Audiophile Fuses: Helpful or "Snake Oil"?
I can't use an SR fuse in my amp it has a breaker.

I was talking to some linemen, when a transformer blew on my street, they said it isn't uncommon for the transformers to be run at 200% capacity.

The us has the most extreme weather, from tornadoes to blizzards to hurricanes. But I will agree our infastructure is falling apart, while we keep giving billions to other countries. 
Holographic, 3D Solid State Amp under $6k
I don't get it, I've never heard of bad XLR connections on pass gear. You should have put a call in to pass to find out what's going on. As far as the gain goes, that is about perfect, you don't want to only use half of your volume control. The ga... 
New Audiophile going crazy
One of the amps that gets mentioned as a good match for the Polk SDA-2s is the OP's Adcom- I'd be interested in that. I'm currently running off a Yamaha AV RX-679. It advertises 100W/channel but it sounds muddy. I'm still looking, and the spigot s... 
Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required?
I think you might have to tear all your drywall out if you use this guy he hates drywall. He might be right, I have no experience with wood on walls instead of drywall.

I'm sure they make transformers that can withstand flooding, but will the power companies cough up the money for them?

It would seem like the transformers used would have to be somewhat sealed being that they are filled with oil.

Bob carver designed power supplies can be a bit different than most other stuff on the market, so Jea48 you might be onto something with that theory.

I don't believe too many manufacturers make a 240 volt sub or amplifier in the us.

All copper#2 wire. Thanks for the links jea48, the voltage drop could have been from the captive power cord.

I haven't checked street input connections, I had to install a new service about 28 years ago, because the ice on the roof took the mast down. I don't seem to have any problem with my hot tub or air conditioner. The breaker is only 2 years old.

The feeder line from the main service panel to the sub panel is 65' and it's 2awg. That same sunfire sub did the same thing in my friends system and the circuit was only 20' from the main panel.   2800 watts is quite a bit of power.

The lights are wired on a separate circuit, it was a 2800 watt sunfire subwoofer, playing telarc time warp. I've seen lights blink in too many different systems to believe it could just be dirty connections. It has to be voltage drop on the line.

It's not just clean connections, I've had lights blink on a 15 amp circuit with powerful bass, but when I plug an electric heater into that same circuit the lights are fine no change.
