Grounding Metal Outlet Boxes and Isolated Ground Receptacles
In metal conduits.  Single run of 12G braided wire in each conduit.  Run from subpanel is <8 ft in all cases.  Probably 20 or so lines coming of the subpanel.  Don't know about the interconnects.  There are 2 legs, but all my equipment fits on ... 
Grounding Metal Outlet Boxes and Isolated Ground Receptacles
jea48,I am in a near identical situation and would love your (or anyone else who knows) feedback.  Don't want to hijack the thread, but I don't see a way to send a direct message on AGon anymore (haven't been on the site for some years now).  In s... 
REL G2 or JL Audio F112 ..thoughts for 2 channel
Interesting thread. I have posted on my experience with integrating subs as well. I went from a single REL Studio III to a pair of JL F113's. Integration was SIMPLE and I am not technical at all. The JL's were half the price and sound much better,... 
Best tube dac available?
I heard the Zanden one box CD player on a pair of wilson sashas at CES and it was flawless. 
Worlds best DAC
Arnie,I was in the room with that dac while a friend was listening to something else by that distributor. I thought it was on static display. I wasn't aware that it was a contender. It looked nice as I recall. Do you know the price? 
Worlds best DAC
The yspsilon does 24/196 and is non-oversampling. I heard no noise. Systems were crystal clear, detailed, and completely lacking in digital harshness. It's possible the show conditions don't reveal deficiencies in deep bass and possibly noise floo... 
Should I upgrade to the Theta casablanca III HD
Got the upgraded Theta installed last week mated with an Oppo BDP-95 running HDMI. All I can say is that if there is something better than this I'd like to hear it. I'm floored by the quality of the audio. Absolutely ridiculously good! The differe... 
Can Vandy's get along with cats?
Unfortunately, I would often return from work and find my new kitten hanging from one paw on the sock of my Vandys. It was quite a sight, both funny and disturbing. I had no money at the time to fix them, so I just watched him put multiple snags i... 
Two JL F212s verses two Velodyne 18 plus?
I think 2 F113s is more than enough for your room. 
Should I upgrade to the Theta casablanca III HD
I have 1 extreme and 1 superior 2. I am seriously leaning toward the upgrade at this point. 
REL G1 vs JL Fathom F113 subwoofer
Thanks alpha3I agree that the JL was easy to integrate. I assume the ability to calibrate the sub makes a lot of difference. The alexandrias have very good bass. The JLs provide a foundation and slam that is awesome. I have heard Gothams integrate... 
REL G1 vs JL Fathom F113 subwoofer
I had a REL Studio III with synergistic cables. A pair of JL F113's is so superior that the difference is incalculable. Also at half the price! 
ipod as source?
MSB makes an iPod that is modified so the DAC is bypassed. It's a very nice unit. Somewhat expensive though. 
Subwoofer for Wilson Maxx2
Sorry, I was on family vacation. I have used Tara Omega, and currently use Transparent Opus. Both are excellent, however the transparent are unparalleled in my (limited) experience. I have demoed a few others (Valhalla, Kubala) which had definite ... 
Subwoofer for Wilson Maxx2
I agree with Mgmmgm. My room is a bit wider than yours, and viewing from the side seats is barely acceptable. Also, my room is heavily treated including multiple bass traps that were NECESSARY to control boomy bass with the Maxx 2. I would definit...
