Well, I do recommend going to Mapleshade for entertainment. It's been brought up here a few times over the past 3-4 years and the absurdity of their descriptions has always been good for a few laughs.

I agree with John, don't waste your time with those snake oil tactics.

Happy Holidays!
I was just kidding about Mapleshade -- mostly because of the recent posting that attracted a lot of attention.

Since the system is ok at the current volumes I don't need to do anything. I might look into some AC filters but they are a lot of money and I am not sure that is an issue -- again since I can't hear hum at normal volumes. What is puzzling me is that it gets a little worse when the AVR is connected.
Enjoy the holidays!

Have you tried a different AVR, maybe you could borrow one from a friend?

Do you have the AVR and the sub on the same circuit?

No I haven't, but that is a good idea.
Now I just need to make some friends...

Yes, the AVR and the sub are on the same circuit. Will this help the potential ground loop issue?

Yes, having all of your audio/ video on the same AC circuit will help eliminate ground loop problems.
