| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks I am not going to put the silver paste on anything on my circuits, but the author writes that: No need to apply it to the busbar connection especially since these are always electrically live and fatally dangerous!! ? Is he referring to the n... | |
| Nuisance tripping of AFCI circuit breaker by inrush of current when turning on amplifiers Good to read, @toronto416 ! Time to rock out! (And since you have 12 gauge wire, if you want to, you can put in a 20A breaker.) | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks I hear ya; wear a dust mask. Ha! It’s interesting that you should mention it, @mclinnguy . When I ran Romex up there for the first set of dedicated circuits back in ’98 or so, I wouldn’t go up there without wearing a respirator. Since then ther... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. A couple that used to be my favorites: Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid Apocalypse Now | |
| MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers Anyway, @roxy54 , congratulations on the new speakers! | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks I wouldn’t, but it is your house (I hope?) After re-reading this thread if that is easiest then yes do it. I think alot of us who use power conditioners have it within 1-2m of the components, and then if you need a longer power cord to go from th... | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks In line with this thread though, I am confused why you need 3m power cords though- most people have the components close to the outlet or power conditioner and have longer interconnects to the amps, or longer speaker cables. @mclinnguy , to ans... | |
| What do you know and how do you like the RCA 5963 Black Plates? I wish I understood the appeal of tubes...but I really just don’t get it @livinon2wheels , I think it might be kind of like when I was in the Air Force almost 50 years ago, there were a bunch of us that liked big bore high reving Japanese 4 cyl... | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks @mclinnguy holy crap @chuck that must be one the longest posts I have ever seen- good stuff! I am not arguing with what’s in that post, but I think it’s a cut and paste from something I remember seeing somewhere else recently. The Absolute So... | |
| what is more popular silver or black face plates Its more important that the equipment work than look good. That would be my first consideration as well, followed by the price for which I could get what I wanted. Face plate color would be way down low on my list of priorities. But I honestl... | |
| bel canto dac3.7 power cable replacement? I don't know anything about that particular piece of gear, but I am about 99.9 % sure (I never say 100% about much of anything anymore) that as long as the connection on your Dac is not some weird shape, the female end of any audio power cable wil... | |
| Cary CD 306 SACD player vs newer Marantz SA 10 CD/SACD player That's interesting. I upgraded to the SA10 a few years ago (I've lost track) in fron of a modded Cary SLP90 and a Cary V12. A couple of years later (I've lost track of time on this also, which is a bad sign) I replaced the SLP 90 with a SLP05 w... | |
| MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers Reading the specs on those is what made me curious, @roxy54 ; however, although I thought I remembered that the nominal impedance is 6 ohms, as you just typed, I also saw that minimum impedance doesn't seem to drop real low, and I am starting to g... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. . . . Michael Clayton kept my attention, House Of Sand And Fog was good enough that I watched it a second time after a year or two, and American Pastoral was another that kept my attention. And speaking of Al Pacino (which I did last post), altho... | |
