Just realized something but don't know if it has anything to do w/ my stereo issues or not. My recv'r has 7A on the back and the amp has 10A on it printed. That is a lot of pwr consumption is it not?...well, my fuse box/circuit breaker in the garage has a bunch of switches/breakers that have 10a....so me electrical jargon. Do I have a 10 amp breaker box as opposed to many people that refer to 15 amp or 20 amp braker box/line? If that is the case well, I have a prblem there as I would be drawing more than it is giving on that circuit wouldn't I. I am not an electrician by no means. I can do some basics like hang a ceiling fan/change a socket, etc. Any input...anybody?
added amp...now hiss from spkr's
Addd an amp to the mix. SS multi-ch. Had no problems prior in relatively simple rig or atleast I did not notice. After making connections to recv'r(now used as pre/pro) I noticed a slight hiss/static like sound comimg from mids on my spkr's. So the process of elimination/isolation began. Long story short, I narrowed it down to the hiss/buzz coming from spkr's with only the amp connected. Nothing else...no interconnects no nothing. That cancels out cable problems, bad dvd player, etc, etc. Just power cable plugged in and wires going from amp to spkrs. When powered on it makes the noise. Amp runs quiet as far as I can tell when putting ear next to it. What's the deal? Tried diff outlets, diff spkr...makes no difference. When taking amp out of the mix and connecting spkr's to recvr, there is no noise at idle. Amp plays fine/sounds fine but the noise, although slight, is bugging me to pieces. Amp was shipped to me and had shifted cady/catty corner while in it's factory packaging which is pretty substantial. Perhaps it took a hit/drop...weighs about 80 lbs! Could something have gotten jared loose...a transformer which it has two of and quite large. Or is it the nature of the beast to output some noise when at idle? Thank you.
