| Anyone use a 5687 with adapter in place of a 6922/6DJ8/7308/6N23P? Gary Dodd’s preamp? You might want to try and speak to someone, tech support if possible, before trying the 5687 tubes in the preamp. thinking the circuit controls how much voltage gets to the tubes, not the voltage of the power supply...essent... | |
| Anyone use a 5687 with adapter in place of a 6922/6DJ8/7308/6N23P? How many of 5687 tubes is used in the equipment. Just one? You could increase the AH rating of the battery. The 5687 draws over twice the heater amps as the 6922 tube. Did you read the part where it says the glass envelope of the 5687 runs hot... | |

| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle @lanx0003 said: And here is the spec. of Hubbell 8300. I scratch my head why there are so many folks recommend this particular receptable while its power-contacting material is primarily brass - 25-30% of thermal conductivity of copper. ... | |

| IEC 15 to IEC 15 PC? cleeds 6,298 posts 08-22-2025 at 08:27am blisshifi ... you will need to absolutely make sure it is wired right. 15A cables typically have their hot and neutral conductors twisted/flipped at one end of the connectors, or else... | |
| IEC 15 to IEC 15 PC? I assume the power cord you need has a 15 amp male prong IEC connector on one end (plugs into supply power unit) and and a 15 amp female IEC connector that connects to a piece of audio equipment. Would this adapter work for use of a regular 15 am... | |
| What wire to use instead of Romex @roccity said: Great idea to use a single pole tandem breaker. Placing it in the top panel also saves me a couple of feet of run. I would also recommend moving the 1 pole 15 amp breaker over to the space on the left next to the 2 pole 100 amp ... | |
| What wire to use instead of Romex @roccity said: I had an electrician come out the other day who said that the two side-by-side spots in my bottom panel would be on the same phase but couldn’t explain to me how he knew that, so that didn’t inspire confidence. They are not on ... | |
| Shielded Speaker Wire 12AWG From my limited listening experience, other than coax cables used from a TT to a phono preamp, shielded cables can suck the air, the life, out of the sound of the music. That’s even been my experience with shielded power cords. There are other wa... | |
| Shielded Speaker Wire 12AWG Have you researched using shielded speaker cables? Here’s one guys opinion on shielded speaker cables. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=961LaW8xVd4 | |
| What wire to use instead of Romex @roccity said: Yes. It’s a short, straight run from the outlet down to the garage - just as it appears in the illustration I created above. Best and cheapest way is to have the electrician install 10-2 solid copper MC cable. You will save on ... | |
| What wire to use instead of Romex @1971gto455ho 2011 NEC 210.7 was added to NEC. FWIW, in the US if you wired the duplex outlets as you have them wired before the 2011 NEC was adopted by the state, or AHJ governing body for the county or city you live in, they would be grandfat... | |
| What wire to use instead of Romex @1971gto455ho Said: Best Practices: It’s recommended to use separate, appropriately sized 20 amp circuits with their own breakers and wiring to feed each half of the duplex receptacle. This ensures proper protection and avoids potential hazards... | |
| What wire to use instead of Romex @roccity said: As far as aesthetics, I could live with a short run (about 12") coming straight up from the floor to the bottom of a surface-mounted outlet box. Is that the extent of the new branch circuit wiring there will be in the Condo? Ab... |
