200-amp Breaker Panel Question
Jea48,Thanks. Actually, an audio equipment distributor is the one who told me to use the 30-amp breaker with the Wattgate or FIM recptacles that I have that my Lamm monos are plugged into. I assume then that there could be damage to my equipment i... 
200-amp Breaker Panel Question
Thanks everyone. The electrician worked 5 hours on Saturday and 12 hours on Sunday to get the panel in (my house is ALWAYS the house from "HELL" whenever anyone works on it so it didn't suprise me when it took him three times as long as he thought... 
200-amp Breaker Panel Question
Tweak1,I have also heard that and I was considering having a second "mains" panel (not a sub-panel) but certain logistical problems prevent me from doing so.Thanks. 
200-amp Breaker Panel Question
Hey Bob! How's your system these days. I will look into the AP cable, especially since they are very close to my home. I still have your phone number so I may give you a call if that's ok.Rodman, I actually have the Walker Extreme SST but have alw... 
Subwoofer reccomendations
PS - I did NOT mean to imply that the RELs are not good as I really enjoyed the Stentor IIIs - just that in MY system and for my musical tastes and prefences the JL Audio does what I want a bit better - faster transients and attack, more musical n... 
Subwoofer reccomendations
I hate to be a confusing thorn in your side and sound disagreeable, but I own an ACI Titan (very good low priced sub) in my second system and I have owned (and reviewed for Stereo Times) two REL Stentor 3s in my main system. I now have the JL Audi... 
Halcyonics under my tt. Wow
Lewm,I think Tbg is bemoaning the fact that these DON'T cost around $2k. From what I remember, these are around $8,000 for a typical size component. They certainly do look like they provide excellent isolation. As with any audio purchase, the pote... 
Best and Worst Rock Concert Moments
While I may be in the same decade, I have a best and worst from a lesser known band from a bit different genre - but this musician was like GOD to me!! As a young aspiring trumpet player, I went across the Windsor tunnel in the summer of 1974 to h... 
Phil Roy "The Great Longing"
PSRaks, check out his "Issue + Options" CD if you like this one - it TOO is a real keeper! 
Which Sub. Rel B-1 or Fathom F-113
Joeyboynj,Your post is not only fair but honest as well IMHO. You are fair enough to point out that the REL worked best in YOUR room and YOUR system. Like you, I have had both subs - I had BOTH the Rel Stentor IIIs (stereo pair) in my system AND n... 
Which Sub. Rel B-1 or Fathom F-113
Peter, I considered an upscale external crossover to roll off the signal into the Sarastros (and I know many would think that would be prefereable). However, when I got the Fathoms in and set them up (with the ARO done separately on each speaker),... 
Which Sub. Rel B-1 or Fathom F-113
Just my own opinion, but I have had stereo REL Stentor IIIs (a few years ago) and now have stereo Fathom F112s and I prefer the Fathoms by a fairly significant margin. The RELs are nice and I enjoyed them but the Fathoms exposed the RELs limitatio...

GREAT CD!! 
Aethetix IO Signature Question
Thanks for the input John. I know what you mean about re-tuning one's system after a component change. This is why I try not to be a "gear hound" and have had most pieces in my system for years. That said, I am still always amenable to increasing ... 
Aethetix IO Signature Question
It's funny yet typical that people have different experiences with the same piece of gear. I agree wholeheartedly with Jafox's tube discussion as his experience is the same as mine - I have 8 Telefunken 12AX7s and 4 Brimars in mine (and I bought t...
