MULTIPLE ARM TURNTABLE
Some phono preamps have inputs for multiple arms, e.g. ARC, Pass. 
Dedicated Line Noise Filter?
lowrider57 If the subpanel (containing breakers for 2 lines) takes a feed of hot, neutral, and safety ground from the main panel, are these 2 new lines truly dedicated?   IOW, by tying in to the main panel (which may have shared neutrals an... 
Tonearm microphonics
rauliruegasBtw, @cleeds : do you tested it? not yet?I tested my pickup arm for microphonics before I purchased it. Limiting microphonics is a critical function of a good pickup arm.  
Directionality of wire
terry94 As to my remark about the pins of a phono cartridge, it was you who brought up the notion of source. If you now wish to recant, that’s fine with me There is nothing for me to recant. What I asked was: " What common point do all components... 
Directionality of wire
I wrote:Second, the purpose of the extra shield is to minimize noise. One way to do that is to have all grounds at the same potential. terry9 sezBut that is already achieved with the negative wire of the balanced line. We’re talking about single-e... 
Directionality of wire
terry9This method of connection (shield to the insensitive end) has been used in pro audio since Cain first cryo’d Able’s tubesIf by "insensitive end" you mean the amplifier end - as George stated - then you are completely confused.First, we’re ta... 
Tonearm microphonics
I agree with clearthink on this. A phono cartridge is not a microphone and microphonic behavior in a turntable system is something you want to minimize. The best turntable/pickup arm/phono cartridge combinations can virtually eliminate microphonic... 
Directionality of wire
georgehifiWith today’s quality RCA interconnects, it’s because most of them use 2 core inner cables "with an earth shield only connected at one end." This end should be leading to the poweramp end of signal direction ...That isn't consistent w...

Curved and Straight Tonearms
^^^^^^^^^It would be really nice if you two guys would stop the name-calling and return to the topic of this thread: Curved and straight tonearms.  
Warm, rich sounding interconnects?
rotariusczarivey, I have worked in engineering across several industries.  All the components for equipment "made in USA" came from China.That's nonsense.  
Best indoor FM antenna, your experience.
donvito101There is no FM antenna that has a range of 50 to 80 miles.To be clear, that's certainly the case with an indoor antenna, which is what I think you might be referring to here.  But with a good outdoor antenna system, it's definitely pos... 
Dedicated Line Noise Filter?
gdnrbobYour electrician probably did everything to code.We already know that he didn't follow code. The electrician didn't get the required construction permit and the project wasn't inspected by a city official before it was put into use.  
Dedicated Line Noise Filter?
jea48I would be willing to bet, in most States electrical permits are not pulled for the limited type of electrical work lowrider57 had done in his home. We have different definitions of "limited electrical work." the OP had " 2 dedicated line... 
Dedicated Line Noise Filter?
lowrider57 The company that I use has about 20 electricians on staff. They come to the house to give a free estimate, then return about a week later to do the work. Perhaps they get the necessary permit before starting the job.The permit is held b...
