| Did electrician set up my dedicated subpanel correctly? The EP-2050ee is a parallel whole house surge protector, waveform corrector and power conditioner. Because it's parallel, it won't limit current. The EP-2750 ground filter provides additional filtration of the safety ground for the dedicated audi... | |
| Kondo Overture PM2i - buzzing noise from transformer I think he meant the bells (covers) of the transformer that is mechanically buzzing; try tightening the four bolts.

| upgrade rec from meridian 508.24 I also like the Rega CD players and the functionality of the DAC in the Saturn-R. The current lower price CD player in the Rega line is the Apollo. I had the Meridian 508.24 decades ago and recall enjoying it very much. | |
| GO CHIEFS !! As an Eagles fan I’m always happy to see Andy Reid do well. Or course, unless we’re playing them. Go Birds! | |
| Who Offers a Highly Musical Preamp using a 6SN7 tube and a remote? Black Ice Audio F360. | |

| Puritan Audio Labs GroundMaster CITY & RouteMaster grounding system Considering the huge price difference, I'm not sure anyone would want to. This is not rocket science. The concepts are pretty basic. Synergistic, Nordost, Entec, etc are just exploiting the electrically naive. | |
| Replaced all my Living Room Outlets Pass and Seymour 5242 are very good, inexpensive outlets for those on a budget. These are the same outlets that Acme Audio silver plates and cyros for around $48 each. | |
| Recommend new EL84 tubes Jim McShane says basically the same thing but it doesn't apply to most consumer audio components including Manley. Jim references the Vox AC-30 and AC-30 clones; guitar amps that run the output tubes beyond dissipation specs. I know this to be tru... | |
| Recommend new EL84 tubes +1 Gold Lion N709/EL84 Jim McShane Tubes | |
| Upscale Audio and Primaluna The fact is that professional salesmen posing as audiophiles make orders of magnitude more money than experienced audiophiles posing as salesmen. | |
| KT150 to KT120..or KT120 to KT150 I agree with others that, in part, it depends on the amplifier design. The just released Zesto Audio Bia 200 Select has a selector switch with three positions; KT88, KT120, KT150 or KT170 with power output 60, 80 or 100W depending on tube and sel... | |
| Tube integrated amps -- new Value Leaders? IMHO, I agree that Black Ice Audio is one of the new value leaders in tube integrated amps as @bogbeat pointed out. |
