| solid state gear- leave on? Any amplifier that has a slow start circuit effectively removes the problem of large inrush current cycling. That is why the slow start circuits were developed.This eliminates the argument about turning the amp on and off and inrush current issue... | |
| Sellers Beware!!! I am having a real problem with these posts and the issue. No one here is selling top secret equipment, so what difference does it make who you sell to? As long as their payments clear before you ship the item, where is the problem?Paypal would ... | |

| Audio Research discontinuing lower lines components? I was referring to Audio Research when I abbreviated it as AR.shouldnt have been difficult at all to figure out which company I was referring to. | |
| Audio Research discontinuing lower lines components? I understand and respect the issues and feelings raised here. I do feel that there is way too much AR bashing going on here. Unless you work in AR's Accounting department, you have no idea what it costs to research, design and manufacturer equip... | |

| Dedicated Line Advise lowrider57; moving hot leads from one phase to another in the panel takes no time at all for an electrician.Adding a new box takes a little more work. But what you described is really not complicated. You could actually do this yourself if you ... | |
| Am I too cynical? I know we have said this many times before but, it really does pay to audition equipment in your own home first. Many people can't do that, so the next best thing are friends or auditioning in stores. Some still can't go that either. Buying wit... | |
| AC Line Problems you know, one test of getting old is typing a response post, actually reading it before posting, then posting it, only to discover spelling errors that you completely missed. Sigh! | |
