Actually the ground issue is not too much of a problem. I do not consider that it would come from the PP2000 itself. I only mentioned it because the hum manifests itself in a distinct way with the PP2000.

I will try the typical ways of tracking down the hum soon. Maybe I will listen with the unit unplugged. I wonder if having the unit unplugged but still having the 3rd prong ground attached to a true earth ground would be a good idea? That would solve the worrying about noise from the ceiling fan. Totally unplugged. I will have to try it. However, honestly, the sound is so consistently good, I have had no desire to really change anything at all. I have just left it alone and played the music.

I am surprised by the impact this little informal thread has had. Apparently it has got people to go out and buy the APS products. I hope they are happy; it is not always a good idea to go by the words of a couple of folks who have only been listening to a new device a few days. The Good Sound Club has only a core of a few regular participants, I always thought, but I guess it has about 500 members, mostly silent, and many more visitors, too.

Today, the HF increased a bit more and began to soften some as well. You know the little trick when the stereo is playing in the next room and you hear part of the recording and think it is a "real" noise from outside? Well, it happens 100% of the time now. But that is just the foundation, on which the house of the Sound is built. It continues to construct itself more each day. Very interesting...
