| DIY tube amps I had a blast building a Sun Audio 2a3 stereo amp kit. That was easy to build, but only 3.5 watts or so. Got me into tubes from solid state. | |
| high frequency intermittent noise @xti16 Very interesting - parts 1 and 4. I may try to seek these power cables for audition to see if there is any affect. Thank you for the link. | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? @whart Yes, the Cornwall IIIs are driven by the ML2s. I just love the low end bass. This is my first near-full-range speaker. I've had monitors in the past. | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? @whart Have you used your Quads with the ML2?I'm really enjoying the Klipsch Cornwall III. Rated at 102db efficiency. I've added a Fostex horn super tweeter to extend the upper frequencies. The super tweeter sits on a Symposium Svelt shelf whic... | |
| Current recording engineers - what cables used? @maplegrovemusic What a fantastic read. It validates what we know. | |
| high frequency intermittent noise Aluminum foil had no affect on the power cord and the speaker cable with the shorting plug in the amp. | |
| Vibration isolation If you are experiencing brightness from using Symposium products, I would try to track down the brightness in your system that you don't like. I have not experienced brightness from Rollerblocks, only what you described above as positives. In my... | |
| Vibration isolation It sounds like you are using various different products at the same time?VooDoo Iso PodsMIG 2.0Herbies soft feetRollerblocksOr are you swapping out these products under 1 component? If so which component are you using these devices? | |
| high frequency intermittent noise Ferrites are on order. I still need more aluminum foil. 👍🏻 | |
| high frequency intermittent noise Try adding a choke across the speaker terminals to short out the HF signal.@shadorne What is a choke? How would you implement this? I'm not an electronics guy, learning-as-I-go-here. | |
| power cords with active shielding @jea48 Not yet on wrapping the speaker cable. I need to get more aluminum foil, then I will try that. 👍🏻🤓 | |
| power cords with active shielding @kijanki I have a police station down the street, and a fire station down one block from me. So the public safety GSM band would probably be in high usage during the daytime (like what I experience now). I'm up at early hours to enjoy my system ... | |
| power cords with active shielding @kijanki Thank you for that clarification. I too got a Furman device, I got the isolation transformer, the P-2400 IT. It basically removed the noise floor from the music in my system. I am still getting the intermittent GSM signal in my system,... | |
| power cords with active shielding @blindjim I inserted an isolation transformer (Furman P-2400 IT) into my system, so everything plugs into the isolation transformer. This had no impact on the specific noise I am targeting, but it did have a big positive affect in sound quality - ... | |
| Stand alone tweeter? @gondo101 Understand. To me, the PS Audio Noise Harvesters act as an equalizer, reducing HF glare. That is my assessment anyway. Good luck. |
