| Best place to live for good quality power Most people have no way of answering this question. Here is what my power looks like in a scope: https://photos.app.goo.gl/kxPz87c8iEVoRxTd7 4.2% THD. I live in a suburb of San Diego. Near a substation, mix of residential and industrial users... | |
| Power cable from wall socket to power strip lots of misunderstanding in this area. 1. Power cannot be "cleaned". it isn't just a nice sine wave with some noise the can be "filtered" out. the sine wave coming into your house looks like crap. Here is a link to a photo of a scope of the... | |
| For Innuos owners I've always operated my streamer that way. I'm not going to go look but I thought the manual even suggested this. I never touch the power switch in the back unless I'm moving it or rewiring something. The remote is kept in a drawer and I don't ... | |
| Is it possible a 20 amp outlet can make a big difference in SQ? @steakster I'm sure I could never impress someone who already knows it all. | |
| How much hum is normal from a new tube amp Is hum from the transformer or from the speakers? Speaker hum is generally from AC heaters and low level is often considered acceptable. Hum from transformers is a different story. power transformer, not output transformer. There are many thre... | |
| Leaving my amplifier on ok? Also, I never leave the house with a tube amp on. | |
| Is it possible a 20 amp outlet can make a big difference in SQ? @steakster You mistake the difference between electrical safety and audiophile sound. for example, the push in stabs are not going to give you audiophile sound with a point contact but they won't get hot or burn the house down. | |
| This e-mail has been cryogenically treated @fredrik222 As a physicist I may have some experience with Data. one of the first things a scientist has to figure out is the difference between good data and bad data. you would benefit from improvement of this skill but is is generally difficu... | |
| Leaving my amplifier on ok? Heat kills. No for class A amps. | |
| This e-mail has been cryogenically treated @fredrik222 It must be true. It was on the internet. | |
| My Heresy IV at 168 hours w/ a change of tubes. Check QS off the list after hearing what caps they use. Other components undoubably match in quality. Jerry | |
| Your experiences with system synergy Out of curiosity, are we talking SETs or push pull amps? | |
| This e-mail has been cryogenically treated Lots of things break while cryo treating. I've never been a fan of cryo. If you want nothing to change, cool it to cryo temps. Physics has never provided a basis for it working on anything. I've also been in several other hobbies where it is t... | |
| Is it possible a 20 amp outlet can make a big difference in SQ? You describe the improvements you get from rectifying an inadequate power problem. You didn't change the power cord at the same time did you? The most common cause of this problem is an inadequately sized (say 14-16 awg) power cord. My guess is... | |
| Can you have too much speaker presence? Size matters. Buy the biggest speaker your will will let you have. |
