of thought out there that the LF in the La Scala can be a bit challenged as well. Hence,...

Appreciate the replies to my post. I apologize if my question was poorly articulated. I understand what an MP3 file is. I always rip music from CDs into my iTunes library using the Apple Lossless...

Doesn't take much to drive that pair of Heresy. That amp is plenty sufficient IMHO. Maybe add a small sub into the mix to make up for the Heresy's slight challenge in the lower end and I am...

If a song held in one's iTunes library is an MP3 file and one uses iTunes software to convert it to an Apple Lossless file, isn't one only simply creating a bigger file containing the exact same...

Very sad.

I literally just finished listening to a remastered (Live at the Fillmore East in 1970) version of 50,000 Miles Beneath My Brain before I stumble upon this thread and learned of this...

Great job. Looking good.

Nice crib. Beware of teething.

My wife insisted our baby boy deserved nothing but the nicest and most expensive hardwood crib/furniture she could find. Matching...

Nice. I always thought the Halo line would look good in black. Much better looking than the original silver IMO.

Our son is 21 months old and we have hit the terrible twos. The good news is he knows not to go near my gear. The bad news is I had to eat dinner tonight with ear plugs in my ears. I can't wait...

SC,

I've had the LS-100 preamp with Dan's DAC upgrade for a few months now. By comparison, I recently had a Peachtree Audio GrandPre preamp. These two units are not even in the same league. ...

Agreed. At this juncture, it seems to me to be the amp. No issues with hum with any of my other amps (both tube and ss). Thanks BlueFox....

SC,

Yes. Flipping the ground switch on the back of the unit actually increases the volume of the hum. Tried plugging the amp directly into the wall. Same issue. Appreciate your thoughts.

Well....

It's not the MIT speaker cables (gotta say I am quite happy about that). Same hum issue with the Kimber cables. I'll try some of SC's recommendations above. Gotta love this forum. ...

Thanks Tony....

I removed the grounding pins (they screw in and out) to the power cables to both the amp and preamp. Hum still persists. I am swapping out the MIT speaker cables with a pair of...

I use PS Audio AC-5 power cables throughout my entire system. The grounding pins on these cables are removable. Would removing the grounding pins on the power cables to my power amp my preamp...

I have a pair of Kimber 8TC speaker cables. I'll try those in the morning and report back. Appreciate the help!

I agree....

With my source off, I can hear a slight hum from my listening position. The best way I can describe it is that it is similar to the hum I have heard with some tube amp set ups.
...

Geeze, I hope this is not the case. It was manufactured in May of 2011 and it does not have so much as a scuff on it. It was shipped to me in its original packaging and then with bomb proof...

I sure hope it's not the speaker cables. I have really enjoyed the synergy between the S1.3 ICs and the S1.3 speaker cables via many different amps and preamps (both tube and ss).

The hum isn't...

The only change is the amp. Just a single ss 2 channel amp.

Swapped out my PS Audio AC-5 power cord with the stock power cord, hum still persists. Added the cheater plug to the stock power...

I sure could use some help.

I just swapped out a tube amp from my 2 channel rig and with a SS amp. I doing so noticed I now have a humming noise coming out of my speakers. The new amp is a...

I used Monoprice 12AWG CL2 cable for my in-wall installation. For me, it works well for HT purposes.

I have not heard one, but I am "guessing" that modded Jolida Fusion probably sounds pretty sweet. Chris Johnson does great job modifying Jolida gear. I have been running a Jolida 502p power amp...

Happy belated birthday Jesse! Hope you had a great day.
