Blue Circle audio gear & Gilbert Yeung Designs Forum

What the reviewer said about touching the prongs - is that true? I don't want to try in order to find out .

Gilbert mentioned it would also be possible to blend SS with tube.

When I was trying to decide between 109 (SS) and 303 (tube), this would have been one option that I would have went for, assuming it would still be a no compromise design.

Thanks Mark. I was wondering what it was for.

What exactly is the "quiet power cord"?

DD Good to see you are getting into PC audio. If you have the option of placing the computer a little further away from your rack, then you might want to give it a try. When I had the server next to the rack, it really dragged down the rest of the system. I have lined the inside of the case with ERS...

The 18x filters have been plugged in for over a week and I was surprised by the amount of change that these pipes go through during their break-in. I have to admit that I was naive and never actually anticipated any break-in period for these filters, even though I knew there are a lot of caps involv...

I have always cleaned my tube pins with Deoxit, but never the sockets. I tried Jim's suggestion of using those mini tooth brushes and they work like a charm. The tubes are very very quiet at the moment - knock on wood. http://www.gumbrand.com/interdental-brushes/products/gum-go-betweens-proxabrush-c...

Yeah I agree powering down is probably not a realistic option for your 303 ... time to stockpile some tubes :) I'm going to start turning off my amps to see if it helps preserve the tubes. I'm like you, I can't go back to the EH. I have to admit that the thought of sending the 208s in for surgery ha...

I have been using Genalex Gold Lion 6922's for over a year now. Although I love their tonality, I have been a little discouraged with their reliability lately, so I asked Jim McShane ( www.mcshanedesign.net ) on his opinion of these tubes. I have been keeping my amps on 24x7 as I believed that this ...

Nikki What you are looking for is a +20 module with a regular ac plug. However, if you are using the +20 module by itself it is not going to be as effective as using a 18X filter by itself. G Gil But, Are you saying that it is not possible to build a fully spec'd 6020 into a pipe? And it would be u...

Ice Man - Good question, I was wondering the same thing myself. Gil But - I suppose the next question would be if it is possible to build a Silly Cone filter with the same filter spec as the 6020? So in other words, a 6020 with no outlets. That would be a good application for power amps directly con...

Hey Ice Man, You have some serious conditioning in your setup - nice! :shock: 8) Do you think you have reached the threshold of filtering for your room? I'm game if Gilbert ever wants to send me a truck load of stuff to try :wink: To be honest, I have been trying to reduce the clutter at the front o...

I'm a little late to the party, but I recently asked Gilbert if I could try some Silly Cone filters, so he sent me a couple of 6X pipes to test drive. Feeding my 208s are two dedicated 20A circuits. I have been using PS Audio Harvesters on these circuits with good results. These little things do a d...

Awesome ... looking forward to some reviews/comments!

You say you can push this up to 500w - I'd like to see how many boxes that would take .

See, BK knows. BC folks are a smart bunch, so I bet you a lot knew exactly what I was talking about. I hear you guys about fat, but my family do not like fat. If I give me daughter an 8oz tenderloin, by the time she has finished trimming all the "fat" off the steak, she has about 3oz of meat left. ....
