Unconnected Drain Wires ?
Hi Tony,My suggestion would be turn off breaker feeding that outlet then just disconnect the ground at the receptacle. You could do it at the AC plug but I don’t think you want an unconnected ground wire flopping around in the plug body. Hey what ...

Unconnected Drain Wires ?
Hi Jim,What I make of it is everyone’s system and situation is different. If the weren't it would be much easier to design a line of cables that work well in all cases. For example Mr. Hansen of Ayre fame IIRC runs with all the grounds lifted on a... 
Unconnected Drain Wires ?
Hi Jea48,Since that is not my company I luckily don't have to explain it ;-), maybe they like the radio stations in Poulsbo, WA? I have heard before that that is how those lower end shunyatas are configured but I was unable to find that actually s... 
Unconnected Drain Wires ?

VTL 5.5 or Aesthetix Calypso
My experience is with fully modded SF Line2SE+ and then moving to a JC2 which with those amps was all around better. I am not missing the tubes (amazingly) not sure that this helped but might be something to think about.... 
DIY speaker wire: does insulation matter?

DIY speaker wire: does insulation matter?
From what you have written it seems that you are planning to use a un-insulated wire that you have and insulate it. Not a good idea. First there is already a layer of oxidation on the copper if it is un-insulated, second whatever you put on most l... 
DIY speaker wire: does insulation matter?
Cotton is a terrible suggestion as a dielectric for a copper conductor. Untreated cotton will absorb moisture from the atmosphere and allow unabated access of the atmosphere to the conductor. In the form that you will be using it in it's dc is a m... 
Parasound JC1s better using balanced inputs?

Upgrading the drivers on my old Definititive bp8
if you want better speakers, sell the def's and buy something else. I could go into all the reasons it is not a good idea but pretty much there is a 100% chance that anything you 'drop in' will give you worse sound regardless of driver cost.
