    I got the preamp back yesterday it appears to be much better now. The slipping reciept says the was a ground problem. The unit seems much quiteir now, but I haven't done any real listening yet. And the software is 2.10a -Tom

    H/K Signature 2.0, software 2.12?

    I talked to Bon Popum today, he's the nice man who does all the warranty work on the Signature 2.0s. There WAS a 2.12 upgrade that has been discontinues due to bugs. Apparently the 2.12 update was for something with the DTS board but it cause a problem where non-European models would no...

    Harman kardon Signature 2.0 HELP!

    --------------- I've had the Signature 2.0/2.1 combo since the middle of the summer, and I do indeed know what you're talking about. I hear the hiss, it is audible. However, it does not get louder with increases in the volume, and goes mostly unnoticable unless I'm really listening for it in...

    Harman kardon Signature 2.0 HELP!

    Well, it's been sent to Bob in colorado for repair. So I'm stereoless for at least 5 weeks (week to ship, 3 to fix, week ship back.) I'll update everyone when I get it back. But if they says it's 100% okay and should sound this way, then it goes on eBay.

    Harman kardon Signature 2.0 HELP!

    My hiss is audible from 6 feet away from the fronts and 4 feet from the rears (this is how my room is set up.) So I think it's too noisy. The HUM from th eunit itself can be heard 6 feet away also. My software is version 2.10a. They emailed me a shipping label and I'll be sending this...

    Harman kardon Signature 2.0 HELP!

    I talked to Harman today and they will honor the warranty. They even gave me the option of having my fried's credit card refunded, but I want this unit. I think the audible hum is from the power transformer. But the static noise can be best describe as "tape hiss." i brought a friend over who...

    Harman kardon Signature 2.0 HELP!

    I have tried it directly into the wall. I've even thrown all the breakers in my house to turn off everything electircal except that outlet. The noise is very audible, but not over 50db (which is the lowest my SPL from RadioShack will measure.) It's very annoying and since it was a...

    Harman kardon Signature 2.0 HELP!

    Actually, I'm having a little problem with the preamp. I think it's "noisy." Let me explain: If in a completely silent room (nothing else plugged into the wall) I plug in the pre-amp I hear a weird kind of buzzing. If I plug my amp in and turn the pre-amp off and listen to the speakers...

    Well, since I can't around the back of my TV to plug in the S-video I can't say for sure. But I can tell you both component AND composite work at the same time. -Tom Hayes

    Is $450 for a HK 5800 amp a good deal??

    These were on sale for $350 from J and R but dried up. Now, I am not advertising one, but I am selling one on an auction site. I started the bidding at 249 for the 5800 and the Pt2500 (the preamp that is mated with it) and I expect them BOTh to go for under that amount. But it IS an excellent...

    New JVC DVD-A players

    I just went down to Circuit City and they had a new JVC player, which I bought (since I can always return it.) I haven't seen this mentioned and it's not on the JVC site yet. XV-SA75GD (Champagne) and XV-SA70BK (Black) features: DVD-Audio Progressive Scan 1024x Zoom (a little over kill)...
