| Aluminum wiring Ive put in a bunch of Al services meaning from the meter to the homes main braker panel all the wire was aluminum.Ive put in a bunch made of all copper too.To my knowledge, all is well with each instance, regardless the metal choice.Provided t... | |
| Slate under speakers? If you're not afraid to move things around, I suspect various types of materials placed between the feet of the speakers and the materials being used atop the carpeting will yeild various results.Sorry ... hate to put it that way but that's my exp... | |
| mcintosh and b.a.t. I'd second Bobs input.of the two lines I like the SS amps each maker has produced. Favs there are the MC602 and the BAT VK500 w/BAT pk. Although each provides different levels of power out, their overall voicing is similar. Naturally, the vk500 wo... | |
| oppo bdp 83 with integra 9.8 processor Path of least resistance first... go HDMI.The 83 came with one so there's that.if it doesn't suit you... try another config.I'm thinking the 83's video chip set came out after the 9.8 and is a different type... for myself I see no reason to switch... | |

| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers Just because it's pertinent and works, I'll interject this once again... and from time to time for the newbies and other's.A great front end makes even decent speakers better.Determining your goals in advance will make your speaker choices fewer a... | |
| Amp switcher HifitimeI sure do appreciate the concern, I must say I've some reservations... with my mono blocks at least.My butler TDB 5150 apparently has some built in safeguards so that amps which are energized yet not connected to a speaker load are safe...... | |
| Oyaide, Hubble, FIM etc, any consensus on flavors? PS.... rather .... exchange the old plug AFTER all is run in down the road when you've nothing better to do, and see for yourself then. | |
| Oyaide, Hubble, FIM etc, any consensus on flavors? Donjr A new ded ckt will take some time to run in too... so you're right with that bit.Ded ckts are a step up but not a tremendous one. Noticeable seems to fit here best.I'd simply join it all in at once and let it ride as both the plug and line n... | |

| Where to go from here? Don't want to throw a wrench into anyone's working plan, BUT I've always felt myself remiss if when seeking upgrade, if I don't preview the competition for the now 'prize in my eyes' along the way.$6K can get a lot of speaker... used. | |
