| The revolution has begun! To your ears you beat it, but to someone else, it may sound like crap....very subjective hobby....a lot of tail chasing with very little improvement in sound equals a lot of mula wasted....I'm done... | |
| Dedicated Line - Things to consider One line is sufficient, especially if you will be using a power conditioner with say 6 to 10 outlets. Also 12 gauge Romex (20 amp) circuit is all you really need. 10 gauge is harder to work with and not really necessary. Also, you need to be mindf... | |
| Perception and Watts: Doubling of power I believe a 3db increase in volume is perceived as twice as loud, not 10x power....that is what I’ve always read...anyhow.. https://www.logison.com/blog-article_/17588/blog-entry-19256/sometimes-change-isntgood#:~:text=A%203%20dB%20change%20yield... | |

Also, huge exaggerations about how much heat is produced. Will you stop using your oven? Jeez....lastly....If I AM paying MY ele... | |
