How good is the Shunyata Venom Silver A/C outlet?
Hmmmm... I just installed my Shunyata Venom Silver A/C outlet inline with my freezer. The outlet is wide. Oversized, I guess. It's a Hubbell outlet alright. It came snuggly fit in a nice black, labeled box, which says, "Venom Silver Outlet- Shunya... 
How good is the Shunyata Venom Silver A/C outlet?
I just ordered a Shunyata Venom Silver A/C outlet for $99. I'm going to A/B it with my Wattgate A/C outlet, after it's broken in. I plan to break it in for thirty days running in line with my freezer, and then using it on my cd player and amp. I h...

"Well Oli, this is another fine mess that you've gotten me into." -Stan Laurel... It wasn't my intention to start a controversy of any kind. I'm interested in an exceptional A/C outlet for an amp that I plan on upgrading to in the next month or tw... 
My Rogue 99 needs better isolation...please help.
Just my two cents worth, but Jeffcott may be right concerning the townshend seismic sink and k-works osobase K. Sand works quite well for bleeding off vibration, but... alot of people use seismic sinks for turntables. If it works well for turntabl...

Try Andy @ vintage tube services--www.vintagetubeservices.com. He may have the tube your looking for. I know he did have quite a few 6sn7's at one time. His phone number is listed on the website. Good Listening! Stan

I'm useing Herbie HAL-O Damping rings on all my tubes in my Bat VK5i preamp.They're the best I've tried for tube microphonics and they're reasonably priced. The Cable Company carries them. My preamp rests on a set of Symposium Rollerblocks, which ... 
What's your profession? Age?
I'm a 47 year old registered respiratory therapist. My wife is a registered nurse, who listens to the same old early to mid 1970's rock that I do. I've been interested in "high end stereo systems", since listening to a pair of yamaha ns1000 speake... 
Aerial 10T Beware? Another Look & Buyer's Guide
Tswhitsel, A job well done! Thanks for the indepth history. I've thought about buying a late model used pair of 10t's. (I have a 4 year old pair of 7b's at the moment.) What was the last year that the 10t's were made? Thanks again for taking the t... 
Installing an AC Grounding System, Need Advice
Jea48, the "water method" that you commented about is the method that was used by my electrician to drive the rod. The power was disconnected and the ground wire hadn't been connected to the rod yet. My electrician works for the one of the biggest... 
Installing an AC Grounding System, Need Advice
I'd check out www.equitech.com. They're the people into balanced power; however, they also have different articles that can be downloaded via computer. One of these articles is "setting up an a/c ground." I used one 10' 5/8" copper ground rod. If ... 
what do I upgrade?
Allen, your stereo system isn't even close to it's potential, unless you have dedicated power. The system runs out of steam trying to draw all that power through a small 12 gauge wire--(your in-wall wire). You need at least one dedicated line with... 
Pass X150 or CJ MF 2500,,,
Ray, I just thought that I'd also add that the bass on the CJ2500A is a slightly loose bass. The unit itself will give you a "full" sound. Instruments like synthesizer, harmonica, and acoustic guitar sound three demensional, with a good front to b... 
Breaking in power cords
I was told by the owner of Elrod power cords to use a refrigerator. He said to leave it for about 3-4 weeks running 24/7. The idea is that powercords breakin from the sudden surge of power being drawn through them and also the ebb and flow of the ... 
Pass X150 or CJ MF 2500,,,
Ray, I was wondering a few things. What's the sensitivity of your speakers? Are they hard to drive? What's the input impedance of your preamp? What are you looking for in your next amp? What kind of music do you listen to? There have been a few us...
