| I have dedicated lines, but why is this happening? Bigdope, I measured the drop and the drop was 119.4 v to 118.8. Not much.But it does seem this symptom started with the onset of much warmer weather when summer started. Things will begin to cool off on Maui by the end of the month. We'll see what... | |
| Cable Suggestions for my system? I second HMS Gran Finales. I'm sure there are better cables, but they will probably cost you thousands more. | |
| I have dedicated lines, but why is this happening? Thanks for the suggestion, Bigdope. I will try it and see what kind of drop I get. | |
| English langauge instructions for Gran Finale ? Aloha Simon,I don't have the HMS speaker cables, but I have all HMS Gran Finale IC's. I concur with Mike's instructions. After listening through all of the different settings, I too found neutral as the best. There was a dramatic thinning of the s... | |
| I have dedicated lines, but why is this happening? One more question regarding Warrenh's post about a dedicated ground.Sean, I searched your posts on isolated grounds here and I am still not sure I understand it.When we installed my dedicated lines we used 12ga. Romex and 20 amp breakers. We ran e... | |
| I have dedicated lines, but why is this happening? Thanks for all of your replies.The dedicated lines do not share neutral lines. I helped the electrician pull and install the lines.I don't believe the problem could be a result of corroded or loose wiring as we just built the house a year ago so e... | |
| Where to go from here? upping the tube ante Bwhite, I thought you had a Berning ZH 270?Did you buy one and not like it? It has always been on my audition list. | |

| EMM Labs DAC6 Mikelavigne, I have the Audio Note DAC 1.2, which is not an upper level AN DAC, however it has all Black Gate caps, tantalum resistors, solid silver wiring, a custom (internal) HMS Gran Finale IC, AN copper caps on the analogue board, NOS tubes an... | |
| shatki holographs Yes, they can be done DIY. Quite easily if you have the woodworking tools and appropriate skills. Others have made them DIY and they reported very good results. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hey BWhite, maybe I missed a post on the power cord that you referred to in your post to Mick. If not, come on man, spill the beans, inquiring minds want to know!But then again, if you start another thread that runs into 600 posts I am going to be... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Noble, if the Syrah was close to the First Sound with only Ken Rads and Tung Sols, then you didn't hear 50% of what the Syrah is capable of producing. Rolling 6SN7's made the least difference in my Supratek. A change in the rectifier to a NOS Mull... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Ken, I have questioned the same thing. I have wondered myself if the umbilical cord could be limiting the Supratek at all. After hearing what power cords and great IC's can do, I am very curious about what gains a replacement for the stock umbilic... | |
| Does removing the plastic covers on caps help? If you find that damping works or makes a difference on your BG's, I would be very interested to hear about it.I have been considering removing all of the plastic, but now I am reluctant.Aloha,Warren | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century David, I agree. I have been through all of the regulators and the WE 350 B's are the cats meow. |
