Mains sockets and star earth - can anyone explain?
You’ll probably receive a lot of information and advice. Surely, a neighbouring wall plate will have its earth connected to every other wall plate in the room by parallel wiring between the plates. I’ll start with this concept first. If you cu... 
6SN7 GT instead of GTA/B?
When buying vintage tubes, always request noise testing, especially with the older GT version. 6SN7's tend to be more microphonic or noisy than other small signal tubes.   @mulveling  +1. Great info.  
Pink Floyd Quietly Drop 18 Live Albums From ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ Era
They sound like bootlegs, even if they’re official releases. The Japan show has the mic in the audience, others could be soundboard copies. Definitely don’t need 18 of these.   Edit: maybe not even soundboard. Some recordings are all house ambi... 
The best plug in filter ever!
I'm guessing when plugged into the duplex with the power conditioner, the Puron can treat the mains as well as the Core Power unit.  
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
Linlai CV-181H appears to be a Chinese market tube since it’s only available on Alibaba. That doesn’t mean it’s not worth trying. I think research needs to done to see if it’s a drop-in replacement for 6SN7. It’s a CV-181 type tube, not the same ...

I see all these live recordings are now available on Qobuz.  
Soundstage drastically worsened when I replaced a solid state AV amp with tubes.
I agree to remove the extension cord to get back to your baseline.  Once you are all set using both amps, you may need to adjust room treatments (if using them) for optimal soundstaging.

@nasaman  My comment about you buying the last one was tongue-in-cheek since you advised me they would sell out and then you made another purchase. Very decent of Mark to send me a demo unit to try. So, most of your system runs off the Puritan. ... 
Who Here Is Running an AudioNote System and are you In Love?
I believe that the amp, speaker cables, and AN speakers are the heart of an AN system. I only have two upstream components, a DAC into an AN preamp. Based on the wonderful sonic synergy of these components, I would love to add more AN components t...

1 in Puritan 156 and 1 in HFC MC-6 Signature 3D The one in Puritan156 has greater result since my Jeff Rowland amp and Lumin streamer connect into. Along with my series of MC-05s and MC-1s magnets @nasaman  Re: HF MC-0.5's. I experimented wit... 
The best plug in filter ever!
@nasaman  Where do you place the Puron(s) in your system? Have you tried different areas? With HF MC's, plugged into a large power conditioner is least effective.  
The best plug in filter ever!
@nasaman  I'm using four HF MC-0.5's plugged into my system's receptacles (and loving them). I contacted Mark to ask if the Puron could be used with the MC's. He said he can't divulge the technology being used, but it is a different concept and h...
