| What wire to use instead of Romex mandink 10 gauge wire matches with a 30 amp breaker in the electrical panel ... Not necessarily. Using 10AWG wire with a 20A breaker can help reduce voltage drop. The possible problem with #10 wire and a 20 amp breaker is that if the cop... | |
| Electrical question jea48 our over the range microwave/ hood vent fan unit is rated at 17.7KW. 1700W / 120v = 14.17 amps. My 200A electrical service doesn’t even care when it’s running. My central air outdoors condensing unit draws more than that at 240V. Even ... | |

| Do I need a MC cartridge now? Or an attenuator? I think trying to make that combination of cartridge and phono preamp work well together is going to be an exercise in kludgery that will result in you not getting the best out of either component.

| antiskate disc mylogic @cleeds “That sounds unlikely” “What the heck are you using for VTF?” is misinforming you. Where exactly is the misinformation there? Anyone who has ever had a test record with a test band for bias (anti-skate) adjustment can tell yo... | |
