| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement @laynes The heater (or furnace) requires a dual-core breaker when current is 30A or higher. It takes up two breaker positions and uses both Legs of the electrical service. 15 & 20V standard breakers are used in lower current situations. Yo... | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement questionable interpretations of how things work @theaudioamp You're new here. What an insulting statement. @jea48 's knowledge and advice is above reproach. Jim's interest and expertise has helped solve the issues of many members over the year... | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement @laynes Just to review; you have one dedicated 20A line to the service panel. The audio system used the last available breaker (if it's one line, the electrician would have used a standard breaker). Look at the panel, are there any breakers for ... | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement When I mentioned audio, he laughed and said to keep my money. If you aren’t worried about voltage drop when the ac or refrigerator cycles, your at the mercy of the power grid. Get a new electrician. As stated in this thread, there's more to it... | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement I agree with @ghdprentice including the adding of another line (same length cable as the others). Regarding power conditioners, I have (2) 20A dedicated lines and use power conditioning to lower the noise-floor. I live in an old neighborhood in P... | |
| High Fidelity Cables? @jerryg123 Yes, Cable Company has always distributed HFC products and now the Q45. What I'm wondering is the Mad Scientist contact enhancer a good copy or did Rick license his formula. I doubt the latter. | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement need to look at your panel, you want if possible to have the dedicated line on the opposite LEG of the panel from motors; AC, Freezer, Fridge…. Start there…. Tomic is correct. Before putting the blame on the power grid, separate the noise produ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables? https://www.madscientist-audio.com/graphene_ce.html How can there be such a difference in price? What kind of distribution deal did Rick make, any guesses? | |
| High Fidelity Cables? Rick's creations were well-built and an outstanding use of technology. But he had a terrible business plan. How many $10,000 cables did he think he would sell? The more affordable products were very successful, it's evident in all the threads on d... | |
| Seeking suggestions for 6922 tubes +1 @dekay . Great advice. | |
| Seeking suggestions for 6922 tubes I have a AN UK DAC2.1x Sig. I’ve used 6922 Tele gold pins, 6922 Amperex Holland PQ, and 7308 Amperex/Philips SQ. I doubt you’ll find any true NOS Telefunken. I agree with those who suggested Siemens for sonics similar to Tele’s although they don’... | |
| Newbie seller So true. The USPS tracking system very often doesn't update. I wouldn't be surprised if the buyer has the item. Don't you think he would have contacted you if he didn't receive it? | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Don's preamp is a work of art. And the tubes fit quite well, enjoy them. | |
| Is there a strategy in preamp tube placement? @xcool The noise testing service is somewhere on the Brent Jessee site, $10/pair I think. You have to request it in your email to him. With 6SN7s from the 40's or 50s, I always order noise testing. In Brent's description he may say a certain tu... | |
| Is there a strategy in preamp tube placement? @xcool I own two pairs of Ken Rad VT-231 black glass and a pair of clear glass (1945). When purchasing these tubes or others from the 40’s, it’s imperative that the dealer offers testing for noise and microphonics. Andy from VTS, Kevin Deal, Bre... |
