| Russian Tubes or Old "American" Tubes (built where ever)? P.S. I forgot to mention to do a search for "Joe's Tube Lore". He has done a rather extensive shootout of several different tube families. His results are a good read and a good starting point. Remember, your results will/may vary from his. But H... | |
| Russian Tubes or Old "American" Tubes (built where ever)? Put the Russian's in and see what you think. It's system synergy that we all search for with all of our equipment/part choices.What works for you may not be good for someone else.Consider tubes in audio like spices in cooking.

However I think "Almarg" has hit on the root cause.I have been constantly fighting a ground loop hum that I cann... | |
| DAC drops out when Furnace starts or stops. HELP OK, so I started by changing the digital cable (it was the easiest). I had been using an Audio Envy cable that I really like. Had it about one month. After inserting it into the system I had an occasional drop out but didn't think a lot about it. ... | |
| DAC drops out when Furnace starts or stops. HELP good suggestions. Thanks. I will look into it tonight and report back with results. | |
| comparison of different dedicated AC line types? Thanks for your responses. I am capable of running the wiring myself as I was a mechanical contractor. Thanks to Lak as you have done what I was interested in. I think I will run two different ones to see if I notice any difference in my setup, th... | |
