I need to be wowed
Hey Dudette, Any chance we could talk you into hanging a nice plasma screen TV on the wall? 
Marantz 2325 UK plug how to change to 110 volt?
You need to look inside the unit or take it somewhere. DO NOT CHANGE THE CORD WITHOUT RECONFIGURING THE POWER SUPPLY TRANSFORMER!!!Unless you own a fire extinguisher:~) 
An act of audio love
You need to find lighter things to tweak other than your speakers. How about your AMPS!!!:^) 
What can you do about a nonselling seller?
Wow, Both sides of the story on one thread. What a concept! I don't think I'd be selling a cable if I didn't want to sell it. In the future you may want to put your stuff up at auction. Sounds like you may have recieved a higher price from one of ...

Dedicated outlets vs Power Conditioner
Sean,I just put my fluke meter on the breakers last weekend after I finished running some dedicated circuits. Everytime I do it reads off the chart. I'm thinking of rigging a meter that would plug into one of my dedicated outlets to give me a cons... 
Dedicated outlets vs Power Conditioner
Bob gives some good advise. Get it all and use it all. I especially like the "whole house surge protection" as your first line of defense. If you plug your amps in direct this could be a lifesaver.I had the Power Company over to the house the othe... 
My first amp purchase
I would say buy an amp that is in the same realm as your speakers. When you say you want the best that is a pretty bold statement. Krell FPB mono blocks would set you back around 30K. See what I'm getting at? I think the real question is what is t... 
Isolation Sand Boxes
My guess is less vibration? DO I WIN!!! 
Anyone ever experiment w/ better circuit breakers?
I ran three dedicated circuits up to my bedroom yesterday. Same as before, three hots, three dedicated neutrals, one isolated ground and a dirty ground. I used Hubbell industrial grade I.G. receptacles.I plugged the amp into the first one, pre-amp... 
Any tricks to keep cats away from speaker grills?
I set two scratching posts in the livingroom right next to the speakers. One is a 6' kitty condominium. the other is a 3'job that is mostly rope wound around a round 4x4. The cat has been very good never to use the speaker grills. Knock on wood. 
ARC tubes
I just re-tubed my ARC LS-15 with tubes from Upscale. They seem like nice enough people. They charge a little less than the factory. Good luck 
Tweaks
Kelly, I trust you'll be planting Petunias in the spring :~) I agree with KP on the cows, I use four myself, they make great low frequency tube traps down to 20hz. Just place one in every corner of your room. Sean, you may want to run some soil te... 
Anyone ever experiment w/ better circuit breakers?
I installed three dedicated circuits a couple weeks ago for my H/T system. I used dedicated neutrals, isolated grounding and a dirty ground. Everything was run in conduit. Nothing-fancy just #12 THHN. I have upgraded all my power cords and have a ... 
Therapy: Mechanical & Audio
I've been bingeing hard on Laurence Juber this past month, which is really great acoustic guitar music to get your mind off anything and everything. Try his collection or LJ plays the Beatles for starters. Amazon has free shipping right now in cas...
