| Hot Rats Lucky to have seen him three times in concert. Was listening to Brunt Weeny Sandwich just a couple weeks back. One of my all time favorites of his. Too many great works to pick just one. | |
| Is this a scam? @scottwsmith 100% scam. Just Google 10 biggest PayPal scams. All the info is right there. | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? @cleeds Since the OP simply stated he was running two new lines and did not mention any special conditions, I have assumed this is standard in home/wall wiring. Yes there may be other considerations if this not the case. I always assume the loc... | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? 12/2 NM Copper Wire. Available at any DIY store. All you will ever need to meet code and run 20 Amps. Go to 10/2 if it makes you feel good, even though there is probably zero benefit. You system can only draw so much current and the 12... | |
| Now using Spin Clean cloths for drying... The stuff in the grooves is the problem. Do you not think using a brush on the surface of your record is going to be pushing micro size particles back into the grooves? Same with a cloth laying on the surface of the record? Happy to be shown th... | |
| Now using Spin Clean cloths for drying... I use an ultrasonic record cleaner with distilled water, a bit of Spin Clean washing fluid and a little Kodak Photo-Flo 200 in the tank. Once the records are cleaned, I simply leave them on the spindle in a vertical position to dry for about 30 m... | |
| Soundstage and image height, does it exist? I run Acoustic Zen Crescendo speakers. Transmission line design. There is clearly the impression of height in the soundstage. Sometimes it's actually annoying to hear an instrument that appears to be several feet above the rest of the band. I p... | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? I have two REL S/812. The reason for two is mono block amps. I found the setup to be quite easy and once dialied in, the improved sound is well worth it. The only issue I have is playing the occational disk/LP that is very heavy in the low-end ... | |
| Best power cord for a preamp? I just typed "Power Cord" into search and find over 40,000 hits. Not sure why this topic is up again? The endless disscussion just goes round and round. You may as well be asking "what is the best shade of blue"? There will never be a concensu... | |
| Balanced versus single ended I am runnning Triode Audio TRX-M845 mono blocks into Acoustic Zen speakers. The exact set up that has won several "best in show" sound room awards. So I asked Triode what cable format they use. They answered they use RCA cables in every situati... | |
| High current power cables @carlsbad For the record, I run a dedicated 10 ga wire off a 20 amp breaker to a Furutech wall outlet, into a Furman power conditioner. Off this I run Puritan Ultimate power cables to my equipment. Solid silver interconnects etc.... I never cla... | |
| High current power cables @carlsbad I would never suggest you run a 26 ga power cord. I was suggesting that 12 ga wire on a 20 amp breaker is probably all the power/current that is required. My entire system draws about 3 amps when playing, regardless of the music. Pre... | |
| High current power cables If 12 ga wire can carry 20 amps or 2400 watts, and your equipment uses only a fraction of that, please explain why a bigger cable would provide any benefit. It's kind of like having a 500 HP engine in your car at the same time the maximum speed l... | |
| What size power cable? 12 ga wire can carry 20 amps, so as far as "size" goes, anything larger is simply a waste of money. There is no benefit in hooking up a cable that can provide more power than your equipment is abel to use? As for design, shielding, covering, fle... | |
| UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread You dudes all need to chill. Maybe take a journey to the center of your mind. 🤣 |
