Why so many Hegel's for sale?
So, there's an 590 that just sold with the same pic as another that is currently for sale. Same price, different members.  
Suggestions for replacement for my old Nuforce AVP-18 surround sound processor
The AVM 60 does not have amps in it. I have the lower 720 Anthem (with amps) and I would absolutely go with the 60. You also get great room correction.I've never turned on the amps in the 720 since day one. I immediately hooked up an external amp ... 
You can't have too many bass traps...
Bass traps are actually not the right tool for 60 Hz. Well, that's why in my original post I said one needs to define what a bass trap is. Generally speaking, people buy "Bass traps" to tame all that low  bass output. Whether they are right or... 
You can't have too many bass traps...
Good advise given already. First you have to define what a bass trap is, to answer the question. If a "bass trap" reduces 60hz by 5% of what's needed but reduces 30% of 2k level, then what would happen to your sound after installing the 20 bass tr... 
IsoAcoustic Gaia III with Focal Sopra 2
"I have an email into IsoAcoustic as well so will post those results"^^^ That's your answer. I had the same problem and chose to Email them as a last resort. I went to local big box stores, machine supply, etc... with no luck. I was at my wits end...

Oh well, I did it again.I made a list of great gear I would get. Very pricey stuff that I wouldn't have been able to afford otherwise. I even wrote the prices next to each item to make myself feel better about carrying them back home. As I was abo... 
What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have?
At 16 years old I started bodybuilding. In other words, I started lifting weights in my mother's basement.  Ha. I loved it and been doing it until 2 years ago at 48-49 years old. The big injury finally got to me.Lifting weights absolutely changed ... 
Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music?
Rythmik. At least look into them.I have a medium/ large area and use 2 HP Rythmik 15" subs.  They do anything you ask them to do. High damping acts like a speaker. Start and stop on a dime. I believe it's the servo design. You wouldn't know I have... 
Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician?
"@ cissadoGood post except in the case of where the duplex receptacle device may have been used as a junction for the make up of neutral and Hot conductors coming in and going out of the outlet box."I'm not sure what this means exactly. Maybe beca... 
Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician?
I would not open the panel if you dont have to. You've gotten a lot of good advice here. Like mentioned above, I would shut off the breaker to the circuit, then open up the closest receptacle to the panel that would be reversed polarity.  If you f... 
Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician?
Oh, I misread. You just need to reverse one, then the next one in line will be fixed. 
Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician?
Hopefully you fix the last receptacle in the circuit, otherwise you'll have to change out the rest because they'll now be reversed. Well, it seems you've done it. Congrats. 
Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician?
Yes, it's usually the first one that needs fixing which fixes the next in line.I would get that plugin tester for the rest if the house anyway and make your job easier.Good luck
