| Lifting grounds in the system. I you really feel the need to degrade your sound then do install that GFI breaker. Good old fuses sound better, ceramic is best. Several threads on this under "dedicated lines". | |

| Need opinions on the ead 1000 amp? No personal experience here, but I was told that in 2 channel mode you get a whopping 1000 watts/ch. at 8 ohms. Must have a motha power supply! EAD makes some great stuff; do some research, this could be a very good thing. | |
| Golden Tube Audio Here's the search results: Golden Tube has disappeared; try the "unofficial" golden tube mailing list at http://golden_tube.listbot.com Martin Mcguire works for Soundtechnologies. His company does repair work on Golden Tube. Phone # 408-356-333... | |
| Adcom? Always "up to something" Sean? Yes I've been known to 'stir the pot' a bit now & then if that's what you're referring to :~) Then again, you realize that my point-of-reference is a bit above that level - but no, business here at the uplink ha... | |
| I don,t Understand ???? Mistake or not, I'm also quite surprised & pleased by Synergistic's (Scott Novak) change-of-heart, so I'll make some additional favorable comments just as others have followed up above. Although I still feel like their prices are insane, I am... | |
| Golden Tube Audio keep digging: someone previously mentioned a source months ago. I may do an archive search myself - been wondering too... | |
| To tone control or not to tone control You can still find tone controls, even variable turnover(along with a tone-bypass-defeat button) on the really nice preamps such as Accuphase, Cello, Luxman; they've been doing it that way for many years. You get the best of both that way, but the... | |
| I don,t Understand ???? Jay it seems that you called it right: "we'll only do it if you REALLY make it worth our while". I once requested an upgrade (as they advertise & seemingly encourage buyers to do) adding active shielding to a discrete-shielded cable pair. The ... | |
| Adcom? Adcom has ben around for a long time; I have no experiences with it, but very probably is a safe buy for 'entry-level' highQ equipment. However - Carver / Sunfire would get my vote for the "Bose" of electronics. | |
| Cable / Upgrade Recommendation Raise the power cond. off the floor? Hey I'm gonna try that! I have a Chang Lightspeed 3200 & a 9900 Amp; they even came with spikes but I never used them - doh! Thanks! Glass shelves - No No is right! Now here's a few more basic tweaks for ... | |
| Cable / Upgrade Recommendation NoMoney raises a valid point re: the synergy issue. Mgs: It esp. seems that those "garden" ic's may be a definite roadblock. Somewhat hard to intrepret the initial post: I think he has T2 spkr. cables already? Now for that shelf question again...... | |
| Cable / Upgrade Recommendation Pods alone are amazing, but there's still more to be had! I have Black Diamond shelves under my components, which are also amazing but rather pricey. Put some Vibrapods between your rack & the shelf (B.D., MDF, Nuance, or whatever shelf you pr... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Not all EE's are so stubborn-minded so don't go classifying everyone here along with the rest of 'em. This from an old-school "wire-is-wire" EE who's finally HEARD the light! My testing is blind too - blind faith, because I don't fully understand ... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Please forgive my ignorance but what's the explanation of this Rhubarb acronym that y'all are throwing around - am I missing a good joke here? |
