I hate to tell you this, but I had experience in one shop in Singapore wherein the Quietline Noise Sniffer was used on the Castle Line Conditioner, and it didn't cleaned up the AC line due to the loud audible sound coming out of the Sniffer.

Superman,

Galing Pare!. This is totally different from your previous setup, except for the Tono 300B of course.

How is your Marantz turntable? Is it the original tonearm? You're using the M92-E cartridge, how do you find it? I have an M92-E installed as well on my Technics, and an M44G on my Luxman. IMHO, the M92-E is intended for HomeAudio and the M44G is more for DJs. I like the M92-E better, although you might say it sounds manipis, but the details are far more better than that of the M44G. Let me know your own observations.

Are your neighbours in Planet Krypton not complaining yet from the sound of your new setup? :lol: :lol:

Cheers! :)
