HELP - Electrical / Wiring with new build of home
Hmm... perhaps I need to buy a few of those bulk tape erasers, and fabricate a contraption to "sweep" over my aluminum feed to the breaker box prior to listening sessions. Damn, Tvad! Perhaps this will work out alright! 
Preamp for H20 Signature S250
Unsound & Mr.Bill - By all means thank you for chiming in. I should have mentioned at that point in time (many years ago, obviously) I auditioned in home the Line 1, and only heard the Line 2 at the dealers. My funds were less modest back then...

LoL - Tvad, you have just about hit the nail on the head! That is, with the look I got from the wife, while I was discussing this with my father on the phone tonight... if I don't let it go, I just may get the nail in my head!That is really going ... 
Fake plants behind speakers a good idea?
I have used the silk ficus trees back from the days of Martin Logan's - placed behind the speaker and it did help with diffraction and imaging. I have em, so they usually stay in the rear front corners behind the speakers. I have also seen this se...

Forgot and I meant to, that the builder building our home is supposedly a "very reputable" builder... Builder of the year last year, and they were selected by 'Better Homes & Gardens' magazine to build their annual "dream home" this year. So, ... 
HELP - Electrical / Wiring with new build of home
Thanks to all whom have responded. It seems that it is more than widely accepted here in Georgia (not sure if this is a state or regional thing) that the drop from the breaker panel to the meter, as well as from the meter is usually aluminum. I ha...

Preamp for H20 Signature S250
Forgot to mention, in my experience I felt the latter Sonic Frontiers gear, the 1, 2, etc. to be a bit too sterile. Yes, they employed tubes in their design, yet to me it was not discernable by listening. Too "untubelike" for me.I would also menti...

Wow, nice preamp Rlf! I am sure that is a glorious combination!I have spoken to a couple, perhaps a few that are using the Supratek preamps with the H2o's and are very happy.I owned the First Sound Presence Deluxe Mk II prior to driving to Henry's... 
New H20 Signature S250
Man, it is good to have some affirmation here of others who have used good tube amps and now are satisfied with the Sig H2o's. I wasn't quite sure I was hearing correct, so I did listen well over 1,000 hours on the H2o Sig Mono's before posting a ...

Vandersteen's Low Spousal Acceptance Factor
If you like the Vandy sound, I would look at picking up a used pair of Meadowlarks...I can sympathize with you on the Vandy's, I too like their sound, and the better half (the wife) said, "there is NO way in HELL you are paying thousands of dollar... 
Question about quality of Meadowlark
Have owned the Osprey's, Nighthawks, and now the Blue Heron 2's. No trouble to mention. However, now that everything is boxed up (building a new home) and crated, I certainly don't want to sustain any damage at this point, eh? 
would this combination work?
I thought I was the only one who noticed that... Raul always bashing ZYX and stating the Shelter 90X is much better. Well, I hapened to have a dealer familiar with the shelter line that set up my Airy 3S SB that said it smokes the Shelter. So unle...
