| High end UPS for Expensive audio eequipments westom Power supplies already contain robust protection that makes most surges (including mythical ones from household appliances) irrelevant. That's absurd. Few devices contain serious protection against power surges. And I'm not sure why yo... | |
| Power conditioner help emailistsIf you want to contact me I can tell you more about why I chose that power conditioner over others after extensively reviewing the options.Why not please share that info with the entire forum? Isn't that what these forums are for? | |
| Speaker - Room/size dilemma erik_squires" ... Listen to your speakers from around 2' away. Then listen to them in their proper location. The difference in clarity, detail, air, etc. you hear is all due to room acoustics"Not exactly. That's because most speakers are designe... | |
| What's the benefit of balanced tonearm cables? john_tracy"He may have meant a balanced line with RCA termination. That is how I run my set-up. This presupposes that the RCA input of your phono pre is balanced ..."Yes, this can certainly be done, and it's worth repeating because many audio... | |
| What's the benefit of balanced tonearm cables? erik_squires"I've never heard of blanced cabled cancelling cable artifacts."It's not the balanced cabling so much, as using balanced connections into a differential amplifier. By definition, a differential amp should negate any effect of the cab... | |
| Dynavector DV 505 anti-skating question stringreen"As the weight c/g changes with this arm, the suspension will respond detrimentally’What is c/g? What do you mean when you say the " suspension will respond detrimentally?" This doesn’t make sense.There are turntables with lightly-sprung... | |

| Single ended vs xlr balanced erik_squiresRCA's don't lock in place, they more "squeeze in place" vs. EVERY XLR locks. Yes, every XLR locks in place. However, there is such a thing as a locking RCA connector. They are commonly available and they do not "squeeze in place." Th... | |
| In wall AC cables ozzyYour workaround would result in the smaller wire being the rated value. So, don't use a pigtail with a smaller gauge to a larger gauge.Yes, of course, but it's perfectly acceptable to use a pigtail when de-rating wire in the remainder of th... | |

| In wall AC cables erik_squires What exactly do you think is not allowed? 220V is an uncommon, but not illegal outlet type. It’s not the outlet that may not meet code, but your suggestion of a " 220 service to a transformer ($200 - $500 ish) professionally installe... | |
| In wall AC cables erik_squireThere are other safety issues involved with overrating cables in that they may increase the minimum break current of circuit breakers.It's not "over-rating," it's "de-rating," and perfectly within code. A 20A breaker should trip at t... | |
| In wall AC cables erik_squiresHonestly the normally recommended sizes is best. Having too low an impedance will encourage more noise going back and forth in the wires ... To get uber-fancy run a 220V 60 AMP line and dedicate 220->120 V transformers in the roo... | |
| Marantz and Stereophile? @erik_squires, you claimed "Stereophile has a lot of agendas going on," but when asked for examples, you can only remark that "all businesses have multiple agendas." That's a logical fallacy known as begging the question, i.e. using the premise... |
