| Star Grounding The water entrance (street side of the meter) is one of the better grounding eletrode sources. Code requires it if it is in your home. | |
| Star Grounding I really need to say something here. All of your gronding electrodes need to terminate at your main AC neutral in the first means of disconect on your electrical service. This is code period! There is a reason for this. By creating a seperate grou... | |
| Maximum USPS Money Order is 700. I believe that USPS MO's are .75 @. Cashiers checks run $25.00 at my bank. Any check can have a "hold" or "stop payment" placed on it and you won't find out until it doesn't clear. So you don't ship until it clears. A USPS MO clears instantly at t... | |
| HUM dilemma Can anyone solve This one? I'll make some assumptions and some suggestions. I assume that you you do not have a dedicated circuit since you mentioned the dimmers are on the same circuit. A dedicated circuit (or 2) might help. Have you checked the polarity of your wall outle... | |
| Ground for Cable TV Hummmmmmmmmmm Where the CATV enters your home, it should be connected to a "grounding" block. From the grounding block a #10 solid should connect to your grounding electrode. The grounding electrode is the rod for your AC serice entrance. Your telephone protect... | |
| what is it like to mix tube and solid.. Classe amps and tube pre amps work very well together. I have a AR LS15 pre with CA-400 amp and MIT Proline Shotgun Med Imp IC. They work great for me. Good luck! | |
| Classe CP-35 pre and Classe in general I also run fully balanced. I've spoken with several others who also hear it in their systems. It's barly audible right at the drivers. Had it with both CA-100's and the 400. It's probably AC line noise related. Right now it's not worth my time to ... | |
| Classe CP-35 pre and Classe in general One more thing, with the amps, there is a quiet low level whoosh that you will hear if you place your ear against the speaker. You'll never hear it any other way. It's not a bad thing, it's just there, it means nothing. I've noticed this with all ... | |
| Classe CP-35 pre and Classe in general I've owned the Model 30 pre, DR6 pre, (2) CA-100's, CA-400, CDP.3, DAC-1 and CDT-1. The Model 30 (I think) is the first version of the "35". I got a lot of enjoyment out of it. I have always had seperate remotes with Classe equipment. I can't comm... | |
| Tube preamps under 2K with 2 outputs? I'm quite pleased with the Audio Research LS15. It has 1 single ended output and 2 balanced outs | |
| How do people dust their systems? I try to maintain the illusion of clean. So long as you don't disturb the dust it's fine. But once you touch it, you have to clean everything. | |
| How to get rid of transformer hum? Tommy, have you tried to power these amps at another local? Away from your home? I saw that the mfg stated that its a power problem. I may not be an EE, but I have over 20 years in the field and 9 times out of 10 its not the equipment or the power... | |
| How to get rid of transformer hum? I realize that you have measured a 5% sine dip. But are you certian that this is the cause of the hum? I have tracked down a lot of hum problems and most are generated from within the home. I will relate my own personal experience. I always had a ... | |
| Low level Tuner Signal Bleed Through? I have a MD102 and have the same thing happening. Power off to the tuner, but the tuner input on in the pre signal path. I thought that I heard Dire Straits coming out of the speakers! So I'm not crazy after all. | |
| Help with DAC follow up It is my understanding, that a jitter reduction device (Monarchy DIP or =) is almost a must when you mix and match DAC and Tansport brands. While I have noticed subtle improvements with my Classe CDT-1 and DAC-1 wth the DIP, you may notice drastic... |
