| The last 20 years of Home Power Have Been Amazing While we're on the subject of plugs and outlets, is anyone aware of a high quality NEMA L6-30P 30 Amp Twist Lock 240 Volt 2 Pole 3 Wire. Both male and female? All I can find are run of mill Leviton plugs in the $20 range. You can spend $$$$ on ... | |
| The last 20 years of Home Power Have Been Amazing @jea48 I appreciate your comment. All of the household wiring that runs behind the plywood necessitated an additional piece of backing. As it is, we relocated a number of breakers to position the listening room breakers directly below the surge... | |
| The last 20 years of Home Power Have Been Amazing @erik_squires Up here in Canada, the concept of surge protectors flies under the radar. Nothing in the building code. We need Arc Fault breakers on any lines that have outlets. Lines with only lights and switches still use regular breakers. I... | |
| The last 20 years of Home Power Have Been Amazing Forgot the picture. 🤣 | |
| The last 20 years of Home Power Have Been Amazing @erik_squires We just moved into a new home and I'm currently developing the basement around a dedicated listening room. I found it really helps to have a son-in-law who is a master Electrician. I ran all the wiring but I like to leave the liv... | |
| Good choice for 20' XLR cable? @lovehifi22 I have been very satisfied with cables from Morrow in the past. They have several price points to fit your budget. They are always on sale so never buy unless 50% off min. They have very good customer service and will answer your ... | |
| Tubes I would list the inventory on AudioMart for free, no reasonable offer refused. Buy one or buy them all. People in the tube game should know what you have and what they want. Nothing to lose but some tubes? Just a thought. Cheers. | |
| Which subwoofer should I get? I have two REL S/812s in my system. I like them very much. My one complaint would be the lack of an app or more specifically, a remote control. I find it impossible to tune the subs into the system as one size does NOT fit all. Sure they are f... | |
| Help with Equitech 1.5Q power conditioner What is the amp rating on the GFI plug and the total amps you have connected to it? That should answer your overloading question. I would start by thoroughly inspecting all the power cables you have running in the system. If there is a bad grou... | |
| Location of compoments. I have never understood the issue of having the equipment rack between the speakers. It is generally placed back of the speaker plane. Stereo imagine after-all is an illusion created by our brain, based on how the vibrations coming from the left ... | |
| WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN YOUR CHEAPEST SYSTEM VS. MOST EXPENSIVE SYSTEM? About the same difference from my first second hand '65 MGB and a newer Mercedes. They both have 4 wheels but the comparison ends there. I wouldn't even know where to begin. Throw in age 17 to 70, musical tastes, environment and what the hell, ... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers For what it's worth, I have the Rega P8. The dust cover supplied by Rega protects the unit while not in use, and is designed in such a way it can't possibly be used while the TT is in use. I hope Rega knows more about this issue than I do, and w... | |
| Looking for contact info for dealer / reseller Richard Do I don't know your guy, but I usually meet my dealer under a streetlight, near the dark end of the street. Happy New Year. 🥳 | |
| The # 1 Christmas Album At last count I own 53 Christmas CDs. One of my favourites is BB King's CD "A Christmas Celebration of Hope" I don't know that I've heard BB voice sound better. Just a terrific recording. When I want to leave the traditional Christmas fare, I ... | |
| 2024 Form 1099-K IRS tax reporting threshold on PayPal? Are you not being taxed only on profit, or capital gain as it may be called. Has anyone in the history of selling used equipment even made a profit? I fail to understand why the government wants to bother with this. What am I missing? Is Presiden... |
