Surprised me.

I just moved to a new apartment, and I've been dissatisfied with the system since I set it up, about 3 weeks. It's also been switched on and off numerous times, so that I can fiddle with light switches etc.

Today it sounds great, and it's been switched off once today too.

So what did I do ? Not much I think. I put the TV/VCR and digital TV decoder on a different circuit. But the computer is still on the same one. Could this make that much difference ?

I'll be having a separate spur for the system very soon.

The Nait and the B&Ws sound great today

In my experience, yes. Easily. Great isn't it -- further improvement awaits!

Best;

Andrew,

'Chez nous' the lounge is the listening room, but we don't have the TV with the hifi system. The TV is in the spare bedroom/study/computer room/store cupboard.

Saturday, I removed an unused electric heater and installed a three pin socket where it used to be hooked up. I switched the TV/VCR/decoder/TV system amp to this plug. So it's on the heating circuit now, which is on a different line to the hifi system.

The scrore is 1 - 1. The hifi, with the Nait, sounds better, but the TV system amp, a hifi world EL34 push pull, has started humming. It hummed much less when it was on the 2 pin line that is used for everything but heavy duty appliances in the building.

Oh well, too many toys I suppose
