| The Hub: QUAD ESL-57, Some good things last a lifetime. Welcome back, audiomagnate! For vocals and small scale acoustic music (Baroque, Chamber, Folk, Bluegrass) the original Quad is still unequalled. Like you, I have other speakers for other music, but will never be without a pair of Quads. | |
| Sources for information and/or advice on dedicated AC lines desired I think most people would be considering installing a new sub-panel, being fed from the main panel and dedicated to the system room, not a new, separate service line from the street to a new, second main panel. With the sub-panel, no new grounding... | |
| Sources for information and/or advice on dedicated AC lines desired euchlerera---I too had thought that was something that might be done, but in reading the various threads I was referred to here (thanks again guys!), I learned that it absolutely should NOT be done, and is illegal anyway! The grounding arrangement... | |
| Which is the Better Tonearm - Pro-Ject or Rega? The Audiomods Classic (which uses the Rega 303 arm tube) is better than either. A UK arm handmade by a designer and master machinist, whose website will tell you all about the design. | |
| Critical listening or a reason to keep tinkering? Spend more on your music library than your system. | |
| Thorens TD 125 MK II with TP 16 tonearm - What's it worth? Make sure the 125 doesn't have a problem in it's electronics. It's a somewhat complicated and finicky design, and I and others have had the electronics malfunction, a problem whose source is very hard to identify. Three trips to the repair shop wi... | |
| Sources for information and/or advice on dedicated AC lines desired Found the thread Bill, did a post. Hope it wasn't too long-winded! | |
| ASC tube trap full round with dark and light sides - diffusing vs absorbing Ah ha, okay. Were the two-color traps a limited time offering? I’ve never seen even a photo of one. I'll be setting mine back up again soon---I'll have to give them a call myself to find out what the seam side is. | |
| Sources for information and/or advice on dedicated AC lines desired Sure would Bill, I’ll get over there and find it. I gotta include that Forum in my daily routine; I’m not a regular like I should be. I met Steve in the Tower Records in Sherman Oaks in the mid-90’s, and arranged to interview him for Mike Fremer (... | |
| Sources for information and/or advice on dedicated AC lines desired Oh, it is Ghost! Thanks again everybody, the research continues. Thanks for the invite FF; I'm actually just across the border in Vancouver, Washington. A nice, quiet, all-residential single-family home neighborhood---no light industry or other no... | |
| ASC tube trap full round with dark and light sides - diffusing vs absorbing I've never seen or even heard of half & half colored ASC tube traps, but I do know that the reflective versus absorptive side can be identified by the location of the seam. One or the other is centered on the seam, but I don't remember which. ... | |
| treasure kt 88 vs vintage tung Sol 6550 Have you compared the Gold Lion reissue KT-88 vs. the Treasure? | |
| Sources for information and/or advice on dedicated AC lines desired Great, thanks fellas. Your insights and referrals have given me a good start. So far I have concluded to proceed thusly:- Verify the availability of empty spaces on the electrical panel (there is no sub-panel; it's just a moderately-sized three be... | |
| Sources for information and/or advice on dedicated AC lines desired Oh, and if there is a particular high performance-to-price ratio AC outlet anyone wants to recommend, be my guest. I'm open to having my skepticism regarding them dissuaded ;-). | |
| Any vocals that you like? The Everly Brothers Cadence and early Warner Brothers recordings (on Ace Records, a great UK company) and Roy Orbison's Monument stuff. Great voices, great songs, fantastic production and sound! |
