| star grounding question... Correction: My electrician said that I was okay with 8 gauge wire up to 80 feet- I'm pretty sure, (not 180 ft), after which time I need to use 6 gauge wire.I know that he said 8 gauge was the proper wire to run for code for my 65' run to sub panel... | |
| star grounding question... Jea48-Yes, that sounds accurate. I watched the whole process. Also, my electrician said that 8 gauge was okay up to 180', after that 6 gauge is the way to go. So are you saying that it is already star grounded? Any ideas are welcome. Thanks! Stan | |
| star grounding question... So how does star grounding apply to an A/C sub panel? What my electrician did is run a 40 amp 65' 8 gauge non-armored A/C cable from the main A/C panel to the sub panel. I then have 4 20 amp 7' runs of 10/2 romex to my A/C sockets. The only ground... | |
| star grounding question... Rushton, Thanks! That thread looks like it will answer most of my questions? What of the dangers of star grounding? Anyone? | |
| star grounding question... Ms. Jones must be a heavyweight. Just how big is she? | |
| Amperex PQ 6922 vs Amperex PQ 7308 Sirspeedy, I'm currently running 4 sets of matched low noise 7308 Amperex PQ with shield--circa 1963 and 1964-- in my Bat vk5i preamp. These tubes were bought from "Sam"-here @ audiogon and from Brenden @ Tube World. They both also carry 6922 PQ's... | |
| Audio equipment and cars...enthusiast thread... My favorite car is the Pontiac 1967 GTO. It brings back alot of memories. Maybe some day I'll own one. I did own a 1979 Nissan 280zx from 1979-1984. What I do own now is a Sig saucer P228 pistol, that I had cusotmized...fitted match barrel, trigge... | |
| Amperex PQ 6922 vs Amperex PQ 7308 Sirspeedy, You didn't mention that your Ediswan tubes were actually low noise Mullards until your 03/05/05 post. An "Ediswan tube" could have been any of several brands. Low noise Mullards are fine tubes indeed. That being said, I'm still curious,... | |
| Best Upgrade you had? Dedicated power brought my system to a new level (cost-$600). 2nd-my Bat vk5i with nos tubes - eight 1963 and 1964 matched 7308 Amperex PQ white label w/ shield small signal tubes and two 1957 5881 Tungsol power tubes (tube cost- I try not to thin... | |
| The majic of early 1970's rock and it's influence- I agree. It's the sheer number of talented musicians from this time period that defined rock, building upon previous groups work, and work from groups during their own time period. Plus alot of genius on their own. Jdm61 talked about Miles Davis's... | |
| Amperex PQ 6922 vs Amperex PQ 7308 Sir speedy, The premise that I use for the PQ being better than the Ediswan is both the placement of that tube in "Joe's Tube Lure"- (the order looks like average to best) and what Andy of Vintage Tube Services indicated on his website-(go to Inve... | |
| Amperex PQ 6922 vs Amperex PQ 7308 The JAN- (Joint Army Navy) tubes that I've used were the 7308 Green Letter-1976 and the 7308 Orange Globe Logo-1967. The older the tube the better. I've never tried an older JAN tube like a 7308 white letter JAN-USN. I've heard that they are very ... | |
| Amperex PQ 6922 vs Amperex PQ 7308 I think that either the 7308 or the 6922 PQ would smoke the Ediswan tube. The 7308 would probably have more longevity and be a quieter tube than the 6922. I tried to Email this to you but I got server error messages. If you want a reccomendation o... | |
| Amperex PQ 6922 vs Amperex PQ 7308 I hope that I didn't step on any toes by diving into this thread. I was just relaying what I've learned from Andy @ Vintage Tube Services and what I've learned in 6yrs of trial and error with small signal tubes. Ed- I read your review of the Shugu... | |
| Amperex PQ 6922 vs Amperex PQ 7308 I ran out of space on my last post-- As dogpile said JAN is military use. I've also seen JAN orange world globe logo tubes . I've heard that on earlier 7308 tubes, they may be white lettered only (and still be PQ) or they may be white lettered and... |
