Low Voltage on Circuit
Hey SeanI just bought the Tripp Lite LC 1800. It's a 15 amp voltage regulator/surge protector/noise remover. It should be here sometime next week. Hopefully it fixes my problems.

Here's another link for that voltage regulator. Is 5 amp and 600W output enough to feed the Rogue Monoblocs and my tubed pre?http://www.tripplite.com/products/conditioners/specs/index.cfm?model=LS604

Low Voltage on Circuit
I found this product for super cheap. It does voltage regulation, surge protection and some conditioning.  
Low Voltage on Circuit
Glen, we are actually in the middle of a heat wave, which might explain the low voltage in the area. This problem only started happening when it started getting hot here in Toronto. I'm guessng it's because of the A/C usage in the area. Do you thi... 
Low Voltage on Circuit
Hey guys, thanks for the tips. Does most equiment have something in the power supply to compensate for low/high voltage? Is there some way to implement this externally? 
Low Voltage on Circuit
Glen, with no load on the circuit there is 115V, with all the equipment powered on it is 112.7V dipping to 110V sometimes. If I owned my own place I would surely use dedicated 20 amp circuits for each Monobloc and 15 amp for the sources. I am curr...

CDR Fidelity?
If you're burning on a computer use the program "Exact Audio Copy". I tried this program and got better results than with the standard Nero or Roxio, but the copies were still worse than the originals. I have to agree that burning on a computer sy... 
Musical Fidelity A3 CD-also Resolution Audio CD 50
I owned the A3 and found it to be lacking in a few areas. Firstly, even when paired with it's brother, the A3 integrated, it was very bright. I also found it to be "unmusical", which I usually determine by playing some tracks with Piano solos... I... 
Need upgrade, sell the B&W 602 and get a tube amp?
Truthrider, that is a fair assessment. Be sure to audition them in your system if possible. Cables will also make a world of difference.

Bradz, with new tube equipment I usually give 2-4 weeks to fully open up. Please write a quick summary of your findings of the 99 :) 
Need upgrade, sell the B&W 602 and get a tube amp?
With 2K you could do tonnes of good things with this system. I'm not sure what your priorities are when it comes to 2 channel vs HT percentages, but I can only say that money spent on some good cables like some Virtual Dynamics Audition speaker an...
