| Dedicated line: 10 gauge solid core or 8 gauge stranded 10 gauge twisted wire is readily available at Home Depot and anywhere that sells electrical supplies.It's normally used for long runs underground.It will barely fit in an electrical outlet.It will be more than enough for your needs. | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? In my room which is practically square,a 2' x4' GIK panel on the ceiling has a positive effect.It works the same if it's placed on the floor opposite of it's ceiling position.Shelving and furniture seem to have a better effect breaking up sidewall... | |
| Has Radicalizing the Rig Led to Revolutionized Listening? The older I get,the more I enjoy simple electric and acoustic music.Pleasing,beautiful,nuanced,and heartfelt.Occasionally nothing will do except Aerosmith or something else exciting and powerful:-) | |

| Speaker advice for first hi-fi setup - Monitor Audio Gold vs. KEF R series! As phototon mentioned,remember you were listening to 'A System' when you were auditioning.Find out what components and cables were matched with the speakers you liked.Choose carefully! | |

| Passing of an Audiogon Member So very sorry for the loss of your friend.Kind thoughts to Ezra's family and friends. | |
| If a speaker stand is mass-loading, how much does it matter what they're made of? Monoprice stands are very well made and heavy,but they don't have a 20" size. Esty is a good site for browsing sturdy metal table legs.They can be custom made to whatever size you need,then you just need a board for the top.I've had some metal ite... | |

| Cerious technologies or audio envy I've used both.The Cerious is a great choice,neutral and clear.Audio Envy has a little more "meat on the bones" with the OCC copper and is also a great choice.You really can't go wrong with either one. | |

| No "Room Correction" Topic option. Why? Just a heads up if you change your mind about tile-make sure your floor is sturdy enough to handle the weight.No termite or water damage underneath hopefully. | |

| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial I haven't listened to Simon &Garfunkel for a very long time for this very reason.It sounds better on a car radio.I need to pull the boxed set out and give it another try I guess.I've been trying for years to get my favorite 60s and 70s recordi... | |
