| tubes going microphonic always same channel??? Yes they are microphonic. After talking with my dad (an experienced tube electronic tech), he thinks its because the speakers are to close. He didnt feel plate or filament voltage would cause this. Its always the tube closest to the speaker. I ... | |
| tubes going microphonic always same channel??? Thanks I'll have to check that. I wonder if I can find prints for the Cary. Does each cannel have it's own supply then? Do you still own the CD 303? If not what did you end up with? I'm real happy with sound of it.Thanks | |
| tubes going microphonic always same channel??? I was wondering about those.. I know my AR REF II pre has them and I have no issues... Though they 60H30 new tubes.. I really like the sound of the Mullards... Put some Bugle Boy 7316's in last night. The bass isn't as tight like it is with the Mu... | |
| PC & Dedicated Power Lines Questions UPDATE: Bought 3 Porter Ports. Went to install one in the outlet my amps are running off of and found a nice surprise. It was a 12 AWG 20A circuit tied to my dishwasher??? Don't know why it was wired like that. I decided I'd do a comparison, the p... | |
| PC & Dedicated Power Lines Questions I live along the foothills of the Cascade Mountian Range. There is allot of thick tree growth. When it gets real windy, which for some reason the last couple of years have been bad, it blows trees down, especially if its freezing. Mostly big fir t... | |
| PC & Dedicated Power Lines Questions I usually unplug things also when the power goes out, but if I'm not home I can't do that. We dodn't have to many problems with lightning. Nothing like the mid west, lightning usually strikes in the mountians here and causes fires. It's the wind. ... | |
| Legacy Focus HDs Yeah, that is what sucks about rock recordings but vinyl does help that. Never heard that about the stats, but loved the imaging and the way treble and simbles sounded. The summits have good punch. I remeber VPMP's from years ago, big huge 15 driv... | |
| PC & Dedicated Power Lines Questions Larry, thanks for the info and the email. Good stuff. I have been thinking about twisting solid (or stranded) 10 AWG with a drill and doing it that way also. Funny it was my dad that said to do it that way. He say's...LOL.. "in old analog tube com... | |
| Legacy Focus HDs I'm located in WA state. I listen to more types of music now but opera I just can't listen to. Classical is fine but not knowing much about it, it's hard to know what was a good recording. I mostly listen to rock and have a bad habit of playing it... | |
| PC & Dedicated Power Lines Questions The Hydra is a unique conditioner, it really doesn't have much in circuitry inside it. I know it uses MOV's and it's made in the beutifull state of WA where I live. We have lots of wind storms in the winter sometimes causing major power bumps and ... | |
| PC & Dedicated Power Lines Questions I've always agreed with the dedicated lines, but now I wonder what to run as a conductor. The Oflex mentioned above?? I have enough for one run it has a braid sheild and 4 16 AWG conductors with a GND. # 16 is rated @ 10 Amps so I could double the... | |
| PC & Dedicated Power Lines Questions Lak, Thanks for the response. I read your reveiws and all the responses. I'm going to order some Porter Ports to try. I'll have to find your thread on your filtration system. I would like to check that out. For fun last night I plugged my amps int... | |
| PC & Dedicated Power Lines Questions Thanks for the comments and links. I feel PC can make a big difference but are the results worth some of the $$$ asked for the product being sold. Some of the stuff I see makes me laugh, some of it is just SO cord with a fancy cover and Pass &... | |
| Legacy Focus HDs I'm not saying they sounded bad but remember I'm compairing them to my set-up. I haven't heard a Legacy speaker, but I'm interested in them. I will say I love my Vandersteen 3 Sig's. Read my system drescription about when I auditioned amps. I piss... | |
| PC & Dedicated Power Lines Questions Interesting on the Hydra comments, I do get lots of power spikes and such from storms in the winter (WA State). I like the insurance of surge protection, but maybe I won't need the hydra which would free up some space. I've heard good things on th... |
