| Tri-Planar grounding question... Dogpile, It is my understanding that it is common among shielded interconnects to connect the shield to the negative wire, which can cause a ground loop since the negative wire often does double duty as the ground.If in the Triplanar, if the shiel... | |

| Copper Mat on Technics sp-10? I found a good and cheap temporary improvement over the rubber mat. I put down an lp as a mat and placed the lp for listening on top of it. Big improvement.Thanks for the help. I'm leaning toward trying a copper mat. It sounds like the carbon and ... | |
| Copper Mat on Technics sp-10? My set-up (if it makes a difference regarding the mat) is a Graham Phantom and Sumiko Celebration or a Denon 103r (and I'd like to try a Benz Ebony LP).Do mats tend to sound like their material, meaning copper and carbon fibre would sound more liv... | |
| BPT 3.5 Signature Plus VS PS Audio Power P Premier I have owned both. In my case, the BPT transformer hummed loudly, so the PPP was the winner. This does not hold true for the P1000 I owned prior to the PPP, which was junk. | |

| Equi=tech 2Q transformer hum, other options? I bought two 1.5Q's. One hummed and one did not. Equitech replaced the transformer in the one that hummed (within the warranty period) and that fixed the problem.I would have hoped Equitech would reject these units during QC testing. | |
| Black Gate caps Where I could find a value match, I replaced all the caps in my Audio Note Dac kit with Black Gate caps, and the improvement in sonics was substantial. | |
| TW-Acustic Arm I feel this thread illustrates a broader phenomenon of the internet: the erosion of hypothesis and observation based peer review in favor of dramatic testimonials and name calling. | |
