| I'm not dreaming - these are great CD copies Interesting discussion, but what's a CD (grin)? Since moving to PC audio well over a decade ago and having over 100k tracks on a 10tb HD, I haven't listened to one of the little sliver disks in years.... In fact, most of my DVD's and Blu-Rays ar... | |
| Tube and SS pairs As with all things audio, generalizations are well.....generalizations. For example, I've found that my Soundlab electrostatic speakers are better controlled and produce deeper more controlled bass when using CAT or Atma-sphere tube amplification... | |

| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! Thanks Frank! You mentioned a Central Vac. among other neat things one can do when building a home. Indeed, we have installed one in each of our last 2 custom builds. And are doing a 3rd. one in this build. This time we're doing the Hide-A-Hose... | |
| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! I mentioned "ganged outlets" in the above post. I believe -- with "believe" in quotes -- I understand the term. If a dedicated line is involved, "ganged outlets" means several outlets (receptacles) connected to that one dedicated line. Have I k... | |

| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! jea48 (Jim) Not all low voltage cable installers are created equal.Did you ask the electrical contractor who he uses? A quote was obtained by whom our custom builder uses and I obtained one from a locally quite well reviewed (over 300 samples) i... | |
| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! Good unique suggestions terry9. They're accepted even before a contradiction. Was you experience a jaw dropping one when you first heard your system with "braided shielding for power lines"? Multi-function tweaks, what's not to like? Room res... | |

Well NOW, if you are BOTH s... | |
| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! Very timely and prudent questions. I was on the AVS Forum yesterday searching for what folks were doing to their dedicated H/T rooms. All I saw pertained to SOUNDPROOFING -- i.e., stemming the sound between floors and rooms; which I really don... | |
| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! Al, if you don't understand it, I'm not knowledgeable enough to speculate one way or the other. It would take about 3-minutes of typing to describe what I know about the electricity subject. Here goes: I can re-set a circuit breaker, screw-in a ... | |
