| Dedicated power lines-getting started Has anyone else asked Belden tech support if 83802 or 03 is recommended for 110v power circuits? (besides me) It doesn't make much sense that putting a cable in a conduit when it is specifically designed to not need a conduit in the proper applica... | |
| MSB Passive Pre Vs. Placette Passive I have a Placette Passive and think it's great. If you buy one new there is no risk with an in-home trial. Every contact with Guy Hammel at Placette has confirmed the good reputation he has earned over the years. What a bonus to be able to speak w... | |
| How many Maggie owners have special stands? The Mye stands are one of the most significant upgrades I have done for my hifi system and no Magnepan speaker should be without them. The music has been improved across the spectrum and the speakers are far more stable. http://www.myesound.com/p... | |
| Dedicated power lines-getting started Belden tech support replied to my email and said they recommend their FPLP cable (83802, 83803, etc.) not be used for 110v power supply, from panel to receptacle. They said it is for "Control and Instrumentation" cables for Fire Alarm and Tray app... | |
| McCormack DNA amp options.... If the single stereo DNA.5 is satisfactory for sound level with your speakers, get all the SMc upgrades you can for the one amp except the mono conversion. Get a good power cord on it and enjoy. If it was the choice of getting two DNA.5 Rev A mono... | |
| Placette vs. Creek remote volume controllers? There are no active circuits in the signal path of the Placette Passive or Remote Volume Control, only in the Active linestage.There is a separate transformer for the remote control and LED lights on the RVC and Passive, and also source switching ... | |
| Placette vs. Creek remote volume controllers? The sound level from the Creek OBH-10 and Placette RVC should be about the same, since neither has any gain. They both act as attenuators of the signal from your source. I think you will appreciate the sound quality of the Placette as major improv... | |
| Dedicated power lines-getting started From NEC Article 760:"... The voltage rating shall not be marked on the cable. Voltage ratings marked on the cables may be misinterpreted to suggest that they can be used for Class 1, electric light and power applications. ..."Did you really read ... | |
| Dedicated power lines-getting started Subaruguru,The Belden 83802 is a FPLP rated cable, power-limited fire alarm plenum cable. FPLP cables are listed in NEC 760, National Electric Code:"Conductor and cables for power-limited fire alarm circuits shall be listed for the purpose and mee... | |
| Dedicated power lines-getting started I do not think the electrical codes in any state allow the use of stranded conductors in the wall from the panel to the receptacles. You should ask your electrician about residential codes before buying wire. | |
| What's under YOUR CD player? I have tried a number of isolation products including Vibrapods, sorbothane, Solid Tech 'Feet of Silence', bicycle innertubes, maple boards, MDF, Isobearings, brass cones, wood blocks, and Isolpads, which all had varying degrees of isolation and e... | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. The initial question or questions are somewhat ambiguous for me. Not because the question marks are missing, but you can take the first two sentences two ways. 1."What....is most important..." 2. "OR what has the biggest impact....""OR" can mean "... | |
| McCormack DNA-2 DLX balanced input impedance SMc changed the balanced and unbalanced inputs on my DNA-2 to Jensen transformers when I had it there for upgrading. I'm not sure what changes resulted for input impedance, but it eliminated the circuit boards and jumper switches. I'd be intereste... | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. Twl,your posts have caused a renewed interest in vinyl for me.Thanks for taking the time to share from your experience. Since I have only used digital front ends in my current system, I'm curious if anyone has done a similar comparison of highend ... | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. Twl, I thought the comparison was really thought provoking and convincing in many ways. My post was not intended to suggest you were trying to trick anyone. If you had used the same cartridge I would not question the choice of cables, phono sectio... |
