Who has Caps on their AC lines ???


I have been playing around with caps on my AC line. After today, I don't think that I can live without them. Even with my dedicated AC lines, the one with the caps just has such a more natural sound no matter what AC power cord I place on it.

Unfortunately, I got them from a guy that I no longer speak to so I don't really know the value of the caps. Is there a way to determine the value?

I have been reading about a few members who use Auricaps, etc., and will try what they are using soon. I am also waiting on an isolation transformer to test in my system next.

I'd like to know what you are using to filter your AC lines and what you are hearing.

Thanks and Happy Listening.

Our friend an fellow Audiogon member Joe Sanders (Joe's tube lore over at AA) is a good friend and has a DIY version that is splendid. Perhaps he will post data here about values and how to construct. I think I have the data in an old email along with photo's.

The idea is the same as the Quiet Line devices that plug into your wall socket. It does work and the Quiet Line is great at less than $30.00. I have about a dozen Quiet Line's plugged in and around my audio system, having used them for more than a decade.

The DIY version uses better quality caps and higher value and should be a nice upgrade. I've never gotten around to ordering the plastic boxes and parts to build one, perhaps this will inspire me :^).
