| Is Recording quality the real culprit? Conversely, a sub par recording can't kill great music. Well, it does for me. But that could be just me. | |
| Biwiring make any sense? @84xfirez-51 , I am not saying that is not correct, because I don’t know; and I am not saying it wouldn’t work, because if the runs of cable are identical pairs I see no reason it wouldn’t work; I am just saying that I was always under the impress... | |
| Speakers that disappear +1 @sounds_real_audio . | |
| Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets Gotcha, @jea48 . That definitely clears it up for me now. I did not know what an 'isolated ground' was before, and now I do. None of the duplexes I installed in the circuits I installed for my system are IGs, and on the existing circuits in my... | |
| Speakers that disappear No highs no lows, must be Bose. I am pretty sure that there are stand mounted speakers that do a better job at the disappearing act than Bose 901s. (And I had never heard Bose 901s referred to as "stand mounted" before, but who knows.) | |
| Biwiring make any sense? I had one cable on the +/- posts of the speaker and the other cable doing the same for the other post. I changed that so that one cable connected the + posts and the other cable connected the - posts. Hmmm . . . @84xfirez-51 , if I am interpret... | |
| Is Recording quality the real culprit? It may sound crappy, but it's still a good musical performance. Okay, but if you don't care what it sounds like, why spend the $ for good equipment? | |
| Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets Thank you, @devinplombier . I truly don't have a good understanding of the subject of home electrical and the isolated ground nomencalure confused me (which is not hard to do). Amm my circuits, including the dedicated circuits I installed for my... | |
| Is Recording quality the real culprit? Poor recording or mastering makes a good musical performance sound crappy. | |
| Biwiring make any sense? I had the cabling configured conventionally using two pair of cables. Only recently did I realize I had not properly configured the connections. When I did properly connect in bi-wire config,it really was another level. @84xfirez-51 , in what ... | |
| Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets What is an IG outlet? The safety equipment ground contact on the outlet is insulated, isolated, from the metal supporting back strap and the center 6/32 threaded metal hub of the outlet used to hold on the outlet wall cover plate. @jea48 Oops.... | |
| Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets @immatthewj I am not recommending using an IG (Isolated Ground) outlet to feed audio equipment in a dwelling unit, house. My recommendation for the old stock Hubbell IG5362 120V 20A slender/compact style duplex outlet for the reasons given in my ... | |
| Speaker Help Required I am glad I read the date prior to typing out a reply to the OP. | |
| Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets (FYI you will not wire the IG, Isolated Ground, outlet as an IG outlet to your existing branch circuit wiring. I assume your branch circuit wiring is three wire. Hot, neutral, and EGC). EGC, Equipment Grounding Conductor. @jea48 , sorry that du... | |
| Speakers that disappear I always listen in the dark; I guess that probably doesn't count? |
