(CitiCorp), Santa Monica Lines: 19 I have a problem with a pair of Carver 400t amplifiers. The power supply injects noise back into the A/C power line which interfers with the operation of my BSR X-10 control system. I took one amplifier to the local repair shop who, after 6 weeks and several calls to Carver, reports that "this is normal and not a defect". Ok, fine (BEWARE POTENTIAL BUYERS), but what do I do now? How can I filter this mess before it gets to the A/C? Would a "computer protector" style power line filter do the trick? Or an isolation trans- former? What would one of these jobs cost for about 1kwatt of output? Any 39 cent solutions? HELP! The amplifiers SOUND excellent and I don't want to have to junk them and replace with something else. --Kne
