Post Subject: Pp2000 power cordPosted by Bill on: 12/13/2010

Have been intently watching this discussion while on vacation. Returned last night and turned on system and one of my three units was given off a very low intensity buzz into the speakers. Detached the power cord and it went away and on replacing the cord all was fine.
Later in the evening after the system warmed up I listened for a few minutes to a recording and then disconnected the power cords to all three units and relistened. While there was a slight improvement in the mid bass and clarity of the midrange, it was not at the level that Romy has been discussing with his system.
Interestingly, when I reconnected the AC cord to the same unit, the buzz reoccurred would only go away if I played with the power cord. As these were supplied with the unit I'm wondering if it might be the cord or the unit's IEC plug which is causing the problem.Was too tired after my plane ride from Europe to experiment further, but you may want to look into this as the possible problem.
