English langauge instructions for Gran Finale ?
Aloha Simon,I don't have the HMS speaker cables, but I have all HMS Gran Finale IC's. I concur with Mike's instructions. After listening through all of the different settings, I too found neutral as the best. There was a dramatic thinning of the s... 
I have dedicated lines, but why is this happening?
One more question regarding Warrenh's post about a dedicated ground.Sean, I searched your posts on isolated grounds here and I am still not sure I understand it.When we installed my dedicated lines we used 12ga. Romex and 20 amp breakers. We ran e... 
I have dedicated lines, but why is this happening?
Thanks for all of your replies.The dedicated lines do not share neutral lines. I helped the electrician pull and install the lines.I don't believe the problem could be a result of corroded or loose wiring as we just built the house a year ago so e...

Noble, if the Syrah was close to the First Sound with only Ken Rads and Tung Sols, then you didn't hear 50% of what the Syrah is capable of producing. Rolling 6SN7's made the least difference in my Supratek. A change in the rectifier to a NOS Mull... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Ken, I have questioned the same thing. I have wondered myself if the umbilical cord could be limiting the Supratek at all. After hearing what power cords and great IC's can do, I am very curious about what gains a replacement for the stock umbilic... 
Does removing the plastic covers on caps help?
If you find that damping works or makes a difference on your BG's, I would be very interested to hear about it.I have been considering removing all of the plastic, but now I am reluctant.Aloha,Warren

David, I agree. I have been through all of the regulators and the WE 350 B's are the cats meow. 
Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet?
I vote to leave the thread in !Time will tell if the amp is praiseworthy and the price of admission is cheap. So where's the problem with leaving the thread here ?Unless the problem is that this little amp truly is capable of embarrassing some of ...
