That is a a huge help. I wasn't aware the pre-out on the amp was variable. Thanks for the help.

I have recently purchased a new Wharfedale SW150 sub for my stereo setup to add some depth to my BA A26 speakers connected to my Denon PMA 720 amp. This is my first time using a "proper" sub. I intend to use this for music only. Despite all of my research I have only made myself more confused as...

I spoke to an electrician today that informed me of the most likely scenario. Apart from the possibility of a simple EMI due to sparking it is also likely the the earth rod for the fencer is too close to the earth rod for my house. The discharge from the fence unit to earth is strong enough to...

The isolation transformer sounds like a very good, cheap solution and well wrth a try. Thanks fo rthe tips.

It's not just my Denon amp that suffers from the noise. I also have a Cambridge Audio A5 that actually sounds worse from within the cabinet so I doubt the Denon is faullty. I have a sneaky suspicion the cartridge on my AT95E on my TT is also acting as an ariel. The fence unit is connected to my...

The Denon 720 is a lovely amp in my opinion having compared it to others in a similar price bracket. It can be got a great price at the moment. Maybe an upgrade is due soon.

I've read about mixed results with these. My amp (Denon PMA 720) is picking up RF noise from an electric fence in the area. It doesn't affect anything else in the house but the amp has an audible tick through the speakers and also within the amps cabinet itself. Some people swear by the TACIMA...

First off, there is a dedicated TT forum here where you might get more feedback. I'm in Cork and didn't let that put me off the second hand market. I did my online research and purchased on ebay, Parcel Motel will help reduce any P+P costs. I can't comment on your suggestions as I purchased a...

I wonder ( given that we are discussing Rega and Pro-ject) how much a current entry level device compares to vintage turntables. I have a Pioneer Direct Drive PL 300 http://www.classic-audio.com/pioneer/pl300.html Although it sounds good with a budget AT95e I found the voume is a good bit...

I have a budget Cambridge Audio Topaz amp. The Denon is much more relaxed by comparison although the What Hifi review would imply otherwise.

I've got the Denon 720. Super amp, I'll doubt you'll have any regrets.

+1 , I have the X3 paired with Sennheiser Momentums and whilst the SQ is step up from my prevous Sony X series it would be a push to say the difference is blatant. The X series was a very good player. Notable positives include excellent background silence on quiet passages and the ability to...

You say your entire house is wired. Is there an ethernet switch box between your router and the Denon? If so can you temporarily remove the switch box and join the network cable to create a direct link from your router?I understand you say the CA doesn't give any problems, but I resolved a...

Yamaha KX-493 http://www.vintagecassette.com/yamaha/kx_493 Hooked up to my Denon PMA 720 and still used occasionally for fun. I back up new vinyl to Sony Metal XR cassette, again just for fun. I also have a perfect Sony WM-DC2 (avatar)which sounds fantastic...
