Let's talk power cords
willemjGeoff when will you ever stop peddling this nonsense and waste our time? This is a forum for discussing things related to audio and music, so I think Geoff's comments belong here - whether you approve of them or not.When you say Geoff is ... 
Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used
jmcgrogan2I noticed that as well... my thought was those respondents were illiterate.Though perhaps you are correct, the naysayers are compulsive reactors, unable to control themselves, but not illiterate.I don't think they are illiterate. Instea... 
Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used
here’s what the OP stated:krelldog If your not a fan of after market cords....save me the speech. I already spent about 35K....I’m not using a stock power cord. Yet the group’s proselytizers can’t restrain themselves from their fundamentalist fer... 
In need of some Amplifier advice. Is therereally any point in it with my current setup?
moskaudio The only real basis I have for comparison are inifity r.s. 2.5 tower speakers with the 10" subs and 4 electrostats per tower. Which needless to say, blow the polks out of the water in the mid range and vocal area. That is one sweet spea...

We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
douglas_schroeder It might be interesting to see how many fuse Skeptics and Adopters own digital or analogue front ends. Could we add this to the survey?I'm a skeptic with both analog and digital front ends, but I'm not a naysayer. I learned l... 
what happened to the post on the sat tonearm?
invictus005Raul was just saying it like it is.Was he? Or was he drawing conclusions about a product that he’d never seen or heard, while disparaging those who’ve actually heard it and liked the result?It’s a bad tonearm. Its geometry produces hig... 
Romex and breaker switches
yogiboyThat makes no sense to dedicate one room with seven dedicated lines. How many circuit breakers will be left for the rest of the house?You can have as many breakers for the rest of the house as you like. If there aren't enough spaces in y... 
Romex and breaker switches
yogiboy Why would you want seven dedicated lines in one room? Because there are advantages to dedicated lines.Your house probably has 200 amp service. If you do that it doesn’t leave much for the rest of your home.It doesn’t work that way. A 20A... 
what happened to the post on the sat tonearm?
Insults; veiled insults; accusations of delusion, snake-oil and voodoo; all proselytized and prosecuted with the zeal of a fundamentalist savior. Such posts derail threads and discourage conversation. I applaud moderators for exercising good judgm... 
SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ?
While I agree that some of these specs seem odd, I learned long ago not to judge a component based solely on specifications.  
Romex and breaker switches
audioslain02"There can be advantages to using 10 gauge wire on a 20A circuit, including reducing voltage drop. It is difficult to work with, and using a pigtail into the outlet does make it easier to terminate."Not only is this a Code Violation, ... 
Romex and breaker switches
yogiboy0You don’t want to put a 30A breaker on a 20A circuit. Agreed! If you are using a 20A receptacle, you want a 20A breaker.For a 20 amp circuit 12-2 romex would be the correct gauge to use. If you use 10 gauge it will be difficult to ter... 
New or used cartridge
ebmGood luck with a used cartridge i only get a new one as i trust nobody to be honest with the hours on a used one.I couldn't agree more. A phono cartridge is the very last audio component I would ever consider buying used.  
What Do You Think Of This?
tomryanI'm not being sarcastic, I swear.  But why would someone want a tuner these days?To listen to FM. The audio quality of a really good FM signal is better than that of most radio station streams. Of course, the sq of most FM stations today i...
