| No love for 70's guitar bands? It's interesting how some of the posters list Zeppelin and Black Sabbath together as favourite bands. Where I grew up in the NYC area and played in garage bands, there were two camps; LZ or Sabbath. In their world they were rivals and as fans we a... | |
| One or two dedicated AC wire ? I hope somebody experienced in this area chimes in, but I don’t think a tandem circuit breaker should be used in this situation.... the 2 dedicated lines would be on separate legs. IME, audio AC lines should be on the same phase and the current dr... | |
| No love for 70's guitar bands? @stevecham , all great stuff covering several decades. If I'm following n80's post correctly, there was a wave of guitar oriented rock groups that were popular in the mid to late 70s, early 80s. Some of them new, some of them formed by musicians f... | |
| No love for 70's guitar bands? Dont get me wrong, I was totally into these bands. And disco sucked. | |
| No love for 70's guitar bands? I saw many of these bands in the late 70s. Boston's first album stands out to me as the most innovative guitar sound and production at that time.As I got older, these bands seemed so homogenized and overproduced.Since I started streaming and redis... | |
| One or two dedicated AC wire ? Your attention to detail with vibration control and system layout is to be commended. Are you in a position to run lines to your service panel?And what power cables and conditioner are you using? | |
| One or two dedicated AC wire ? audiosens, you have a beautiful system and it deserves to have dedicated lines to the service panel. Your power setup has good cables and the distribution block will receive cleaner unrestricted power with dedicated lines. | |
| Shipping by UPS It’s true FedEx hires independent contractors. They wear the company shorts and drive a FedEx truck but each driver owns his own business and routes. Being on the road with nobody to answer to makes for a a lack of pride in their work. | |
| Cleaning the metal face of a Jeff Rowland Model 3 GooGone? Do you really expect to have adhesive residue, crayon, and food stuck to your amp? | |
| Shipping by UPS As a former UPS employee (local sorter then driver) I can say that most damage occurs locally and not during a long distance haul. It’s rarely the driver’s fault. It’s the guys inside the plant who load and unload the package cars for local delive... | |

| Power Amp transformer hum - intermittent and increases and decreases in a few seconds Blue Circle BC86 Power Pillow will not eliminate hum, I own two.If you believe there is DC causing hum, then try the Emotiva. There is a trial period.Is your amp tube or SS? Is the hum only isolated to the amp, or does it also play thru the speakers? | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? @rodman99999 I also had a pair of 6922's; one JAN and one USN matched. Later I upgraded to a pair of Amperex 7308 PQ USA, $400 pair, all from Brent Jesse. The 7308 have the same liquid sonics, but with awesome bass impact. Mine are matched 1960 &... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? @n80, as far as pricing, these tubes are $200+ for 1960s NOS.They are premium military grade, made in USA, with white lettering (orange lettering cost less). Low noise and should last for years.Just to give you an idea of pricing when you shop for... | |
| Qubuz feedback and membership Plan Suggestions @gwbeers, ok thanks, that makes sense. What doesn't make sense is when I find new music and it says 24/192 on the album, I save it as a favorite and it plays back with the CD icon. This is in the Bluesound app. |
