Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

RE: What should I do with it?

Alrighty then, back to DIY shit all kidding and ball busting aside.

Places I used it:
(4x33 shielded $6.95)
The few inches from the pre's phono RCA jacks > pcb.
Cardas Tonearm wire, balanced and shielded trounced my DIY shielded x4 #24.



23.5 chassis wire $1.25
Short run, again a few inches feeding the CCS, quieted it down noticeably.

Input RCA (amplifier) > input tube grid. Input tube DC to phase splitter.

Coupling caps, prev. stage and then to the grids of the OPTubes.


In all instances, the noise floor dropped, with greater detail.
Some similar to that of going to Schottkys.
Will I use it for pi filtering - probably not.
I also have some of their TWPR shielded cable to use from the Vpots > grids.
2x21.5 or 2x24
I plan to get to that this week and will post my findings.


Note: I did NOT, check the BW before or after the wire.
Since the improvement was consistent, I didn't feel the need measure.
The product performed as marketed. Plus for the price, it wasn't worth my time to find comparatives, before and after test points.
I went in with NO expectations whatsoever. Unlike those two padded cells to the right.:-)

....as for power cords for several hundreds of $$$$. They can KMAss.
SJT - Schurter/P&S, Crump design(for shielding) is just fine for me.
My findings, (subjective of course) the more the power cord does sonically, the more help the PS needs. Again IMHO/HE.

What you do after, measure and so forth is certainly your gig. But you know, you'll have to report back.:-))

I stand by my offer - PM if you wish.

Cheers,
Wheeze
