Goto www.dezorel.com and download their "Noise Basics" file. It's a good starting point.I don't believe a power cord should be a filter. But, what... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Greg, we just subcontract an extruder--and if it's in Mexico we'll discuss business at the 'restaurant' where my girlfriends work and we'll charge on the Visa (actually the charge says "Restaurant Bar Alvarado"--my kind of place). Get the point?On... | |

| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck An extruder is a very sophisticaded machine--a good one will cost about one million dollars.

| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck I am sending a pair of Marantz Ma-5 Class A Monoblocks (SS) to Stephen Sank for complete overhaul pretty soon. Right now I'm using my oldie but goodie Proton AA-1150 Dual Mono. I just hooked it up to a ONEAC 1.2 KW isolation transformer--it's soun... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck I *know* what I'm talking about--the person that got me into high end and darkroom photography is a friend of my father. He taught me that the most important thing to look for in audio was "resolution". WRONG. Having worked at record stores, every... | |
