| Dedicated power One more thing to keep in mind is something I've picked up on this forum as I too am installing dedicated lines (Thanks again Gs5556). The #/2 or #/3 represents how many hot leads are in the wire. A 12/2 for example in a standard Romex includes an... | |
| Harmonic Tech Pro AC-11 vs Acoustic Zen Tsunami I'm generally a HT fan (I/C's & Spkr cables) but after several attempts with theit AC-11 power cord it never synergized with any part of my audio chain, YMMV. I'm not familiar with AZ's Tsunami (although I just purchased a Matrix Ref 2 I/C I'm... | |
| Harmonic Technology VS Acoustic Zen cables Quick update: After a few hours listening with the AZ's into the Mid/Tweeter amp I wasn't convinced it was the right place for it. For some reason it moved the stage back a bit more and warmed things up a bit but it didn't quite gel with the rest ... | |
| Harmonic Technology VS Acoustic Zen cables I've been using HT exclusively for about 7 years now...Pro-Silway Mk2's from Dac to pre and pre to amp(s) along with the Pro-9 bi-wire speaker cables...I even have the HT silver wire exclusively inside my Sonic Frontiers Line 3(pre-amp)...I've bee... | |
| How to disperse avail. amperage? Whew!! I feel much better.... 50' shouldn't be a problem w/ the 4G. Thank you! Should I still minimize the use of A/C while listening I guess? I looked up those Lutron dimmers... they look great. They'll all be on a separate dedicated 15A line so ... | |
| How to disperse avail. amperage? Uh oh? The term "Voltage drop" can send shivers down my spine...Assuming this 4G wire couldn't possibly be returned, as it's already cut, it sounds like I can do at least 2 things to minimize the voltage drop: 1) "Pre-cool" the room w/ the A/C bef... | |
| How to disperse avail. amperage? Hi guys, Just an update. So far my electrician has scheduled me for the middle of next week. I made some purchases today after listening to more advice from everyone and my electrician as well. GS5556: as per your rec, and my electricians (you bot... | |
| upgrade from Sonic Frontiers Line 1 to 3 SE+ ? Yes, I've had a Line 3 SE for many years, it's phenomenal and IMHO a bargain for what it delivers. It does most everything extremely well: accuracy, soundstage, frequency extremes including a lucid midrange... it's also neutral almost to a fault s... | |
| How to disperse avail. amperage? Jea48 You have been a guiding beacon in all this. Due to the absurd costs of running 110' of wire through the soffit/underground route I have decided to bite the bullet and attempt the direct route under/beside the trees and under the patio... it'... | |
| How to disperse avail. amperage? Hello again, Jea48: OK, I'll tell my electrician that a 2 pole 70A breaker at the main box is good. When you say that the 2 hots and neutral on the main feed from the house should all be 2AWG copper and the ground should be #6AWG, for a total of 4... | |
| How to disperse avail. amperage? Thank you both for your replies, between my electrician's visit today (I picked his brain for well over an hour) and the info. I'm getting from both of you, I'm learning a lot more than I've ever been aware. The biggest lesson I now understand is ... | |
| Adcom GFP 750: why spend more? I'm with Usblues on that one...A VTL 5.5 vs any Adcom (unless the tubes in the VTL desperately need replacing) isn't a contest, the VTL makes music. Real, natural music. 'nough said. | |
| General Character of Harmonic Technology? I've been a big fan of HT Pro-Silway (I have MKII's) and the Pro-9 bi-wire speaker cables. The Pro-Silways are detailed, they are essentially neutral , they are not forward or laidback... I have found that neutral IS the word. With this in mind th... | |
| about to jump into the power cord foray Blindjim, that was eloquently stated and your patience factor for trying to explain this segment of our beloved hobby of ours to people locked into their narrow roads of "safe numbers" is very admirable but I'm not optimistic anyone will likely be... | |
| sweet, euphonic, reasonably powerful tube amp? You can guess my vote... my VTL MB-125's stayed in my system longer than any single component ever did for very good reason (about 7 years). The tetrode mode could kick butt all over the place and the triode mode ( mostly late night listening) was... |
