| Another dedicated circuit question Ground loops only occur if there is actual ground current, even if the grounds themselves are less than ideal, so this is not always a given. @erik_squires , could you expound on that for me (as I am somewhat electronically illiterate)? By th... | |
| ARC ref 110 tube bias prob @willmarchant , I may be missing something, but that is interesting that you would have a tube with no bias reading but it would still sound good? When my Cary amplifier went into a bizarre biasing mode on one channel, one of the things I was ad... | |
| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps Thank you, @xcool , I must have been feeling romantic at the time. | |
| Another dedicated circuit question @apogeum , thank you for that input. I am just about finished up. I did didn't do anything at all yesterday or Sunday, but I am just about ready to get up in the attic and wallow in the insulation and finish that part up. I want to reroute som... | |
| ARC ref 110 tube bias prob @jjss49 , I used to have a pair of ARC VTM120s that would take out grid resistors on the CB enough that I got proficient at replacing them. Is this biasing resistor in a difficult location to get to, or might it be something that OP could de-solde... | |
| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps Tubes are kind of like living beings. You put them in when they are brand new, the early spring of their life, and they are stiff and awkward. As they get some hours on them they start to breathe and take on more life. As they begin to mature,... | |
| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps @aseaman007 What is better to own cost wise sound advantage single ended and push pull ? Did anyone answer this part of your question? I may have missed it, I am basically blind in one eye, and I do miss things. My understanding of electroni... | |
| Another dedicated circuit question @ditusa thank you for that. There is a Fastenal store close to where I live that theoretically sells them. @dodgealum don’t worry about a hijack (which it is not); I have had most of my questions mostly answered. But this type of thread seems to ... | |
| Another dedicated circuit question @jea48 thank you for the added input. A couple of things with a question(s) added: About my breaker arrangement on my panel: I typoed again in previous post. There now are FIVE breakers on the leg I used for the 3 circuits I just added. From th... | |
| Another dedicated circuit question @erik_squires thanks for getting back to me. Only 4 things will be on these/this circuit(s). My SA10 SACD player, my pre, my amp and my powered sub. So going by your above post, nothing really needs to be segregated from anything else? And I... | |
| Another dedicated circuit question With that typed, I was ASSUMING that a 20A breaker should not only be in front of, at minimum, 12 gauge wire, but also a 20A breaker. @jea48 thanks for getting back to me. The above was a bit of a typo that I can no longer correct on the post i... | |
| Another dedicated circuit question @erik_squires I often read to hastily & miss detail. I was back into your blog and rereading some more, and after clicking on links that took me to Amazon, I note that the PST-8D at MD has a couple of digital outlets (obviously to put a CD/S... | |
| Vintage tube sound from a modern amp @oddiofyl , that one is a looker. If it sounds like it looks, I bet it is killer. | |
| Vintage tube sound from a modern amp Cary used to wire their amps point to point. I don't know for sure if that still holds true, although I think it does. I do know that my Cary SLP90 (pre) is wired point to point, but the SLP05I recently picked up is PCB. | |
| Another dedicated circuit question Thanks, @jea48 , as I previously typed: electrical is a weak subject for me. After that first of about three ’dedicated circuit’ threads, one of the things I THOUGHT I came away with was that a 20A breaker meant a 20A circuit & needed a 20A o... |
