"Hi Frank, The magnetic breaker doesn't trip when the 50' 16/3 cord is used."Uhhhh, yeeeaaah.... I was just seeing if you were paying attention. LOL!Seems I get these A.D.D. attacks more frequently ever since upping my Cialis treatment from a PEZ ...

The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig?
Nothing for my “rig” in particular, but Apogee speakers, in general, have a tendency to solicit compliments for design aesthetics (though understandably not everybody's cup of tea). Pass amps, too, both early Aleph and later machined/brushed alumi...

08-18-12: Metro04 "I'd really like *him* to re-check the voltage from the outlet's LINE (smaller slot), to the GROUND pin and report the voltage. He's previously stated there's no stray voltage between the NEUTRAL and GROUND, so I'd like him to ch... 
Amp Shutting Down, need help
First off, Sailcappy, I (we) appreciate your patience and cooperation with all the requests from "The Brain Trust" (SCRUBS). Other than Jim's latest request(s) below, and based on what’s been tried and confirmed so far, I think we all will agree t...

Look! Every time I get close to addressing and finishing a few paragraphs in response, all you guys quickly sneak in answers and more questions! So, I'll just sit patiently in the corner with a "filthy bed-wetter" sign on and wait fer a bit. :-D N... 
Help needed to recover costs please
Dandy, is your PayPal account linked directly to a bank account, or via a credit card? If through a credit card, I'm not sure what (if any) time limit applies to "charge-backs", but I'd definitely look into it! ~

Al, thanks for stopping by.Early on, I've tried to get as much confirmation from the OP regarding his outlet wiring and grounding, and based on his two responses pertaining to his friend's testing/confirming, responded with an assumption that his ... 
Amp Shutting Down, need help
Cappy, I completely forgot about you mentioning the Cary still tripping when connected to your Syngergistic Research (line conditioner) back on 8/13, as Jea48 just recalled. So now I'm at a loss, and baffled further.Like Jea48, I was going to ask ... 
DAC/Headphone Amp For Sennheiser 650's
Hi Jedinite24, I've looked at Schiit's equipment numerous times over and over, read lots of reviews, really like the specs, cosmetics and pricing, but there's no posted specification for the various model's SN ratios, although, I've never contacte... 
Will outdoor antenna help if reception is max?
Concur with Ghostrider45's posting, but mostly because "multipath" reminded me of "multipass" from "The Fifth Element". :D 
Amp Shutting Down, need help
Cappy, at this juncture, based on all the info you've responded with, I'll have to agree with Slikric3000's recommendation for a "line conditioner" or filtering. It's obvious the 50 foot extension cord is providing just enough filtering of noise t... 
DIY high end speakers?
Thanks, S7horton, good stuff!Where've you been hiding for what seems like several years? 
DAC/Headphone Amp For Sennheiser 650's
Are there any sub-$1K tube HP amps that are dead quiet - lacking any stand-alone hiss/hum (no input cables inserted)? I, too, have 650's, and AKG 702's.Thanks in advance, 
Amp Shutting Down, need help
Hmmm, as you stated, it acts the same way from your 15 amp circuit as well as your dedicated 20 amp, yet works fine at Cary and your friends location(s) without the extension cord - when considering your friend's theory.Jea48: As you know, "inrush...
