electrical phase
If you should decide to rearrange your household loads in the distrubution box, don't get so carried away that you wholly unbalance the loading of your drop transformer. You want basically equal current loads on both phases, when all loads in the ...

Isolation Cones. Will I get the point?
Hi Tim: If you think that this is bad just give Mike VansEvers a call. He'll have you playing with blocks all over again; wood blocks of different sizes & types of wood, located in different places throughout the listening room & even plac... 
Isolation Cones. Will I get the point?
Cones & other tweaks are system dependent; what works well for one won't necessarily help the next guy at all, or it might work even better. Experimentation is required, along with a system that's revealing & resolving enough to show you t... 
Klipschorns
While I'm not even close to believing that Klipsch's are the best ever made (of course they're not) they are still a pretty good speaker & I wouldn't trade mine for anything except maybe even better horns such as the Avantgarde's. I love the d... 
Suggestion for buying and selling on the site
I must disagree with Perfect. You simply have to manage your own dealings; not expect someone else with a big stick to force the issue. There may be perfectly legitimate reasons for backing out of a deal; it's happened to me both ways. Sure its ki... 
don henley anyone????
Agree with Building The Perfect Beast. Every cut is a winner IMO. 
wall to wall rug or linolium floor with area rug?
I also prefer a large area rug with speakers resting on tile. It's a livlier environment. Too much absorbtion takes out the sonic sparkle. 
Ceramic fuses..where to get 'em
Jphlips reports finding ceramic fuses at Home Depot. They are slow blow type (a regular fast fuse would offer somewhat better transient protection) but may likely still sound better than glass bases. I had no luck at Home Depot myself, but was abl... 
Why has Audiogon suspended "Wanted" ads?
nice job on this one Arnie & HIndmith. The wanted's now appear to be more popular than ever! 
MIT & Spectral -- but Which MIT?
Mj you can get all the advice you need from MIT rep. Joe Abrams, membername = joeabrams. He'll provide you with great advice & a great deal too. MIT makes a special line for Spectral but I don't see any of them in his present sale listing.http... 
Does it hurt when you sell at a loss?
Luis your solid state isn't necessarily "lesser" at all; many of us prefer solid state for numerous reasons. Myself I swear *at* tube equipment, not by it. But others love it & that's fine for them; I'm glad they're happy & I'm glad that I... 
Need more bass response
yay Doc: let's hear it for Tone Controls!I bought a $10K list Accuphase preamp for, among other reasons, Tone Controls! And for late nights when everyone else in the house is sleeping, it even has 3-stages of Loudness Compensation. All of that ext...

Ax you really need to experiment with cabling & tweaks; I didn't used to believe in this either until I tried it. Bottom line: you really don't know what your existing equipment is capable of until you find the right cables & tweaks to mak...
