I recently got a used Exposure Super XV integrated amp. It would not turn on, so I had it repaired at a stereo repair shop. It turns on now and plays music, but immediately after powering on, even without music playing, it emits through the speakers a horribly loud, constant buzzing/humming sound. Loud enough that it actually hurts my ears (i.e. not a slight background noise). I tried moving around the cables some; making sure the power cord does not touch the speaker wires, but it had no effect.

Any thoughts? Perhaps the amp is still broken or they did not fix something?

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum so I could have missed this in a previous post, but could someone steer me in the direction of a quality recording(both in performance and sonics) of Mahler's symphony no.8? I'm looking for one in "red book" or SACD format.

Thanks,
DC

For the record this thread isn't intended as a bragging thread or a how big is my d!CK vs. your d!ck battle. It's meant more as a background thread so that we all can understand better where each other is coming from when giving and getting advice. For example if someone says, "I auditioned the XYZ-7000 Mark II and it was to bright" but it's obvious from looking at their choice of gear that they prefer warm sounding Hi-Fi that puts their comments into the proper context. Similar to the section where reviews list the associated equipment.
