System edited: From my humble beginnings using mostly China amps and separates I have evolved to what I consider a nice system. I am very pleased with the results but after two years, I think it is time to change. My main and only issue with my setup is and has always been Hum! I have tried everything to eliminate it but even now at its lowest db, I still know it is there... Therefore, I am going to move from the Steelhead to a solid-state pre and the Snappers will be going in favor of a pair of solid-state monos. Some may think this is a step back but I want silence. I was considering just using the Denon as it is extremely flexible offing a separate zone out for the Merlin’s and a pure direct signal path, this weekend I am going to try to bypass the snappers and plug the steelhead through the Denon just to see how it sounds. Any suggestions (and offers) on where to go next would be appreciated taking into account that the room is only 18 X 13’ And while this was touted as a perfect match I would like to change the Merlin’s, Steelhead and Snappers.

Ernest again Steven the Mit Isolater was vey expensive when the MIT hit the market with their Z-products they have come down to sane level prices. i have seen some of their Z-centres going in the $400.00 I think their z- products are worth keeping and the Isolatar depending what you spentcould well be a deal,they have one more piece and it deals with voltage regulation and Powerfactor Correction? Heads Up Buddy, Ernest

Hey Steve,Ernest here, I was just taking a peek at some of your equipment and a few issues we all have with our systems. Steve I didn`t know you are into using some MIT wire for speakering and interconnecting! I have a 8 ft bi-wire pair of T2`s which need to be reterminated at the ampside the speakerside still has original banana`s and are in real good shape. Once reterminated I suppose you`ll lose about a half ft maybe less with the tails. I have a buddy who does reterminations ,I could get them done for you and send them to florida, no charge, just give me the word! these are originnal bi-wires from about 10yrs ago and they were chargeing $750 at the time, I think the dollar was 36% going the U.S. way. I will also shoot you a short email. Ernest
