My air condition is connected to same wall socket as STA-9. Amp is whistling when AC is on.
So I'm also thinking about some regenerators.

Air conditioned -> add DC at mains. If your amp has a big toroidal (500VA or more)... hum and hot.

I have "tons" of DC (up to incredible 2.8Vdc - 50 Hz/230Vac in Spain) and RFI/EMI in my house but now I have resolved the problem  :D

The regenerators add more noise. And the power conditioners do not have a DC blocker (only is optional in one model).

Trust me, before buying expensive devices first you must solve your problems with power mains.

You can order the preamp with XLR-outputs.

Eric, how will you describe Hattor Pre Amp for transparency?
Which model do you have?

In my opinion the Hattor pre amp is open and transperant.
I have the "cheapest" version.

Is it ok to place one STA-9 on top of another STA-9?
No risk the items get to hot?

Don't stack one on another one, footers will be melted and then Jason will punish you on public.  :rotflmao:

If seriously - not good idea. It's rather hot.

by the way - I will get tomorrow second STA-9.  :D

Looking forward to hear about it.
Will you use them as mono blocks or biamp?

For bi-amping I will need 4 amps. It will be overkill, my dealer will commit suicide.  :green:

To be clear - I took it for test and reviewing only.

Monoblocks. I tried to switch it on with 1 amp. It has great prospects, no doubts.

I also thought about melted footers, but then I found this picture at www.nuprime.com.

You can biamp them with just two units. The sound is amazing!

That's what I will do tomorrow.

I already started to jump on my coach from sit position. Coach also should be prepared for tomorrow's Act of Revellation. My neighbors still don't suspect anything.  :violin: :drums: :banana piano:

Actually I could control 4 channels from my AMR DP-777 but I need to resolder XLR connectors from his side.

I don't get it.
First you say you need 4 amps for bi-amping and now you will bi-amp with 2 amps. Did I misunderstand you?  :o

We didn't understand each other.

I will connect 2 bridged amps to 2 speakers. By 1 pair of speaker cables.

As far as I know you can't have a bi-amp connection with 2 bridged STA-9. If you use bridged STA-9 you need 4 of them to have a bi-amp connection.
