| Digital coax cable, real world experiences? @uberwaltz,Did you try my suggestion of flipping the digital cable end for end to see if you could hear a difference? It won’t cost you a dime......Here is a quote from an old Stereophile article from 1993. Changing the direction of the digital in... | |
| Digital coax cable, real world experiences? @ uberwaltz,Agree, not all S/PDIF coax cables sound alike.Here is a quote from almarg for a few possible reasons why. almarg7,489 posts 10-09-2015 1:45pmJadedavid, the reason that a length of 1.5 meters is often recommended for digital cables is ... | |
| Using contact cleaner in tube sockets cleeds, "Refer servicing to your authorized Audio Research dealer or other qualified personnel." As a rule retubing an amp should not require sending it back to the factory or to a qualified manufacture service center. ARC should have made mention... | |
| Using contact cleaner in tube sockets For cleaning tube socket female contacts and male tube pins I use isopropyl alcohol. | |
| Using contact cleaner in tube sockets I have always wondered why ARC neglected to mention in the owner manual that came with the VT50, VT100, Vt100 mkll, and VT200 that when replacing the small driver and input signal tubes they would need to be biased. There is no mention of it at al... | |
| Using contact cleaner in tube sockets Were the 6922 individually numbered showing which tube socket they were to be plugged into? Look near the base of the tubes for V1 through V8. If marked install tubes per diagram in owner manual.Power tubes should be marked as well. (They are eas... | |
| Using contact cleaner in tube sockets @ sgonzalez33 My ARC VT100mkii which I just got, has a crackling from one of the channels. The tubes are new. When I first installed the tubes, it was fine. New tubes? Installed and biased by someone who knew what he was doing?You can’t just swap... | |
| To Float or not to Float... weebeesdad said: 09-16-2017 7:54pm Now that I have switched to a different power cord, there is no more buzzing or noise, and all grounding switches are set at "float". I would say that rules out an interconnect/s causing the buzzing problem. Au... | |
| To Float or not to Float... @weebeesdad ,No danger at all. The switch only lifts the audio circuit from the chassis ground.(The AC mains safety equipment ground) The AC mains safety equipment ground remains connected to the chassis at all times. In the event of a Hot to chas... | |
| To Float or not to Float... weebeesdad OP54 posts 09-12-2017 12:48pmThanks for all of your responses. Cleeds triggered the solution when he (or she) wrote "a properly grounded power cord", which rem... | |
| To Float or not to Float... John Curl does not lift the AC mains safety equipment ground from the chassis on the JC 1 amp. "TECHNICALLY SPEAKING", page 14 3. Use the Ground switch on the JC 1 to eliminate most ground loops. This separates the JC 1’s signal input ground ... | |
| To Float or not to Float... georgehifi2,768 posts 09-14-2017 10:39pmAlso look at the fact that you can buy mains earth cheater adaptor plugs, which give you the option to float the earth of that piece of equ... | |
| To Float or not to Float... georgehifi2,768 posts 09-14-2017 10:08pmNo it’s you that doesn’t understand, as interconnect shields are kept at earth potential, some thorough a very low ohm resistor, if they weren... | |
| To Float or not to Float... georgehifi2,766 posts 09-14-2017 7:50pmYou clearly don’t know or understand.It still has to get a total system reference earth via the interconnect shield, if you disconnected that... |
