| Lifting the Ground Rockyboy, depending on the resolution of your system and the quality of line conditioners one should be able to hear a much lowered noise-floor, better soundstaging and imaging, and less negative sibilance. And perhaps improvements in other catego... | |
| Lifting the Ground Jea48, as you probably know most all components have 3 pronged connectors for AC. But as you point out a few will only have two. My old APL 3910 had only two because APL snipped off the grounding blade at the IEC connector exiting out of the chass... | |
| Lifting the Ground Generally, lifting or floating the ground does indeed improve sonics. Unless perhaps you had a dedicated ground like a copper pole going 6ft into the earth for just the audio circuits/lines.For most of us without dedicated grounds, the common grou... | |
| Pwr. conditioner necessary w/dedicated AC lines? Denf, I stand by my previous statement, one must do their homework regarding any component but particularly with line conditioners.For some reason, as I and others seem to have indicated, on average there seems to be far more poorly designed line ... | |
| What speakers play the loudest cleanly ? I'm part of what appears to be a very, very small camp who thinks if one focuses first on proper line conditioning, vibration management, interconnects, and speaker cables, you may find that far more speakers will play clean at even extreme volume... | |
| What's your experience with FedEx Claims You do not have to show what you paid for the item but it makes life easier to end the dispute.If the guitar were free to you as a gift, it still retains the same market value.What you have to demonstrate is that somebody else is willing to pay $3... | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks Scientist73, it should not be surprising that removing your previous line conditioner actually improved your sonics.Now that you can hear that not all line conditioners are necessarily good or created equal, you might consider looking for 'proper'... | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks I suggest trying the following:1. Ensure the cd player is not on the same circuit/lines as the amps and preamp. cd players and dacs generate much digital noise which is bi-directional meaning it goes back into the lines and infiltrates the other c... | |
| Basic Room Tuning for Dummies Not to downplay proper room acoustic treatments, the very first thing I suggest doing is investing lots of time with speaker placement.When it comes to room acoustic basics, speaker placement within the room is by far the most significant factor. ... | |
| Plug in amp and suwfoorer to line conditioner? Nrostov and DrrDiamon offer sound advice.Amplifiers, even smaller current drawing ones, demand certain amounts of current for loud and/or complex musical passages. If anything else is on this same circuit/line, even a 40 watt light bulb, it can be... | |
| To cryo or not to cryo You gotta' love the relativists... nobody else does :) | |
| To cryo or not to cryo I understand there are right and wrong processes to properly cryo-treat a product. And it might benefit you to read up on the proper procedures and then ask Chris at BPT what his procedures are.There is the somewhat rare chance that some damage co... | |
| What to do with dedicated power lines..help please Detebbutt, You pose good questions. But the correct answer is not necessarily so easy as there are numerous things to consider. For example:o Why only two dedicated circuits/lines? You obviously have more than 2 components and the ideal situation ... | |
| Isoclean fuses: definitely worth it Greg, interesting that you mentioned the elimination of a bit of grain or veiling as those were just a few of the benefits I experienced as well with the IsoClean fuses on the inside rails (4 of them) of my old amp after about 48 hours of burn-in.... | |
| Using a 220v amplification equipment in the US My understanding is that with 220v, your equipment will be sound more pristine (lowered noise-floor, etc.) and run a bit more efficiently or effortlessly.Since you would or should be running dedicated circuits/ lines for each component, then those... |
