| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks @devinplombier , I just wanted to clarify that what the author was suggesting was beyond cutting out holes for duplexes and fishing romex down through them. I have no intention of "stepping down" 6 or 8 awg to 10. As it is, every dedicated circui... | |
| Balanced vs RCA preamps Just because you have balanced input and out puts does not mean the unit is full balanced! A very large part of the pre amp market is not fully balanced. Even though they have the connections. True, @68pete , but I bet that almost every manufac... | |
| Balanced vs RCA preamps The short answer to your question is, it is not a good idea to base your decision on which preamp to buy solely on the basis of balanced outputs. First of all, they do not exist for tube equipment, maybe there is a hybrid out there I am not awar... | |
| Balanced vs RCA preamps I think people who like balanced enjoy plugging in the cables more than RCA. They look really cool. @emergingsoul , ever since I was in preschool I have been fascinated by balanced circuits and the effect that they had on my audio gear; therefo... | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks It's not about believing. There are those who use objective facts, and those who use subjective opinions supported by any number of biases, realized or not. Those in the latter group fall for snake oil marketing tactics. Those in the former are t... | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks You should plug directly into the generating plant at your local electric company. Thank you for a straight forward informative non-sarcastic answer to a non-sarcastic question. | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks "Which will put me back up in the attic again, which is my least favorite place in this house..." It’s full of mannequin heads and creepy dolls, isn’t it... and let’s not touch that basement door either, the padlock is there for a reason ... | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks Sounds like you are going in the direction of dedicated circuits, but if you decide power conditioning would be helpful in the future, I recommend you splurge on the quality of the supply cable. @knownothing , I've had dedicated circuits since ... | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks One note, if you opt for 8 or 6 gauge and are forced to step down in the wall to 10 gauge to connect to your outlet, I believe code will require a junction box. It does, however it is more practical to terminate the large gauge wire at a small... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Something About Mary is a great comedy. Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz. And don't forget Matt Dillon! | |
| Movie/film suggestions. @mksun , I am not putting Electra Glide In Blue on my suggested list . . . it was just that some of your picks from that era made me think of it and at one time it had an impact on me. But Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid! Yeah! The fact that Bob ... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. @grislybutter , I thought Planes, Trains And Automobiles was hilarious! A great movie! However I am not ashamed to admit I have been a Steve Martin fan for a long time. And Steve Earle got some acclaim for his cover of Six Days On The Road. There ... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. @mksun , good deal--another vote for Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid! And Apocalypse Now! And Goodfellas too! And I’ll go along with Deliverance, I was never a fan of Burt Reynold’s movies before that though. I also like your pick of Drugstore Cowbo... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Ah, 'Legends of the Fall.' A feel good romp if there ever was one...! Well, @thecarpathian , I guess maybe, but didn't it take some suicide, murder, sickness, death, brutality of war, and betrayal to get there? | |
