PS Audio power plants
MitchB;Also scroll through the archives at this site, you will find PLENTY of "threads" on the PS Power Plants -- almost ALL unanimously positive. My P300 w/Multi-Wave still remains one of the best audio purchases I've ever made. Denf

Anyone compared Premium AC wire to regular romex?
Is it possible to add another, seperate breaker box, say 20 feet away from the main panel, on the same inside wall as the main breaker?? 
Anyone compared Premium AC wire to regular romex?
Thanks for the info. "Garfish"!!BTW, what exactly is "TNNH" wire that you mention? Where can you puchase and what is the cost? (I'll probably use SOME of the V. Dynamics wire, but as my main panel is 50+' from my room, I can't afford to use more t... 
Antique Sound Lab....Triode????
I wonder if Mr. Pearson gave the oil caps the necessary 200+ break-in hours needed?Perhaps this (while maybe too simplistic?) explains the slight disparity between the two reviewers?I too will also "join in the fray" with my comments, when I recei... 
Absorbtion or Diffusion with dipolar speakers???
Thanks guys!!All GREAT ideas/responses!What if you are able to get between 6 - 8 feet "behind" the speaker? Still need diffusion, or, is the signal then "delayed" enough that nothing is necessary??denf 
Hybrid amps, best of both worlds?
Llanno "Trinity" 300, or 200. Reasonably priced, built like a tank, features that even the Lamm amps don't have (such as seperate power cord/supply for the single-ended Triode front end).Check out the web site www.llanodesign.comI have owned CJ Ev...

What is the Best amp for Martin Logan
Ironically, the INNERSOUND ESL amp (a M.L. "competitor") is a fantastic match with ANY Logans' that I've heard them hooked up to. Around $1500. used. 
Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems
Tireguy, thanks for the info.Are you refering to the AudioQuest "Big Feet" type half-circle pods? I think these are made from Sorbothane, yes?I have my Capitole on the Vibra-Pods, on a Sanus stand, which has "independent" shelf isolation, but am a... 
Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems
For what it's worth... I had to replace the tubes in my version 1 24/192 about 3 months after purchase. One channel was exhibiting "tube rush" noise. I was able to get replacement tubes from Triode Electronics (sorry, don't have web site, but shou... 
Best Power Cord
Hey guys! I've heard/owned the Whale Elite, Wireworld Electra, Black Mamba, and most recently Virtual Dynamics "Audition". The Acoustic Zen "Krakatoa" had the slight edge, in all parameters, at least in MY system.But hey, they were ALL pretty darn... 
Opinions on Classe Amps?
I once owned the CA301, thought is was pretty good until a friend "loaned" me his Innersound ESL.The ESL "killed" the CA301, in every single parameter. This was most noticable with my M.L. Requests, but was also apparent on a pair of Hale T5's.Jus... 
Headphone amplification
Also, if the above mentioned are a little to pricey, check out the excellent Wheatfield headphone amps.I own an HA-1 (w/Senn. HD600's) and love it! All tube, PILLIOD transformer, built like a tank.Around $530.Here's a link to a review; http://www....
