| Dedicated Power Lines I totally agree with MinorL every electrician I've worked with and talked to all say the same thing. This topic has been going on for years where other electricians have said more or less the same thing. I recall one electrician was so frustrated ... | |
| Power Cords - Just Say Yes I would say the first step would be to upgrade what's behind the wall. Like in plumbing, you start with bigger pipes and you go down in size when you reach your fixture. So if you use a bigger gauge power chord and the wire behind the wall is a sm... | |
| Need tube 101 info Get a hold of Jim Mcshane and ask about the current New Sensor Gold Lion series of 6922, and 6V6 tubes, which I believe your preamp uses. | |
| Rogue M-180 vs BAT vk150se Sorry after checking the speakers you are using, I would recommend a high powered solid state amp, and not a tube amp. So if you insist on tube power I would have to say get another speaker. Running tube and solid state power don't match, get a sp... | |

| Is my Pass amp overheating? I think you are making a mountain out of a mole hill, I would just get a fan or two, place one under the amp and or one on top of the amp sucking out. I recommend using the Noctua NF-P14FLX fan. | |

| dedicated power line for audio equipment First get a electrician who is good with commercial installations. Pull a 100 amp feed and wire it to a Square D commercial panel with a on and off capability (switch or breaker), make sure it has enough circuits (one for each component). Make sur... | |
| Rookie; replace my own amplifier caps?? True temperature is a key factor but also listed are other factors. I like to use cars as an example because we all can relate to it. The old lady down the road that uses her car once a week to go shopping a block away going 20mph versus a young m... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Just another point of view, a key question is why so many different points of views and results. The first step in building a stereo or home theatre system should be the electrical, the level of electrical would determine what type of components y... | |
| Upgraded power cables- Who's on First? I second that, and also add that the minimum gauge be at least 10 gauge, and a dedicated line for each component to start. |
