| Bare wire to B&W 684? Yes you may twist up the wire and stick it into the hole on the terminal.If the wire end gets crummy, you should cut off the damaged end, so the exposed wire is clean and twisted.IF you twist it or bend the exposed copper, try to do it without act... | |
| What did you get for Christmas? I was really bad this year. Santa left me a few small lumps of really cheap coal (almost just peat really..) in a dirty sock.That's it.I am happy however. | |
| Have digital players improved I still use an Adcom Da converter.I bought and returned a Stereophile raved over 'class "A" DAC (in 2010) which after exhaustive comparisons, was no better than the old Adcom.I do have the Adcom stuffed with antistatic foam, and via high quality p... | |
| Your Worst Audio Breakdown Worst was a Sony laserdisk player. It constantly failed, got sent in, got back and still had the same issue.Got Pioneer LD and no problems...Then next Sony biggest Wega, just went South. Never did get it fixed.Still I have a love hate with Sony..M... | |
| AC Power Line Upgrade -- For electricians External wires (per USA code) would need to be able to disconnect with plugs at both ends.So if you run some short wires to outlets from the box, they must be enclosed in piping.I use a single 20 amp outlet for all my stuff.I have:42" plasma, 7 ch... | |

| "Best" 80's HiFi System Agree with Newbee. If the client wants low level purity, get the Quads ESL 63, (refurbished so they will last)Nothing is a s good as a pair of Quads at playing at 'not loud' levels. They just cannot play loud, though, so know your clients' needs.I... | |
| Hey Electricians - Please help Added thought:. Try changing the switch at the wall first.. As a different (new)one may arc less.For an even cheaper.. just try tightening the wires to the switch, they nmay be loose. | |

| Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions" I also concur with both prior comments.Powercords cannot be just thrown at a system, (no matter what some think)The cords and the electronics and any conditioning all influence the sound.Generally I would suggest some of the less expensive cords t... | |
| "Best" 80's HiFi System In the early 80's i had:Infinity RSIIa $3,000 new (or Infinity RSIb $5,000 to $12,000 when new)Back when Infinity really was the best. All downhill from there (once Emims were dropped)Conrad Johnson with them or Audio Research. | |
| Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi? The equipment is fun. The read about, fiddle with, ignore, hate, upgrade, change around..Just a hobby-time waster.The music, on the other hand, is essential to my being happy.I tend to go in cycles over the equipment. Being interested in doing som... | |
