| So I was changing a lightbulb last night… +1 @erik_squires , I had to laugh as it reminded me of my childhood days when dad said “ Hold the TV antenna “. EMI, capacitance, and electrical conduction all come into play when we place our body in the circuit. I’ve removed dimmer switches,... | |

| Headphone amp and dac advice needed FWIW, I have Audeze LC 2’s and Schiit DAC and amp. I enjoy it, but try different gear first. What I will point out is my planer headphones are big and heavy. I generally don’t last for more that an hour with them on. And this is at home , not the ... | |
| Streamers/DACs FWIW, I’m running the TP link powerline adapters. Due to location , I was limited to this or Wi-Fi. I was aware of this devise but ignored trying it until I saw it recommended by one of the streamer manufacturers as an alternative. I’m sure the... | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? +1 @wolf_garcia , Wolfie nailed it ! I appreciate your prospective . Personally I’ve run into brightness issues when doing any exorcisms as the silver adds too much brightness and causes the demon screams to hurt my ears. However Silver gel works ... | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? Slightly off topic , but in the same area. You might want to add some sort of unit isolation underneath and tube dampers too. Not related to your popping , but at your level of involvement it never hurts. Cheers , Mike. | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? My experience is that I had a high pitched ringing or a vibration like hum. This was alleviated initially by cooling and reinstalling the tubes. As the tube aged they got worse and we’re replaced. The 2 times I experienced a single pop, it was t p... | |

| Upgrading power system @lowrider57 . It was not my intention, it just worked out that way. I wanted better outlets and I’m cost driven. I found 2 gold plated, 20 amp Hubbell's online for way below cost. I installed them and used Ivory covers to mostly hide the bright ... | |
| Upgrading power system So here’s my $.02. I have 15 amp circuits, and I’m running a low power tube amp and 98 db speakers, so I’m not needing massive current like some. I replaced my 2 outlets with 20 amp Hubbell medical grade outlets. Yeah I know 20’s on a 15 circuit ,... | |
