| Hum on Tube Amp - Can't find source Have you tried using a cheater-plug? It removes the ground from the circuit, this will check for a ground-loop. | |
| More digital clean up Instead of buying a LPS for my Verizon router, I hooked up a spare Brick Wall power strip with RFI/EMI filtering. There was a noticeably lower noise-floor ( it is a power conditioner) and all RFI was filtered out. I confirmed this using my tester.... | |
| Okay to use RCA adapter on a fully balanced amp? @mulveling Nicely done. | |
| Okay to use RCA adapter on a fully balanced amp? Use a Jensen Iso-max transformer instead of the adapter; RCA in, XLR out. It's not truly balanced but will eliminate any noise during the conversion. | |
| Flat Screen Television behind speakers When the glass of my flatscreen is exposed, the mids to highs sound a bit thin. Music lacks body and fullness in those areas. | |

| Are solo efforts ever better? @bdp24 Maybe Monster could also mean popular. Pure Prairie League sure qualifies. Also Brinsley Schwarz, agree with you about Nick Lowe and Dave Edmonds (super talented). I must say I was a Blondie fan from the beginning, seeing the band play i... | |
| Are solo efforts ever better? @bdp24 I'm not sure I understand your breakdown of solo artists, it doesn't follow @chayro 's original post. Are you saying Debbie Harry was better solo than when she fronted Blondie? And Clapton, you don't mention Cream. Was his solo career be... | |
| Vacuum Tube Break-in But tubes get hot and metals change when they glow. I do believe tube burnin is significant...it isn't always positive. Agree with @carlsbad and I'll add that the circuit and the entire chain may determine if you hear these changes. I use al... | |
| Kate Bush I’ve been a fan since 1978 as well, I first heard her played on college radio. I bought each original LP release over the years from TKI up to The Red Shoes (UK only in 1993). Also own the original box set of UK CDs and a VHS of her videos release... |
