@bdp24 for what it’s worth, I recently completed a similar project. My electrician installed a 20A circuit breaker/line at the bottom of the panel far away from large appliances and anything on a dimmer.All existing wires and cables exit through t...

@dgarretson @atmasphere thanks for your feedback. I am trying different loads to see if I can hear pros and cons and I can. Currently I am listening at 1K ohm. It sounds great however there is a bit of distortion. Possibly it's the recording, I am... 
Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.?
@24phun @jond I agree with Boyd & Blair but I am also a homer and support the local stuff. Another one that I will soon try is McLaughlin Distillery’s 7X Vodka...made around the corner from me..

@stevecham thanks, highs and lows both sound good at 250 ohms. I think the lower value plays to my listening room (hardwood floors, lots of hard surfaces, etc.)

@atmasphere got it thanks. I see RadioShack still has them and I still have a RadioShack near me. How do I hook this in to my preamp? A step by step would be great. Thanks again.

@atmasphere thanks, can you please clarify the following:"Turn down the control until the highs seem to go away and then back off." What control are you speaking of? I am using a Pass Labs XP-15 if that helps. Thanks.

Zu/Omen in LA?
@jkontuly I believe Gerrit goes to Newport. I can only comment on the Zu Soul MKIIs as they are in my system. On a side note, there's a really nice looking pair of Zu Soul Superflys in the marketplace. They do not have the nano tech upgrade howeve...

@miner42 I empathize with you. I would reach out to Manley regarding the shipping fee. Great it's under warranty and they'll fix it but it's not free if you have to shell almost $100 to get it there, especially if it's a faulty unit to begin with....

@sschmidt Then that is all that matters. Glad it worked out for your friend.
