I use that isolator too. It works like magic. it took me weeks before I isolated that the problem was my comcast cable box.

Excellent - I'll give it a try!

Upon further consideration, the only time I hear static/distortion is from the cable box (127 Hours, etc.), never directly from Blu-ray or Boxee..

Oh and FYI, got the following from Nick @ Anthem over on AVS regarding the Anthem P5 for anyone else that may be considering it:

"Running the P5 from a dedicated 15A circuit instead 20A or two 15s (one per power cord) merely means that the breaker in the service panel would trip sooner, assuming the amp is made to work hard enough for a sustained period. Aside from such a circuit interruption there is no difference in what the amp would deliver relative to line circuit capacity."

Keep us posted on the BUZZ . I am sure Dan's advice will work ! I would like to hear what you think of the synergy between the Contours and the Anthem P5 :thumbsup:

These are notorious for introducing noise, hum, distortion, ground loops, etc. You might begin by installing a VSIS-EU Cable TV Ground Loop Isolator. They are available on Amazon for $16.00. This will isolate the grounds, and should quiet things down.

Hi Dan,
Do you put this before or after the cable box?:scratch2: I would assume after

Doug.......Before the cable box on the incoming coaxial cable. A short coaxial jumper will be needed to go from the isolator to the cable box input.

I haven't yet gotten the isolator but hop to get one installed before week's end.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes.

We have the Dynaudio Confidence C2 MK2 with a Accuphase E450
The play very well together on every level
