How important is EMI and RFI rejection?
I did my 2 sub blocks and they have never run this quiet. After looking at the vacs closely the only chassis screws are underneath and at 100Lbs a piece there has to be another way. The vacs have a adjustable grounding switch anyway,but I would st...

Hi T,When I'm done I'll snap some pics and email them to you. The Vacs will be a challenge I think,not too many chassis connections. I hope tonight it sounds as good as last night.Cheers

How is your power bill?

I am going to read up on some of the tweaks that Dan suggests and try them.....it might take me a few days but I will report back...Dan...thanks again. 
I am sick of cables
Tube rolling is less stressful....but given the price increases for NOS....just wait. Cable disappearance...is when the CD or a record no longer sounds as such...it's not live...but it's not reproduced either...but that can be said for all parts o... 
So Much "Harshness"
I agree....harshness...is mostly a power problem. Troublesome as it takes some experimentation to rid. I suggest the foundation should always start with dedicated 20amp circuits....and then some good shielded power cords.One caveat....your equipme...
