I turned on my G68 today to play a CD thru the G91. Quickly heard a hiss through the speakers that turned to a 747 landing in my loft in about 10 seconds. Turned off and then back on and tried playing cable box input with the same result. Repeated a few times over the night with same results. [censored].

The G68 passes through a BAT tube pre-amp into ATC active front and rears (not sure if the rears also had hiss). I played turntable through the BAT pre without a problem. Hence, the problem seems to be in the G68. Unless the input on the BAT that the G68 passess through has a problem, but seems unlikely.

I have already replaced the power supply in G91 once, so first concern in power supply in the G68 (the only good Meridian power supply is no power supply).

Thoughts anyone.
