| Time for dedicated outlets! cerberus79#12 wire is rated for 20 amps and #10 is rated for 30 amps. If you use a 20 amp breaker it will trip at 85% of rating so what is the point of going to #10. Derating the wire will reduce voltage drop. The calculation of the proper gaug... | |
| Time for dedicated outlets! creekmaster10-2 use silver paste to coat the wire ends before attaching to breaker ,better yet would be to install breaker panel sub box near where it enters wall and use a grounding rod driven in to the ground 12' 5/8" dia.,then you eliminate ... | |
| Outlet 801d ... would a dedicated 20amp circuit be the way to go wanted to get 120 volts all the time and get away from voltage dips I get any where from 119v to 105v in the summertime is this hard on the amp? Are you in the US? If so, 105VAC is ... | |
| MRI grade vs Hospital grade electric outlets I'm not sure why you'd want to use 30A outlets. They would require using a plug not compatible with 15A/20A outlets without gaining any particular advantage. | |
| Time for dedicated outlets! lowrider57Something that I’ve wondered about, electricians use staples when running cables. Any audible effect ? (as long as they don’t pierce the jacket).I think clips are preferable to staples. That's what my electrician uses. | |
| Experiences buying used cartridges vegasearsBuying a used phono cartridge for me would be like buying a used Tooth Brush!+1 That's very well said! | |
| FM alive and well here...curious question schubertSeems OK to me, WI public radio puts out an uncompressed signalThere’s no such thing as a real radio station that transmits an uncompressed signal. They all have signal processors in the audio chain, either before the STL, or before the t... | |
| FM alive and well here...curious question tablejockey is the sound quality of playing an online statin equal to a nice tuner?In a word: No. It's not even close. | |
| FM alive and well here...curious question The advantage to using a "real" antenna - by which I assume you mean a directional antenna - isn't just the added gain, but the potential for reduced multipath and the distortion that goes along with it. Whether that would be noticeable on your s... | |
| Pass Labs ^^^^^^^^^^^ We are way OT here, schubert, but what you're talking about aren't military failures. They are political failures/problems. | |
| Pass Labs schubertOn the richest country, yes we are as a COUNTRY, bottom 50% make less that in several dozen countriesIf you measure wealth per capita, the US is not the richest country. Not even close.If you measure a nation’s wealth by its natural resou... | |
| High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference? jjss49 anyone here able to do direct, head on comparisons?Either approach can yield outstanding sound. I'd put Oracle and Linn at the top of the low-mass designs - I had an Oracle Delphi for years and it was superb. I've long since returned to a... | |
| Amp current - how much high current to go for yogiboyAny solid state amp that is worth its salt should double the power into 4 ohms,or come close to it!Sorry, but I don't think that's true at all. For example, many McIntosh SS amplifiers use autoformers on the output, so they are rated to d... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... jinjuku I believe the method is scientifically valid and I haven’t seen any material counterpoint to it.At least three contributors in this thread have explained how your test fails to meet scientific protocol. So either you're not paying attent... | |
| ZYX Ultimate with carbon fiber cantilevers -- listener reviews? don_c55$15,000 for a cartridge.No matter what anyone says about the quality, that is absurd!It's a subjective judgment. I'd never pay that kind of money for a phono cartridge. But many people think that what audiophiles commonly pay for component... |
