switching from isolated ground receptacle
They need to revise or clarify article 210 in the NEC in my opinion. 
Tweeters got me baffled.
I forgot to mention,I've seen them both ways.Some tweeters in,others tweeters out.It must depend on overall design,plus maybe what the makers think will work best.But they still don't know everybody's situation. 
Speakers to pair with krell that rock
If your worried about brightness,I would try to stay away from metal tweeters.I'd go for something with a soft dome tweeter.Even if the hard dome itself isn't bright,it sure willbring out more of those bright/hard offensive recordings flaws possib... 
Is an anti-static gun necessary?
If you live in the north with the heat is drying out your air,it seems to be worth the little extra time.In the south close to the ocean,it may not be so useful.If it does what it is supposed to,besides the little static sparks making noise,it sho...

If they are mirror imaged,try switching the left and right to see what happens in your listening room.

SED EL34's.Musical,liquidy.Don't get the ones that say Svetlana.The name changed to SED.$100-$120 quad.The 7199's don't make that much difference as long as they are good.You could get buy with a Sovtek 5ar4 if you don't have any Mullard's laying ...

Question on DACs...........
I'm not familiar with the Supernait,but if you can hook both up at the same time,(analog and digital outputs from the 840c)then you could A/B them easily.To be safe turn the volume downbefore switching between analog and digital inputs.Using an au... 
The Hub: Okay. It's all my fault.
The ad was funny.There are many ads on here that need improvement.Hopefully people will start posting better ads after all the talk.And the poor in taste language does not belong with the upper end people enjoying their upper end hobby. I definite... 
Tube matching: 30 hours vs 0
As long as the bias is ok.If it is not auto biasing,keep an eye on it(the bias).Once the new set breaks in there shouldn't be any difference between the pair if they were made the same.After break in,the 30 hour difference won't matter. 
Cable for subwoofers
No,the rattle may be caused by the sub being played louder than capable,or the voice-coil in the woofer may have broken loose.It could have been defective from the factory also.You could swap cables to verify just in case,but the cable theory does... 
"Human" speakers
Website is fine tonight.I had a pair of Epicure's under warranty,and it didn't work out.They sent me the wrong driver,(different part number) and was told it was the same.It looked the same but sure wasn't.The dealer I bought them from verified it... 
Best IC and Speaker Cable for DIY
Be care about Home Depot's.When everybody was saying what a great bargain it was,mine in the bedroom was turning green inside behind the dresser.Didn't find it until moving and cleaning.The visible part looked fine.Contamination inside I guess.It ...

Sub blowing Christmas lights?
Being he didn't complain about other things blowing around the house sounds to me that a poor neutral connection in the service opening intermittently somewhere causing a voltage problem could be ruled out.One rare exception would be if that outle...
