Ways to clean up the wall power for SET amp?

You may ask George Wright what he thinks, but I personally have found that, with the low-powered tube amps,cleaning up the power and or slapping on a power cord that costs as much as the amp does not make any difference to my ears. Those same things do make differences in the front end though. If I were going to invest in power for a tube amplifier, I'd invest in a dedicated circuit with an isolated ground and a good outlet. Just my opinion, of course. Worth all of .02 cents back in 77, while in the current economy I actually went into debt by sharing it with you!

put a bybee on the + leg from the IEC to the transformer inside the amp.

worked well on my wavac.

I dont have a Set setup, (then why reply?) I can tell you the dedicated circuits with the I/G made more of a difference in my system than any power cord. I had the work done by pros, they ran a #4 ground wire out of my house into a pole burried 6 feet in the ground with a few 20 amp dedicated runs back to the fuse pannel. The cost was what I would have paid for a pair of decent power cords, but well worth the results.

Since then I have tweaked by purchasing the Cyro outlets, and upgraded again my power cords, but that is just better frosting, not a better cake.

With the Wright 2A3's (if you go that route), the PC's are captive, so not even a consideration there. Get some good NOS tubes, and plug the amps straight into the wall...the one with the dedicated circuit, according to those in the know.

Although not SET my Cary SLM 100's like Bybees alone best, in my case I use them on both the hot and neutral. Tried power conditioners, sucked away too much of the drive and life. Tried caps on AC receptacle in combination with the bybees, same problem. I run each monoblock on seperate dedicated lines with dedicated ground. Getting Art Audio Carissa Sig. next week, we shall see what works best.
