Very Interesting Audio Website
Swampwalker, he uses Colossis on top. I don't know what he uses for the bottom, it's not gotten it out of the box yet. 
electrical phase
Glen, regarding your comment: There's no way to separate a 2-pole 220v breaker to one side or the other. I think we all know that? No matter what you do the noise from your 220 circuits will always be present on either side of the panel. Looks lik... 
electrical phase
I am reading the two phases that come into the house, the third phase as mentioned already, goes to the big commercial AC unit that keeps us comfortable during the hot Texas summers. 
Gryphon amps.
Good response Detlof. As noted by Gregm we were ask to vote between two great transistor amps, which I did.Truth is, I do not own any transistor gear other than my television and Sony SACD player. Even the surround system is tube, with Atmasphere ... 
electrical phase
I am reading 241 Volts phase to phase with a Fluke 2860 A. Phase to ground is 120 on each leg.On the topic of this thread. Would audiophiles not benefit from my suggestion of keeping one of the two 120 volt supplies as the primary power for the st... 
electrical phase
Glen, I have three phase as pointed out in my post, it is 120 / 240 as I mentioned already.My comments are correct for my particular configuration and did explain that there are two supplies coming into my home. Are you saying that in most home el...

To switch or not to switch.....
It is possible with the best analog rigs, to have stunning playback of your music with a background silence that is as quiet as digital. There is tape hiss on some old reissued masters, but the same noise appears on CD as well.I am not saying that... 
electrical phase
Electrical comes into most homes in the US at 240 volt, phase one and phase two.This means phase one @ 120 Volts and phase two at 120 Volts. These together such as to a clothes dryer or electric oven is how you arrive at 240 Volts.If problematic h... 
Gryphon amps.
If we are discussing the top models from each company, I prefer the Gryphon. Rowland is one of my favorite transistor amps, and I would normally choose it over almost any other brand you could have thought of, in this case though you mentioned my ... 
LAST???? Has anybody tried this?
What is funny about the last few comments ( including my own ) is the fact that this topic is related to the discussion of Last Record Preservative.This product is highly volatile. After applying a small amount to the applicator brush, you must ac... 
Your choice of EL34's
Mwalsdor, I have a good friend who has the exact opinion as you concerning the double D getter Amperex tubes. In the Tube Research and Wolcott amps I preferred the Mullard XF 1 and 2 over the Amperex, but then again, it is a circuit thing.The Tube...
