| Instructions to electrician about dedicated line Macdonj, thanks for clarifying why i stated what i did. In that respect, you were right on the money. However, i would like to add that i don't personally feel that 10 gauge is sufficient for 30 amp service. Regardless of what most "professionals"... | |
| Review: Purist Audio Design Proteus Interconnect George, Kelly had sent me some balanced versions of Tara's "The One" with active shielding to throw on my burner for him. As far as i know, that is what he is still using but i have not spoken to him in ages. I hope that he does not mind me sharin... | |
| Instructions to electrician about dedicated line If you are starting from scratch, install a 100 amp sub-panel off of the main breaker box. You can then run as many 15 or 20 amp circuits as is necessary. I'd use 10 gauge for all the runs regardless of the amperage rating of the breaker. If possi... | |
| Component obsolescence My experience is that many older designs can easily hang with current designs IF the "technology" of newer passive parts ( resistors, capacitors, diodes, wiring ) is brought up to date. Most of the "improvements" in audio products have not come ab... | |
| Are Nordost really the Rolls Royce of cables? Asa: Your post summed up my thoughts and experiences with Nordost to a "t". Thank you for putting my thoughts / feelings into print. Tubegroover: Drop me an email when you get a chance. Audioengr: Thanks for posting the comments from Stereophile. ... | |
| Vinyl and slurring S'es Paulwp hit it on the head. The more precisely that you set up a cartridge / arm / phono stage, the better the sonics and less wear & tear on the vinyl and stylus.Also keep in mind that cartridge loading can drastically affect tonal balance and... | |
| Loudspeakers that match well w/Bryston B-60? I agree with Karls i.e. higher impedance speakers that are relatively sensitive. Sean> | |
| Any one heard the Parasound JC-1 Mono Amps? I intend to purchase a pair of these. The only thing holding me back is the lack of funding : ) Sean> | |
| What's the best dirt bag speaker you have heard? While not exactly "dirt bag" type of products, i've found some great deals in various places for next to nothing. One day at the local flea market netted me a pair of Genesis Physics speakers for $40. They were in excellent shape. The guy selling ... | |
| Opinions on this "white paper" Audioengr, as you know, "low" is a relative term. If one picks a specific product that measures very poorly in a specific area and uses that as a reference, anything would look good. As a case in point, Nordost is considered a "low inductance" spe... | |
| Cat 5 cable for audio? Sir, your last response and the manner that it was delivered in says more about you than i ever could. As such, i'll let you be your own worst enemy and leave it at that. Sean> | |
| Opinions on this "white paper" I've been told that Roger Sanders is a VERY nice guy and extremely dedicated and helpful. I trust the person that told me this without hesitation. I know that Roger went WAY out of his way trying to help this person out in a time of need, so i hav... | |
| Impressions of the Anthem AVP 20 Natalie, sorry for not responding sooner. I did not see your response until just now. As such, here is my reply.As i stated, i have not run across a preamp / processor that sounds as good on music as a good 2 channel preamp does. While i have not ... | |
| Cat 5 cable for audio? Natalie, your last post contradicts your previous post and makes this even harder to understand. You stated "16 pairs" previously, which to me equates to 32 conductors total for each speaker run. Now you state 8 pairs per side, which equates to 16... | |
| Cat 5 cable for audio? I don't think that Art "quit" the magazine. Not anymore so than someone running into you full steam, knocking you over and then explaining that you "fell down". I used that analogy as i think that such a situation is what it felt like to Art i.e. ... |
