Hello i've changed the powercord on my rb985 to a supra lorad cable.I've installed a new power inlet on the amp with a ground pin.should i use it or not.is there any gain(improvement in the sound) in grounding the rb 985.i am currrently running it without grounding since thats how i'ts originally was constructed.

I can't answer your question directly, but one thing to check is does the Amps IEC connector (power in) have a middle earth pin? If it does, I'd use a 3 wire cord with earth, if it doesn't a 2 wire will suffice as the earth is obviously not necessary.- Mike

the amp doesent have a connector originally. i put one in to be able to use the supra lorad power cable.the supra cable is shielded and must be grounded.Comment

Sorry, I mis-read your post.
If the original design didn't use a ground, then I wouldn't change the setup.
The power cord shield will still be effective if its grounded at the wall outlet end.- Mike

I picked-up an old RSP-985 (DD, DTS, THX...) pre/pro that sounds great...except for an ever present hum. I have tried... -

I thought that my dedicated 20amp line were the end all ? I went to the site for balanced power and downloaded all the FAQ.
I understand that a total system would do justice better, but to get my feet wet, could I start with the 20a line that feeds my line level equipment ? Would i hear... -
Hey, this is my first post here.
I have a RMB 1075, and for the moment i use Yamaha RXV1300RDS as processor.I have been thinking of buying 985 or 1066 processor, and for the moment my brain says 985.I can't audition them here in my town.I have read a lot about 1066, but there isn't so...
