| Warm, rich sounding interconnects? Thanks, Inna. Now I can make sense of what I own. | |

| Warm, rich sounding interconnects? Regarding Purist Audio. Did the rev. c’s come before or after the Praesto Revision? My pairs have a warmish sound character, albeit nicely detailed.I’m with @mr_m , where on the timeline are the Rev. C’s? I think Luminist Revision is current and t... | |
| Dedicated Line Noise Filter? who performs an inspection of the property on behalf of the buyer. If the inspector determines that work was done without proper permits and inspections, it's a huge red flag that can not only delay a sale, but require that permits and inspections... | |
| Dedicated Line Noise Filter? Cleeds, that's interesting. The company that I use has about 20 electricians on staff. They come to the house to give a free estimate, then return about a week later to do the work. Perhaps they get the necessary permit before starting the job. Ma... | |
| Dedicated Line Noise Filter? @almarg ... Thanks, Al. Can always count on you. I thought about using shorting plugs a while back, but now I can't remember if they can be used on the UV-1. I'll reach out to Ralph next.What if Lowrider57 has lost a power supply cap or has a crac... | |
| Dedicated Line Noise Filter? did you get construction permits for this project? Was the work inspected by your town's electrical inspector?@cleeds , I just noticed your post. In Philadelphia, a permit is not required for an electrical addition or upgrade in a residence. The l... | |
| Dedicated Line Noise Filter? @jea48 , Thank you so much for taking the time to share what I consider expert advise and knowledge.I'm going to email your information to the electrician and we'll find out what is really going on. (I'm hoping that I'm wrong about how the subpane... | |
| Dedicated Line Noise Filter? I assume neutral and safety ground are not connected together at the sub-panel, which would be a definite code violation and would create numerous potential safety hazards, and possibly noise problems as well. Given that assumption, the main p... | |
| Dedicated Line Noise Filter? Lowrider, my understanding is that a sub-panel should have hot, neutral, and safety ground all wired back to the main service panelAl, that's what I thought. I asked the electrician about code, and he said it meets code and this is how he wired hi... | |
| Speakers for Room Size I used 40" high PSB Synchrony in a 12' x 16' living room, with a half wall on one side and the sound filled the room nicely.You will be listening in a near-field setup, since many full-range speakers need to be pulled forward from the front wall f... | |
| Dedicated Line Noise Filter? Thanks @ivan_nosnibor , I'll look him up.I don't believe it's component related, but tomorrow I plan on removing all power conditioning and surge protectors to eliminate extra circuits and cables.I swapped the SS with a tube amp tonight and the sa... | |
| Dedicated Line Noise Filter? You may be right, gdnrbob. I think the surge/ noise reduction unit was about $700, but I have found some online for less. I get the feeling the electrician will only install the brands that his company uses. He had a binder showing the different u... | |
| Dedicated Line Noise Filter? @winoguy17 , that's a good thought. My SS amp has high gain and was boosting the noise level previously on a shared dedicated line. Since I moved my system to a subpanel with a line dedicated to analogue, the noise floor has been greatly reduced.A... | |
