Also I find the Mp-1 mkIII to be more "hum laden" than the ARC Ref 3 or VTL 7.5 driving the Gamut M250's. That said, I love the sonic attributes of the MP-1..even more frustrating! I should mention that the Gamuts are near dead silent, as SS amps go. I would appreciate any suggestions to enhance compatibility, as I have exhausted my ideas. Brian
