| Digital Cables: Optical, Coax, BNC, or a simple RCA interconnect? @nonoise IME, studio engineers would make their own cables. And yes, every cable is measured to the inch. | |
| Different amplifier class for different music genres? @czarivey Nice to hear from you. | |
| Underwood Hifi / Underwood Wally... Totally reputable company. Walter is an authorised dealer for many products. Even though some of his blowout sales resemble "Crazy Eddie," Underwood Wally is a standup guy. He often buys closeout products and offers them at low prices, the only n... | |
| Help with first cable upgrade. It would be best if you purchased from dealers with a return policy or trial period. | |
| DeoxIT on cables/Jacks? @racked, Not recommended for tube sockets according to manufacturers. You don't want to leave any residue inside the socket. Also, when using on tube pins, wipe off all the gunk and make sure pins are dry before using. | |
| Complete Proprietary Systems Audio Note not only includes all the components, but the transformers, resistors, caps, PCB's and wire.Ok, a couple of those internals came from another country, but they have the Audio Note logo. | |
| New Bluesound Node – First Impressions @lalitk +1. Cables can be a major upgrade to the BS. Start with a Cullen C7 power cable, the sound will really open up. | |

If you have space on the main ... | |
| Mahler vs. Strauss I never warmed to Richard Strauss. Even though he stated that he could describe a teaspoon through music, I find it hard to listen to. Add to that fact that he was a deadbeat and anti-Semite, I would rather concentrate on other composers.Aren’t yo... | |
| How does the Equi=Core MK II version compare to the original 1200 or 1800 I own the original Equi=Core 1800 plus DeepCore 1800. I had a long talk with Walter about upgrading to the mk II. I can tell you that it's much larger than mine, I don't have room for it so I passed. It will fit into a standard rack.Some differenc... | |
| Front speaker placement, trying wider placement. My room is 12' x 16' and I started with the equilateral triangle positioning. It was almost perfect from the beginning. I only had to adjust toe-in, rake angle and move speakers a couple of inches away from wall.Then add some absorbion in the corn... | |
| Help selecting a power cord. Has anyone compared Pangea cords to some more expensive cords?I started with Pangea 14 gauge. It was beaten by Audience Powerchord, PS Audio, Furutech, Cullen, Signal, VH Audio. Cullen Crossover is a giant killer. Most of my system is now Cullen. | |
| Main vs. sub panel for dedicated lines @jea48 Sure, I'll check for you. Are the two rods connected together by a bare #6 solid copper wire?I don't recall seeing them connected. Can each rod individually be connected to ground in the main panel? | |
| Main vs. sub panel for dedicated lines @jea48 Hi Jim, the service I mentioned is the one where you kindly offered advice. Installation was from the drop to a new meter, then inside to a Square D 100A panel, 60A subpanel.This is a small Philly rowhome where outside the house is pavement... | |
| Main vs. sub panel for dedicated lines SQ has been debated, but keep the audio system together on the same leg (phase). |
