Urgent help: fuse breaker box for dedicated line?
I'll second the need for an electrician. Your 240v sub panel will provide 120v. Just use a 1 pole(slot) breaker. 240v would require a two pole breaker. Sounds to me as if your using a fuse box, in that case your hot leg off the fuse and your neutr... 
Real Stinkers
Vapor Trails by rush would be my vote. Has to be the poorest recording I've heard among bands that usually submit stellar recordings. 
Real Stinkers
Live Art is my absolute favorite cd....different strokes I suppose.

Jond,I'd disagree with Left of Cool and substitute Outbound. Left of Cool was the first disc without Howard and represents fundamentally a different band. Outbound had too many guests and lacked focus. The new double disc is going to be great thou... 
SACD Player w/Tube output & Bal out
Musical Fidelity also has this type of player. It is called the Trivista. 
anyone know who caught the baton in your opinion?
I would have to say Edgar Meyer, the double bassist composer. I feel he is at the forefront of incorporating traditional and comtempory music styles into the classical genre. He has fused the best elements of bluegrass in : short trip home, uncomm...

HDCD: What do you like?
Many good hdcd releases of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones with Warner Bros., they have recently switched to Columbia though and new releases aren't in hdcd format. 
Wynton Marsalis recommendations
I'm a big Branford fan and Requiem is a great disc. 
How do you get Good Sound from a PC ?
The best sound from a pc is not had via a soundcard at all. All the emi from within a computer is hardly the place for d/a conversion to occur. The best sound will be had from using any of a number of pro audio equipment via a usb or firewire (iee... 
SEAS Thor Speaker / NCMS Rhythm 9500 Unlimited
This speaker sounds nearly identical to the living voice avatar. Same configuration, same design concept. These are wonderful sounding, tonally accurate and well controlled. Responds very well to tubes. I have the avatar obx which is the same cabi...
