F5 Amps - Building a Quartet of Amps in search of the Ultimate F5

[CanAm Man]

CanAm Man, I do not have an oscilloscope, but I live in the center of Manhattan and invite anyone who's interested to come over to measure the amp - I am interested as well.

Darn..... If I was still living in Old Westbury, my Tektronix and I would be on the Long Island Railroad (or the L.I. Expressway) tomorrow!

I had thought shielded meant three conductors: signal, signal ground, and shield? So typical coax would not qualify?

yes, thats a balanced cable

'ordinary' single ended signal coax have one lead, and a shield, for each channel
its 'oldstyle'

many modern cables actually uses a 'balanced' cable
with 2 leads, and a shield, for each channel
with the shield connected at only one end
and you have what is called pseudo balanced, used for single ended input

now, its clear you have both, RCA and balanced input
not sure how that works with F5-X

Well, I obviously forgot you are running true balanced

its a bit funny, but when listening through single ended RCA on my CD player it sound better when a balanced interconnect is mounted too

... short the inputs. If the hum still is there, then the problem is not likely shielding per se.

If it persists, then there are other points to consider.

So, which sounded best? What're they driving?
