tommy:The DIs are remarkable for making all styles sound good. This is one of the first things you notice about them. Then there is the realistic dynamic range that enlivens the music and makes all sound "right there." They blossom naturally with ...

tommypenngotti:Am a musician as well and have had the DIs for over a year. They live in a living area a bit larger than yours and can make it sing as loud as I can stand. Listen equally to pop and classical music and like very loud orchestral musi...

CanIBeCavalier:It was the poodles. Now there are Cavadoodles running around everywhere. It's a good mix -- the cavalier's love and the poodle's smarts. They're hell in the bathtub, however...

Out walking the dogs and saw a monoblock on the side of the path; looked closer and there was a tear coming out of its right channel. “What's the problem?” “I'm a single monoblock living in a stereo world. Noone wants to turn me on (apologies, No...

Thanks djones51 and almarg -- this is very helpful perspective and should inform those on Audiogon who are in the process of configuring their systems.

Since there are electricians seeing this thread would like to ask them if 12/2 Romax is OK for 20 amp circuits. Is there some reason why 10/2 seems to be preferred in many audiophile installations? Is it the concept of "Overwire and Underbreaker?"

triumphtt02Like your half grills and have an extra set so am thinking of giving them a try. Did you maintain the bevel on the upper slat or just cut it off at the half piece slat? Am not sure of the effect this will have on my REW tuned system but...

blueranger:Why did you need to go to 30amps? Just fitted my system with a 20amp circuit for just the class A monoblocks and that's plenty of power. Are you using any kind conditioner or isolation transformer? The latter will solve those grid probl...
