Calling Vandersteen Subwoofer Users


I have a pair of 2Wqs that I absolutely love. There is a small amount of low frequency hum in my system, though. When I plugged in my components to a PS Audio Quintet, the hum was vastly reduced. So I was thinking that I should plug my 2Wqs into something similar. I think that, since the subs are connected to my amp, that power filtering for them might reduce the hum in my system even more. Can I plug the pair of 2Wqs into one PS Audio Duet without compromising performance? All replies appreciated.

Are you suggesting that as a permanent solution - one power strip for the whole system? Wouldn't I be limiting the amount of AC power for all the amplifiers, RPTV, etc.? Or did you mean to try this temporarily to see if the hum goes away?
I won't break off any grounds, John. Haven't had any time to work on the system. Hope to try it out over the holiday. I will keep posting. Thanks.
well, becasue of the layout of my system, and the number of components already plugged into the Quintet, I don't think I will be able to test things out the way John has suggested. At some point, I will try to borrow a Duet or two and try them out.
