More Questions about Dedicated Circuits
Rick, sounds like you need a new electrician. There is no problem with putting the circuits on one side. There is a "hot" bar your breakers attach to, a set of terminals for the neutral wires, and a set of terminals for the ground wires. The elect...

mcintosh 7270 questions
Having owned many Mac amps, I can tell you there is indeed something wrong with your control knob. It has click points for meter-hold, and regular meter swing. Also, your lights are out on your meters. I have never seen it possible that you could ...

Help, new amp causing "buzzing" in speakers
I've had this same problem with Parasound and Adcom amps, and using a cheater plug(floating the ground) will solve your problem. 
What is your most beautiful component?
Mac gets my vote also! My C39-6 and Mc7200 are gorgeous with the lights off, and not too shabby with them on, either! 
Tweeter for ADS L620's
I own quite a few ADS speakers, and I can tell you ADS is of no help. Contact Cosmophonic Sound in NY, as they now handle all service work for ADS. Contact Tom. Sorry, I don't have their number handy where I can get to it at the moment.
