| advice on dedicated line What an education! Thanks, everyone. Even with pros and cons, I confess I am tempted by the simpler route of one 10 gauge 20 amp line with the Porter -port. Would it be workable for me to get 6 outlets instead if 4 in case I ever wanted to plug in... | |
| advice on dedicated line Thanks, Al! This makes more sense to me, and I am glad to have the advice of an electrical engineer. cheers, Margot | |
| advice on dedicated line Wonderful advice all, thank you. One follow up question on the issue of the ground wire. I read this on the Martin Logan site."The key to reducing hum and noise is to have the electrician wire only a single ground from the audio / home theater sys... | |
| advice on dedicated line Thanks, all. This is very helpful. My amp is 50wpc, so I am thinking 2 lines. Lowrider57 (or anyone else who cares to answer): would I get a separate surge protector for each outlet, and can you recommend a good, moderately priced one? Also any mo... | |
| speakers with Parasound? Thanks all for the fantastic leads for my quest for small- easy-to-drive-easy-toplace speakers. Much appreciated! | |
| ATC SCM-11 Thanks very much. I am new to hi fi, so please forgive a basic question, but what qualifies as a "muscle" amp? I have read that the Creek Evolution 50a is very well made and has more umph than you might expect for 50wpc, but somehow I doubt this c... | |
| speakers with Parasound? Thanks, I will look at all of these. If anyone has ideas too about easy to drive speakers that are really small (even among stand mounts) that would be great too. I think I read that smaller boxes tend to be harder to drive, although it looks like... | |
| speakers with Parasound? Hi all, thanks. A bit more info, then: the budget would be anywhere from 500 to 2000 (although I worry a bit about way outclassing the components with the speakers?) I can't change amp because of space restrictions. The speakers will be on stands,... | |
| macbook pro -ethernet or wifi? Okay, thanks! That simplifies things. Happy New Year... | |
| macbook pro -ethernet or wifi? Oh sorry. I was talking about how the laptop connects to my router. Maybe this is irrelevant?Thanks... | |
| help me "face the music"? Hi all-Just to make sure I understand...If I went the USB converter route, it would go like this:Macbook via usb cable to usb converter usb converter via coax cable to DAC DAC to amplifier.(Would this set up work well assuming my components were t... | |
| help me "face the music"? Hey, this is all really so helpful. Many thanks! | |
| ATC SCM-11 Hi Stonesfan,You mean ATCs won't work well with this amp, even in a small room?Thanks... | |
| replace in wall cables? or not? Thanks to all who posted in my cable quandary below. Several have pointed out that it is a mistake to run my cables through two sets of connections before my amp gets to my speakers (wall plate inside cabinet and wall plate on wall.)So I am now th... | |
| starting from scratch ...new system Thanks, Audiogoners, for all the amazing advice. I learn so much from this forum. For example, it didn't even occur to me that I would want a power strip! And thanks too to BCgator for taking the pressure off and for suggesting I will know I have ... |
