| Phono cable recommendations - high performance good value cable bpolettiIt’s all about cable resonances. The very small signal from the cart and from the transformer will and does generate resonances in all the components. A cable must either reduce the resonances or let them pass.How do you know there is res... | |
| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES tomfooleryAnd yes, you can replace a 15 amp outlet with 20 amp one. It makes thing safer!You can replace a 15A outlet with a 20A outlet provided the wire connecting the outlet to the panel is of the gauge specified under the NEC and your local ... | |
| Solid core power cords under 300$ - List of manufacturers ? auxinput... low grade copper will not be able to charge/discharge the higher frequencies and you’ll have high frequency roll off.Could you please explain these "high frequencies?" Isn’t a power cord set at 60 hZ in the US, by definition? In addit... | |
| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES laserjock1963If you have 12ga wire and a 20A breaker, just change the receptacleCheck NEC and local codes. How long is the branch circuit? Is the wire in conduit or confined space? 12ga might not be sufficient and even when it is, it's a minimum... | |
| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES lowrider57Running both lines to the ground bar in the panel means that they will share the same ground, less chance of a ground-loop.This is required by NEC in the US. All grounds must be connected to the ground bus at the service panel. | |
| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES elizabethThe requirement for a 20 amp service line is 12 gauge wire....As long as we are getting all technicalNot necessarily. Check the NEC and your local code. Code also almost always (there are some exceptions) requires that any "device" (rece... | |
| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES aniwolfeYou can use a 20a receptacle on a 15a line.Correct. But it's a violation of the NEC and potentially hazardous, because the 15A breaker can 't protect against the potential 20A load, would could cause overheating of the wire inside the wa... | |
| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES elizabeth... 20 amp duplex on 15 amp wires NEC says no. The NEC is not the wire police. They are guides used by electricians as to what they can and cannot do since they are contractors and THEY have legal and liability concerns ... Those co... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers profHow do you think we could determine hype from substance, and just as important, self-delusion from reality?The best approach is to use the same techniques that have proven effective in the rest of your life. After all, deceit and propaganda ... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic t_rameyAre business owners of audio products allowed to use a thread started by a customer ...That the posts you question have been allowed by the moderators should be sufficient information to answer your question, no? | |
| Interconnects and non-believers unreceivedogmaOk, accepting for the moment that the cable cultists are correct ...Correct in what? You’ve already stated that the question isn’t whether there’s a difference in cables. So what exactly is the argument you’re trying to make - other ... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers unreceivedogmaBleeds, nice try, but you and so many cable cultists and marketers here conflate ...You are either badly confused, or otherwise just being argumentative. I'm neither a "cultist" nor a marketer.You've already stated that it isn't whe... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers unreceivedogma... To some of these, a faith based approach is often applied. So too with COC (the Cult of Cables).Actually, you have this backwards. There's quite a bit of evidence that shows there can be audible differences between cables, some... | |
| Fundamentalist Fervor There is actually another thread here that looks at this same issue, but from a less provocative angle. In both cases the answer is really the same: There is no shortage of those who would tell others what to do, think and believe. The best respon... | |
| Analog "Guru" Wally Malewicz passed away This is very sad news. Wally was one of the first to recognize the real challenges of phono cartridge alignment and actually do something about it. His "Wallytractor" mirrored gauges allowed a new standard of accuracy for phono setup. He was a tru... |
