| Were to get fuse box for dedicated line? Bob, as usual, you are a great source of info. As an aside, if someone is having trouble locating ceramics (I haven't really been able to track any down up here in Canada), I'd suggest using the plastic, re-settable "mini-breaker" type fuses. I am... | |
| Hubbell 8300 The 8300 is available in both isolated or regular ground configuration. | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 Not to be a killjoy, Jm88439, but a 20 amp hospital grade Hubbell is not going to be around $12, it's going to be closer to $20. On top of that, there is shipping both ways and the cost of handling, packing and boxing, as well as the cost of cryo.... | |
| groovin organ based soul & jazz Lots of good suggestions above-I own and would second the recommendations for Smith, McDuff, McGriff and Earland.Also worth investigating, although tilted a little bit more towards blues, is Bruce Katz. | |
| what really happened to j. skul I don't know whether he got fired or not, but he's working for Monster Cable. | |
| Where you plug it in My Gyrodec's performance is VASTLY increased by being plugged into an Inouye line conditioner, and Inouye actually marketed a unit (not even sure if that is what I own) for the Gyro before Michell came up with improved power supplies for the turnt... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3 24 What R My Ears Telling Me? This relates more to getting even better sound out of the Sony. Apparently not common knowledge, but by default, the Dynamic Range Control is set to actually give you compression-that setting should be changed to "Wide".Also by default "CD Direct"... | |
| Has anyone upgraded power cord connectors? Ernie: Look closely at the contacts. Both the Arrow Hart and Pass and Seymour use (even in their 15 amp rated receptacles) a contact that can be, and is used in their 20 amp receptacles, allowing either a 15 OR 20 amp male plug to be inserted. Fur... | |
| How to isolate aurios to reduce glare? I will second (or third) the above ideas relating to the replacement of the glass shelf. I experimented pretty extensively with 1/2" glass as shelf material and it is not bad (better, in my opinion than marble or granite), but it is pretty expensi... | |
| Has anyone upgraded power cord connectors? Ernie: I beg to differ with you on the receptacles being "remarkably identical". There are pretty substantial "build quality" differences between, say, the Arrow Hart (Cooper), Hubbell and Pass and Seymour and what I would say are major difference... | |
| PC for small IEC socket... The Harmonic Tech adapter is excellent. I've used one now for about 2 years. A very tight fit at both the player and standard iec end. Also quite capable of allowing the character of different cords to flow through (I've used 4 different power cor... | |
| Replacing/Upgrading AC Outlets The cryoed Hubbell 5262 that Virtual Dynamics is doing has every right to be an excellent receptacle, although I haven't heard one. It is simply a 15 amp version of the Hubbell 5362-the only difference is that the 5362 will accept a 20 amp plug. O... | |
| alternatives to spikes on wood floors? You could try Vibrapods, that's what I use between my floorstanders and a piece of laminated glass on carpet over hardwood, suspended floor. Sounds very good to me.http://www.soundstage.com/synergize/synergize011999.htmhttp://www.vibrapod.com/Revi... | |
| Phillips 962 & 963 No need to even wait. Just got an e-mail from Oade Brothers saying they're in stock. Unfortunately, I'm a bit tapped out right now. | |
| Phillips 962 & 963 They are not at all the same. I would wait for the 963; it should be far superior to the 962 in both video and audio performance. |
