| Component grounding I installed the nylon washer between the chassis and the ground wire ring. Perhaps the wire should be next to the chassis and the nylon washer placed on top of it - and not in between the wire and the chassis? I am assuming it is a metal screw... | |
| PC for Gryphon Diablo 300 @questforhifi - The Gryphon Diablo does not have a 20 amp socket, so why the AQ 20 amp cable? Take a look at the Zevfino range of cables - they would suit the Gryphon amp very well. Regards - Steve | |
| Component grounding @rfprice - obviously there is some pretty strange grounding issues at play here and without being there it is difficult to advise on a solution RE:.. I noticed that the hum kicked in when I connected the interconnects from the DAC to the integr... | |
| suspending monitors from the ceiling And here was I thinking that for a speaker to work correctly (i.e. as designed) and at optimal efficiency, the cabinet had to be 100% rock solid. -i.e. NO MOVEMENT WHATSOEVER ! Any movement in the cabinet results in degraded sound. I’m with @er... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations for Pass Labs INT-250 & Dynaudio HS @misterwiggles113 - In-Akustik would be a step up from those mentioned above, but a little more pricey. Or try Nordost But the Zavfino range seem to be an exceptional bang for the buck because of their use of UP-OCC copper and exceptional cable ... | |
| Component grounding The neutral side of any circuit should be at zero volts, but very often the neutral side may have some residual voltage due to the design of the circuit. If this voltage is not "wicked away" to a proper ground then connecting that component to ano... | |
| Component grounding @rfprice - What happens if you take the Shunyata Power Condtioner out of the system altogether? What components do you have? Thanks | |
| Help Please:Upgrade Coax cable between Node 2i and Chord Qutest..? @ianrmack - Zavfino cables are extremely well designed and fabricated and use top quality copper, which should noticeably improve things. Also, to improve the performance of your Node 2i get a Zavfino power cable - you might need an adapter also ... | |
| Radio frequencies picked up by phono stage. @roxt1927 - try the following - get e length of wire, enough to attach to a grounding point and within rech of the phono stage - attach one end to the grounding point - touch the free end of the wire on the neutral collar of the input socket -... | |
| Radio frequencies picked up by phono stage. @roxt1927 - What is the phono stage and pre-amp (or amp) you are using? Thanks | |

| Component grounding @rfprice - you should NEVER defeat the ground on any component !!!It is there for a reason - SAFETY !I know its a common solution, but you are not addressing the root cause of the problemRegards | |
| Component grounding @rfprice - that hum is probably due to the unit having a two pin plug OR being ungrounded.This is common and easily remedied...try connecting a piece of wire to the ground point on the power conditionerthen touch the other end to any unused RCA so... | |
| Component grounding Generally speaking, modern components fall into one of two categoriesthose with grounded power cordsthose without - i.e. two pin plugs For the latter, the chassis of the ungrounded components cannot be grounded and may "pickup" some EMI/RFI - ther... | |
| The return of the DIYer @ erik_squires - The name of this thread seems to imply that the DIYer had "passed on"?DIYers have, and always will be around, mainly because there are so many things you CAN do for yourself in this hobby - i.e. if desired.From tweaks, like using ... |
