| Does a brand new electrical circuit for audio gear benefit from burn in/break in time? they do not reseat all connections, power and signal I will certainly give that a try, @ieales . | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? For whatever reason, it hasn't happened since I started this thread. So I just decided not to worry about it anymore. I think that's a good strategy. It's hard to fix something when it's not broken (at least that's what I always say about in... | |
| Greatest Songwriter of all time @backwash , unfortunately I am not too familiar with Lyle Lovett's work, but You can't talk about song writes without Steve Earle or Lyle Lovitt I am in total agreement with you as related to Steve Earle's song writing--so much so that I prev... | |
| Does a brand new electrical circuit for audio gear benefit from burn in/break in time? Without question it does get better give it a week ,just like speaker cables and use good gold copper outlets the garbage that are on your wall is $3 buy good outlets and always copper,never aluminum wire ! @audioman58 , is there an outl... | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? @xcool , did you ever get to the bottom of this? The reason it came back to my mind was (unrelated to the SLP-05 specifically) I was reading a customer review of a brand of 5AR4 rectifier tube and a pop or thud heard through both channels was me... | |
| Dedicated Line - Things to consider @immatthewj please let us know what you’ve heard as a result of the test when you get around to it I will do that, @audphile1 , and let us know what you wind up doing as far as your dedicated circuit(s) go. I actually hate doing sonic comparis... | |
| Soundstage drastically worsened when I replaced a solid state AV amp with tubes. Maybe the Mac 275 doesn't like the McIntosh MX123 A/V processor? | |
| Does a brand new electrical circuit for audio gear benefit from burn in/break in time? Sonic memory is an ephemeral thing. I had to look up the definition of "ephemeral" but I completely agree with you. After listening to something I can come away with impressions and feelings and emotions about it, but then later on down the l... | |
| Does a brand new electrical circuit for audio gear benefit from burn in/break in time? I’ve sort of given up on scientific explanations- I just roll with it, pray to the audio gods, and if it all turns on and doesn’t blow up, I consider it a successful day. :) @whart I guess I am kind with you on that. I’d always kind of like a s... | |
| Dedicated Line - Things to consider That’s exactly what I’m hoping for - lower noise floor. And that is a huge improvement if that’s what the outcome will be. @audphile1 , okay, so this is where some of the disagreement comes up, and I am not saying that I am in either camp (yet)... | |
| Help and Advice Needed: Cary Audio SLP-05 Preamp RMA Disaster My interaction with the Quality Service Manager is probably the worst customer service experience I have ever had. Not only was he willing to say things to me that are simply wrong, he is unable to listen to a customers concerns and address them.... | |
| Dedicated Line - Things to consider I don’t know this to be an audio-fact, I am only surmising, but I suspect that it is possible that the effects of RF might not always be a detectable/audible hum or buzz. I think it might also produce a grain that you wouldn’t even realize you wer... | |
| Dedicated Line - Things to consider I don’t think I have ever heard of anyone that has disputed this outcome, as in everything else about high end audio. @ghdprentice , however there does appear to be plenty of dispute related to the best way to go about implementing this upgrad... | |
| Dedicated Line - Things to consider . . . here is another one that I remember being basically about one vs multiple circuits . . . | |
| Dedicated Line - Things to consider . . . here is one that I started after reading the previous one that I pasted got me wondering about a single circuit vs multiple circuits . . . and just quite recently, Emergingsoul started a thread in the amps/preamps forum about putt... |
