    It wasn't broken or malfunctioning at all, and hum was only audible from about 12 inches from the unit. It changed the sound I just did not like the change.

    I know I am in a minority of one although IIRC someone else tried one and reported no change at all.

    As an update on transformer hum. When all my gear is turned on the BMU does produce an audible, but low level, hum (mechanical, not through the speakers) However, the rest of the transformers are really quiet - practically silent (even more so than with the 2000VA unit I tried).

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    You should see the size of the cable that feeds the Belkin P30 mains conditioner. It must be at least 1/2" in diameter.

    Yeah, some is, Tour Grade Black (to the woofers). The rest is Linn K400 which is also massive. Essentially there are three runs of speaker cable. The mains cables are all various varieties of Belden.
