[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 216731, member: 67"] Hi Joey, welcome to Soundforums! I really, really doubt it's AC power related. Why? Because EVERY MODE SELECTION is made by a mechanical switch. What comes from the power company doesn't enter into it. It's possible that dirty (oxidized) switch contacts are involved but for 4 amps to behave 'wrong' at the same time, and then a miracle occurs later, I'm not buying dirty switches. You need some 'custom' wired speaker cables; is there a possibility that your cables got mixed up? Also was there a physical tear-down, move, and re-set with system? If so, it could explain the sudden miracle of proper operation. EDIT PS: I see you swapped cables around and did not change the apparent output. Hmmmm. While AC power gets blamed for a lot things, it's almost never the problem so long as it's at the rated frequency and within voltage specs (under load) for the connected devices. [/QUOTE]
