Investigating if ultrasound is harming LPs
Wow.  I am wildly profoundly perplexed.    
Hum in Speakers with New Dedicated 20 amp Circuit
Just checking the situation. Pictured is your new breaker is on the bottom right.  Outputs to a separate box with a new outlet in your room.  You did your switching inside the house between the old and new outlets without touching inside the brea... 
Never heard an amp do this before, ideas?
Take the amps to your local stereo shop to check out some speakers with it.  Gives you a reason to go listen to some speakers.  Maybe even to work with a pair of headphones.  Eliminate the environment. You would not be using expensive speaker cab... 
OMG - Room Acoustics are Critical - WAF be dam-ed!.
I had a good divorce. She got rid of my butt and I kept my stereo. I don’t see why you can’t move the lamp when you listen. BESURE to move it back. Don’t wanna be poking at the dragon. Speaking of poking the dragon,,,, @knotscott Guess its beca... 
Putting a new end on a XLR cable
Buy new XLRs. Cut and resolder. Being sortah a compulsive excessive, I would do All of them. And being so, I would also peek into the XLR holes on the amp and preamp to match gold to gold, silver to silver pins. Dissimilar metal contact thing. O... 
Learned something new today and it isn't good.
I have not played a CD disk that I would have suspected Not having such de-emphasis.  Like I hear playing a record without RIAA de-emphasis.  Or Dolby encoded tapes.  It's not broken.  You don't have to deal with it.  
Do You Play Or Save Your Best Cartridges
Vinyl is only for my serious listening.  For Background music I have FM, CD's and IPOD on another system. I don't worry about my cartridge or stylus.  I can purchase those anytime. Probably a one better too.   I would hate to have to replace some... 
Power cord length
Isn't the AC power going to be converted to DC in the amplifiers? Oooh... I get it now.  Timed Aligned Direct Current.  Ah, now it all makes sense.  
50 years of Hip Hop- How Come?
68 y.o, here. 50 years of Hip Hop?  A dance groove?  Never heard of it.  Nor would I attempt with my bad knees and hips.  
New sound immersion processes
Neither. Turn on my Symphonic cd, tape, radio all in one unit. Two simulated wood speakers. It’s actually cardboard. But 2 way!! Turn off the lights, hit play, recline my chair and enjoy. But I should really upgrade the power cable. I would pos... 
It was 61 years ago today...
Ed Sulivan, Lawrence Welk and Arthur Fiedler Boston Pops concerts.  On Black and White TV!  On the more serious side.  Adams Family, Munsters, Dobie Gillis, Hogan's Heros, Gilligan's Island... And the great Warner Brothers and Hanna Barbera Saturd... 
A public service announcement
"You have a turntable?" I would think Jdougs has 3 of them.  Good ones to warrant those cartridges.    
can you please help me around how to use my first tube amp?
Probably too late now.  The first thing I would do is to Open It Up.  Check for over heated resistors, leaking capacitors, burnt wires, dead roaches...  And while you are in there change the output ohms tap.  10 years.  Might start thinking of rec... 
New Cartridge
I have not heard the ZYX100. I think, I wish I was someone who can let loose with $2200 on an impulse purchase.  
Wilson to Tekton to ????
As long as the Moabs meets WAF, screw what they look like. It’s all about the Sound. Your listening experience. Life of an Audiophile is/are, Sacrifices. I think you will get used to them. Even if they were Avantgardes! (My personal opinion) It’s ...
