    Emotiva CMX2 AC Line Filter With DC Offset Eliminator Review and Measurements

    I purchased the Emotiva CMX2 last year to help reduce a hum from a tube headphone amp and it fixed the issue. Fast forward to yesterday my Arcam AVR-850 now has a hum coming from inside the AVR-850. No issues with noise coming from the speakers. I disconnected everything from the back of the...

    Emotiva launched new generation of BasX amplifiers

    New member but I had no problem selling my 1st Gen XPA-2 back in 2016 when I transitioned to a Wyred 4 Sound ST1000MKII that I still use today with my Arcam AVR-850. I still have my 1st Gen XPA-3 in a box in the garage thinking I may use again some day. Maybe it is my location but in SOCAL I...
