| Isolating Digital Noise, need help. jea, I hope that's a rhetorical question, because I'm going by what I read in the Whitlock paper.Ralph thinks my Sunfire amp may have an atypical grounding design.No, I did not mean it as rhetorical question at all. (I assume the ICs are not long.... | |
| Isolating Digital Noise, need help. I understand the principle of ground-loop in this case because they are connected by an unbalanced line.Please explain it to me, because I don't understand it. | |
| Isolating Digital Noise, need help. so far there is no high-pitched noise when using the stock PC on the ARC. Perhaps the Audience PC is not a good design for a digital device?The IEC connector is probably wired wrong. The Hot and neutral conductors are probably switched, interchang... | |
| Isolating Digital Noise, need help. I was wondering if a power strip with isolated receptacles, such as star-grounding, would be an alternative to a separate AC line.As a test, I now have the CDP connected to a different outlet in my house and the noise thru my system is eliminated.... | |
| Static noise from right speaker icorem,Thanks for the reply. That makes more sense than what I must have been thinking yesterday when I posted my response. LOL, I don’t know what I was thinking yesterday.There is one other thing you might check with the right amp. I assume the a... | |
| Static noise from right speaker it is probably the right amp as I disconnected the ICs totally and swapped speaker cables and noise shifted to the left amp.Doesn't sound the right amp to me. Sounds like maybe a bad speaker cable termination. The speaker cable that started out co... | |
| ProAc sound with SS vs tubes The one caveat was that at the demo, when I played a bass-heavy electronic track and pulled the volume up, the bass started to get flabby and the port started "huffing". I don’t know if that is the technical term, but it felt like the speaker was ... | |
| Help...hum issue with new preamp atmasphere,Couldn't he do the same thing at the end of the two XLR cable connectors that plugs into the preamp? Solder a jumper wire from pin 1 to pin 3 of the female connector.I doubt he would want to void the warranty on the preamp if he did it ... | |
| Help...hum issue with new preamp No I have not contacted Mick from Supratek yet as I'm hoping this can be resolved easily. .Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much. You should contact Atma-Sphere and ask them what you can do to solve the problem.Maybe Ralph, the owner of At... | |
| 15A vs. 20A power cord questions Regarding the phono-pre, this is down the line. I currently only use an integrated and a turntable. Which duplex should the turntable be plugged in to?Not knowing anything about a VPI TT motor I would not plug it into the same duplex receptacle as... | |
| 15A vs. 20A power cord questions It does not take 6-8 months as mentioned above "assuming" you connect constant current drain devices (amps, house fans, etc..) to them and leave them powered on 24x7.LOL.... You might want to take the time and reread my posts. The 6 to 8 months ti... | |
| 15A vs. 20A power cord questions asp307,I would plug the amp into the other duplex receptacle, jmho. I would have both the phono preamp and amp plugged into the same duplex. Analog and analog go together just fine.The CDP would be plugged in the other duplex receptacle. Problem w... | |
| 15A vs. 20A power cord questions Where is the amp plugged into?Not the same duplex receptacle as the CDP? | |
| 15A vs. 20A power cord questions asp307,Glad to hear everything went as planned with the new dedicated branch circuit wiring. I see you ended up going with a single dedicated circuit.4 1/2 hours through burn-in, I love what I am hearing although there is a marine layer of sibilan... | |
| 15A vs. 20A power cord questions asp307,The question should be what impact will a 20 amp dedicated branch circuit have on the sound you hear from your audio system.IF your audio system is now being fed from a 15 amp convenience outlet branch circuit, that more than likely is wire... |
