Albertporter only needs 50
With respect to burn in, my experience is that it will happen and be complete somewhere around day 25-35 running your gear on it. No real experience with running vacuum cleaners, high power generators, etc! If you are replacing standard/stock rece... 
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
Abex: I can't honestly say whether there's a difference because I've never used the 47 Labs RCA's. But if you've been using any normal RCA terminated IC and they've been working, it may simply be, as Ken Lyon stated above, a compatability issue be... 
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
Abex: If you have enough of the 47 Labs cable, terminate them with Eichmann Bullet Plugs-you'll be out about $30 for the Eichmann RCA's, and the combination has been quite good for me. 
Am I being fair?
Ohlala: If you read Paul's post and take him at face value, how did he execute less than tactfully? He may have said in his response to the e-mails that the buyer was not the first to respond, but that he was local. By stating in the ad a preferen...

You were absolutely fair. Don't worry about it. 
Phono Section Break-In CD ??
Do a search for Granite Audio. Believe they have one; but if I'm not mistaken, it's for moving magnet input only. 
single disc sacd player for 300 used
David: I think the Sony you mentioned is available in Canada at Future Shop for $199 Canadaian (or about $135 U.S.) That being said, it might be worth a short (maybe a month or two) wait for the Philips DVD 963SA at $399 if you can stretch. 24/192... 
Upgraded AC outlets
P.S. Sorry, forgot this. Page 2 and 3 of the Leviton site show a couple of the hospital grades with gold colored mounting yokes as well. Actually, that whole file is kind of interesting.

Alexander and others: Check this out. Sorry about the pdf file on the Leviton page; it will take a little while to download. Look at page 4 of the Leviton site (specs on hosp. grade levitons)http://www.leviton.com/pdfs/ind%20receptacles/b-616%20in...

Clueless: I've never really done any male plug comparisons, but I have used the Hubbell 5266CCN with very good results. I cut off the molded plug on my turntable's power supply and re-terminated with this plug with excellent sonic results (cost of...

Dan from Dedicated Audio: I think we've been through this before. If I was a betting man, I'd bet a lot of money that the Wattgate is indeed a re-badged receptacle. Take a close look at the Wattgate info, then go to the Leviton site and take a clo... 
My Next Miles Davis Disc?
"Sketches" just doesn't do it for me either. Just to take you in a totally different (but still very interesting) Miles direction, I'd recommend Bitches Brew. I like the mid fifties to early 60's Miles stuff alot, but Bitches Brew is also a great ... 
Review: Foundation Research LC-2 AC filter
Stehno: A couple of questions. Where and how are you lifting or floating the grounds in your system? And would the LC-1 be sufficient for a 75W channel integrated; is there a guage difference between LC-1 and LC-2? Thanks

Which power receptacle to use?
Sonic Genius: I mean no disrespect, but properly treated cryoed Hubbell 8300's or 5362's, are, as I stated above, considerably better than their non-cryoed stock counterparts. I would agree with you that for $20 or so the stock Hubbell 8300 is a v...
