| Looking To Match A Tube Amp With A Pair Of Audio Note AN-K/Spe Outstanding preamp, Scott. | |
| Here is my beef Some of my best purchases on Audiogon were a result of a phone call with the seller. One particular seller years ago kept in touch with me. | |
| Here is my beef Today, I received a direct message (though everyone here calls them PMs) and there it was at the top of the message: don’t try to contact anyone via phone or PM. First time that was ever there. It’s even in a different color so it stands out. But... | |
| DIY Active Ground Box I hope @jea48 reads this thread. He's the man who knows grounding schemes. | |
| DIY Active Ground Box Ok, I see you answered my second question. | |
| DIY Active Ground Box @guakus Something I’m not clear on, ground wires on one end, what will be the termination on the source end of this cable? Wouldn’t the ground wires attach to the grounding box and then go to the Shunyata? | |
| DIY Active Ground Box I don't see the point of grounding one component to the copper filled box. The concept of the grounding boxes on the market is to create a common ground for all the components. All are wired to the box which creates a star-ground; they will have t... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock The 275 is the entry-level amp. It would be interesting to see the schematic of the Raven 350 monoblocks. https://www.bobcarvercorp.com/crimson-raven-features-specs Btw, I'm a Bob Carver fan. | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock Bob started this venture by building these amps and some monoblocks and selling them on Ebay. Of course there was a lot of interest. With each hand-built amp he would make improvements and describe the design elements. I was closely following him ... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock It would be nice to compare this 275 unit with an early model hand-built by Bob himself. I can't imagine he would glue that PCB to the chassis. Additionally, Bob started to use a proper earth ground when he added IEC's to his amps. | |
| Max Roach Lovers: Hear This Colossus is an excellent album and it sounds fantastic on Qobuz Hires. Realistic tonal qualities and separation between instruments, terrific soundstage. Max Roach is at his best. | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @jea48 years ago when I first joined the forum, I bought a Sunfire 300 1st generation which had a 60Hz hum. Almarg was able to help diagnosis that there was no earth ground. Jim, I don’t expect you to remember, but you instructed me how to test t... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock Some of Bob's SS designs also failed to use an earth ground bonded to the chassis. This caused hum when using SE connections due to a difference in ground potential between components. | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 You are one angry dude. | |
| Bonham’s Squeaky Drum Pedal When I was in my late teens thru my 30's I never heard the squeak with my mid-fi system. But I certainly heard my Speed King squeaking. Now that I'm older and progressed to a revealing system, the squeak stands out as if it was part of the music. ... |
