Shunyata Altaira Grounding Station ........has anybody purchased this new product ?
Jea, quit putting words in my mouth. I never said anything of the sort. I said people populate the internet with stories of ground wires to blocks of this and that and they make better music. I simply tried it myself, measured and heard nothing. I... 
Channel D Lino C vs. Sutherland Little Loco
The Rada is a SUT with tube gain.   I have the upgraded resistors and phase, mono, rumble.  It was fun to flip the switches for a while.  I never touch them now.   If you have rumble, address the feedback in your stand.  Phase??  Well, maybe.  It...

What's your point Jea?  
Channel D Lino C vs. Sutherland Little Loco
I have heard both in the same room. Head to head. Actually it was a Loco. Not the little Loco. Let me put it this way. The Lino is a better built piece of equipment with engineering designed to keep noise out and the music natural. The Lino is pre... 
Shunyata Altaira Grounding Station ........has anybody purchased this new product ?
@holydean I dug around Shunyata site and did not find where Calin talks about grounding with a bar of copper and 16 awg wire. Can you point it out. I have tried a few times in the past to make this type of install work. I have a 1/2" thick OFC c...

Per post 1596 Ccomment 1.  Yes, this is where I find metal encased inwall wire to be a benefit. It is very good at rejecting EMI from surrounding wiring.  I know that is not the intent of your comment.  But its the point that EMI radiation is a r...

I feel there are many types of people out there.  Some are very fixed on the numbers.  They need to see measurements and they base their decisions on them.  I started as an installer.  I worked in the field and followed the plans.  Later I became ...

Interesting question. A little while back I had a project where I had to run 55 feet, 2 circuits in one pipe on the outside of a house. I spun the hot and neutral only on the 2 circuits and pulled the grounds loose in the pipe. I measured 0 mv bet...

AQ, Shunyata, Isoteck, Torus are all filters with their own technology.  And Voice.  I was pretty pissed when TAS did an article on power conditioners and failed to mention an isolation transformer.  Isolation transformers are in most every record...

Jai, I replace MC because of ground issues.  I experience it in the field.  I really could care less about EMF issues.  You can deal with that in the field.  More EMF issues arise behind your rack than in the wall.  If you know how to run wire.   ...

It’s not hard to make the comparison between 1 leg and 2 when you have gone through multiple systems and step by step made 1 change then listened.  It makes a difference.  And anyone that is caught up on just focusing on the phase line and voltage...

I disagree with most everything Minorl says.  Keep it all on one leg. It matters. It not about the noise. If you have a good system, say AR Ref amps and an Esoteric CD player, you will hear it.  It will be more clean and clear.  If you have a Car...

Well, I typed for 1/2 an hour then stepped away and it all disappeared.

I found some MC in my shop.  Its 1 twist every 5.25 inch.  I twist 1 twist every 2 inch.

Remember the Dead Poets Society when Robin Williams told the kids to stand on their desks.  To see the world from a different perspective.  I don't even know if you all have put your boots on the ground.  Wiring an AV room is not the same as wirin...
