| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Gerrym5, I wish we lived close enough to audition each others systems. I would love to hear yours, after knowing what is in it. Also would like to have a listen to a bunch of those LP's that I'm certain I don't have. | |
| Hospital Grade Wall Outlets This is much the same argument as to whether you should use Hubbell (male) connectors, rather than ordinary ones. The 20 amp version is heavier, provides tighter clamping action, additional contact area and rated for higher capacity. Those of us h... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Tml2. My cable on dedicated runs is common Romex (brand name) sheath clad copper cable. All my runs are either 12 or 10 gauge. I've often wondered if I should have used something special for this. I don't think Purist makes in wall wiring, if they... | |
| Hospital Grade Wall Outlets The first line of my initial posting on 09-04-00 was in response to that same question by you on 09-03-00. I think the plated Hospital grade would probably be better than the original household plug. Electrical outlets, like all things in life, ge... | |
| Rogers Information Needed Sorry, I meant to give you the link that provided ALL the British loudspeaker links. Here it is: http://home1.gte.net/cannaday/british.htm | |
| Rogers Information Needed Here is a link for about a dozen of the best known British Hi Fi manufacturers. http://www.uk-rogers.com/english/rogers2a.html I just tried the link that they provided for Rogers, and got an error. I don't know if the server has a problem, the lin... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Tubegroover. No, the room is not dedicated, although my wife claims it is. It's our living room. The dimensions are nineteen and a half feet wide, thirty three feet long, and with a ceiling that vaults from eight foot two inches to twelve and a ha... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! The best system I have ever built is not built yet. Unfortunately, this process is a journey, not a destination. I am very happy right now, so I will lay it out for you. Source: Walker Proscenium Signature, with the Prologue base, and air suspensi... | |
| Jan Allaerts cartridges I would be interested to know the source of these cartridges. I doubt that she hand makes them, by hand winding the tiny coils, assisted by a microscope. They are most likely built under contract by a cartridge manufacturer that is already well kn... | |
| Hospital Grade Wall Outlets Lmb, that is (perhaps) the correct Hubbell, the heavy duty 20 amp version. The only remaining difference is the green dot on the face of the outlet, right beside the ground hole, an indication of dedicated ground, and not the case strap variety. I... | |
| Tubes & Audio Research Corp. I think it is very forthright that Upscale Audio has offered to bring this in the open. If any of you guys have really got a complaint, here is your chance to resolve the issue. As I said in an earlier posting, Kevin has given me only EXTREMELY ac... | |
| Tubes & Audio Research Corp. If the California guy you guys are speaking of is Kevin at Upscale, I have had excellent results with him. If he refuses to sell to certain people, it may be because the products he carries are low in supply, high in demand, and he feels like he c... | |
| Listening Room: Diffusion vs. Absorption Owens Corning makes an absorbing material called 6 pound fiberglass acoustic. I am investigating this right now for my room. It cuts the first order reflections only at the uppermost frequencies, reduces slap echo, and yet does not destroy ambienc... | |
| Wire type for dedicated lines.?? Yes, on three dedicated lines. If you have analog in your system, put the digital on one side of the (2) 120V supply lines to your home, and the analog on the other feed. The brand of standard sheath clad copper wiring does not matter as much as t... | |
| Hospital Grade Wall Outlets Right, we are not on a discussion topic about vinyl. The color of the vinyl used to manufacture LP's actually DOES affect the sound. Luckily, as you point out, the AC outlet color does not effect performance. If you mount an ivory outlet, centered... |
