It does unfortuanetly, and connected as it should be - was only too hopeful of such a fix! Anybody any knowledge of using such a device as a ground loop isolator? Have noted thay have a certain frequency response and impedence and am unsure of how it might degrade signal - likely for the worse...

So, after electing to add a sub to my setup, I've found I've now some nasty low 60 cycle-like hum when I select 'phono' on my amp. The hum is only present with the sub connected to my amp i.e. if I unplug the sub, the hum disappears. In fact, even with sub powered off (yet still plugged in) and...

How does one best set-up a 2 channel system with a subwoofer? Admittedly, I'm fairly confused by the numerous ways advised to set-up a sub, down to exactly what type of cabling I need - so please, make this dummy friendly! My setup is purely for music. I've a Yamaha AS501 that has a dedicated...

Did you note a great improvement in sound quality with the upgrade, particularly in respect of the phono's? From a cursory glance at specs, seems odd that the 8005 lacks features that the 7005 has.

Cheers for the reply. Funny you ask, the amp will need to ouput occassional disco party volume *dance4*...Room is long and narrow, and if I recall measurements correctly, it's 30 feet x 13 feet. Music is electronic/ dance/ disco / soul / rock. Just did a bit of forum reading from similar posts...

I've been offered some ikon 6's at an unresistable price, however my budget does not yet extend to the more obvious amps that might be paired with it. I've read numerous times that the 6004, despite it's size, gives the impression of having power in spades, and with this in mind I'm thinking of...
