    In-wall cable question

    I think the general consensus among most audiophiles is to use a power distributor. This affords one a lot of choices for personal taste. For analog I use a Shunyata with component-to-component isolation, no surge "compression", all cold-welded outlets, and filtration without chokes. My digital...

    In-wall cable question

    It sounds like you really like that Romex 10ga. My buddy took out his Romex 10ga and put in 4ga THHN and said it was one of the cheapest, biggest bang-for-the-buck upgrades he's ever tried. I'm sure it can be done in a fully NEC compliant and safe manner. I'll text the county electrical...

    The best plug in filter ever!

    Thanks! Have you ever peeked into those AUTH units? Noise filter caps like the Shunyata Venom? I've got an iFi iPurifier on the line from my linear power supply to my little server hard drive. Should I remove it and put it on FMC/Switch/Router/Modem?

    Isolating my new AC line

    Do you think the P20 is lower distortion due to the large current draw of your amps?

    In-wall cable question

    I had a buddy that tried a few different things with his big isolation transformer recommend 4ga THHN, and bought 50' of that. What would you say is the optimal way for me to run it? I hand wound it 1 (360 degree) turn every 2 feet, but can go a lot tighter. So when you say "turn" do you mean...

    The best plug in filter ever!

    Nice! I I have an extra iFi iPower Elite power supply sitting around doing nothing. Where would you say is the best sonic benefit for that between a server, a router, or a modem?

    Isolating my new AC line

    Yeah code is pretty complex and I'm just going to defer to the electrician! The power here is pretty dirty but the voltage is always strong. I've got regenerators built into each of my power amps and a slug of different filters, isolation transformers and conditioners-- but no regeneration on...

    Isolating my new AC line

    I am upgrading to a dedicated 4 gauge ac line. The system already has its own isolated ground (with Puritan Audio default switch for safety to link it to the main ground in the event of a problem), so my new line coming from the panel is just a hot and a neutral. I already have my new cable...

    Amp Stand for Heavy Amp on Wood Floor?

    I'd put them on the discs. You'll have plenty of time to consider more ambitious options in the future, and the discs will protect the granite...

    Amp Stand for Heavy Amp on Wood Floor?

    Sexy looking rig, brothah. I've tried this before and had good results-- stomp on the floor in a few different places to try to see if you can get your tubes to ring a little while the amp is up on the new stand with Herbie discs. Then try stomping around without the discs and see if it's better...
