| Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power @jerryg123 Thanks Jerry. I have a second Zavfino power cord on the way. I should have prioritized the dedicated line before I went out and spent over a grand on cables, but the first Zavfino cable was such a remarkable change that I could not wait... | |
| Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power @jerryg123 Good advice, thanks. I should have put a couple of dedicated lines in when I did the basement 10 years ago. Such regret that when my nephew told me he was creating a man-cave, I pretty much forced him into putting in dedicated lines..s... | |
| Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power @curiousjim I just ordered an Entech noise analyzer and will provide my results when I get it. Will test the wall outlet and then an outlet on the Panamax I utilize. Have you tried other outlets in your house to see if they all test the same? ... | |
| Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power @jerryg123 Are you using a dedicated line? If you are plugging your gear directly into the wall, how are you protecting from outages (no surge protection) that may damage your gear? I live in a quasi-urban area and my house is only 11 years old.... | |
| Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power @audphile1 Not sure if you are being a wise-guy like your avatar, but you claim that "power is power" is confusing. Evidently, you purchased a 2K Hurricane Power Cord for your Power Amp? So contrary to your remarks, it looks like power handling i... | |
| Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power If, A) is to install a dedicated circuit. And, B) is to purchase a conditioner to clean up the AC on the said newly installed circuit, then it would seem to me that, C) is to skip A, and go straight to B. | |
| Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper @carlsbad Audioquest type 4 & 5 is solid core. Both carry two solid red and black cores for bi-wiring. Audioquest states Type 5 is 15 AWG in total. Stranded speaker cables remind me of the Monster cables I started with in the 90’s, which ar... | |
| Power cable break in? @immatthewj The difference between Romex and audio cables is the insulation. Romex uses PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) with a nylon jacket. Cables utilize a dielectric, or electrical insulator that is polarized by an applied electrical field. Dielect... | |
| Power Cable Suggestions Needed Recently purchased and installed a Zavfino Majestic power cord ($450) on my NAD C298 and the change was beyond WOW. I had been using Pangea and Audioquest (NRG4) and so there was a lot of room for improvement. But it was stark. Since I run two amp... | |
| IsoAcoustics Gaia feet on Oracle Delphi turntable If you tap on the support under your turntable and hear do not hear resonance (sound through your speakers) the built-in suspension of your turntable mfg is sufficient. I put my amps on Isocoustics aperta 200 supports and the sound changed notice... | |
| Power cable dilemma @jrimer If McIntosh used lamp cord in 1990 and here we are today with a plethora of choices...that is a quantum leap IMHO. And to be frank, if you selected a $40 Pangea cable for your Mark Levinson amplifier - as you stated - you should re-evalu... | |
| Power cable dilemma Lifted from the first line on Empirical evidence - Wikipedia: "Empirical evidence for a proposition is evidence, i.e. what supports or counters this proposition, that is constituted by or accessible to sense experience or experimental procedure"... | |
| Power cable dilemma Do you really think that the engineers and designers that produce very expensive amplifiers would include a cheap cord with their product if they had any reason at all to believe that including a better one was necessary to enjoy its full audio q... | |
| Silver Speaker Cables Recently purchased an RCA cable from Lavricables (Master line of 14 strands of 5N silver laden cables) and placed it between my DAC (Schitt Yggy) and my preamp (Rogue RP-1). Previously, and everywhere else, I had/have Audioquest Sydney interconnec... | |
| so, i recorded a type 1, normal bias, on a 70s cassette deck, and it sounds FANTASTIC 8-Tracks provided better bass and highs as Dolby variants outside of "A" decreased volumes in the cassette era. Spent many hours making my own mix tapes and used whatever was available including the Memorex brand. I preferred 90's, which as I reca... |
