| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! Thanks Al and Jim. For the uninitiated and untrained, this whole house wiring area as it applies to audio (and video) is a black hole of information. So, while your comments are helping me, hopefully having them in one place like this, will do s... | |
| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! Jim said: I assume the house will not have a basement or crawl space. You said in a post the branch circuits will be installed above the ceiling joists/rafters/attic space area. The house does have a walk-out basement. In fact, that is where... | |

| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! And the cable is? It looks like Jim prefers what he linked to: Solid copper 10/2 with ground MC aluminum armor cable.https://www.homedepot.com/p/Southwire-10-2-x-125-ft-Solid-CU-MC-Metal-Clad-Armorlite-Cable-69117005/...Have I got it?

| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! Thanks Jim: To make sure I got it, the lower GVI of MC aluminum clad a negative and thus, supports Al's suggestion of using NM-B?I'm still confused at to whether we should use NM-B vs. XHHW vs. THHN. One of the differences of XHHW verses the oth... | |
| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! Consider a sub-panel, which will make any future changes and expansions a lot easier. Whether lighting, projection, who knows. Having a sub-panel makes changes easier. Also, I do not like to rely on WiFi for streaming. Mainly due to reliability... | |
| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! Re. Almarg: I should have been more explicit when I referred in the previous communication to "3-conductor Romex (e.g., 12-2 with ground)," and subsequently to "3-conductor Romex." My reference to three conductors included the ground conductor, s... | |
| Stacked Quad Questions I have no experience specifically with Quad stats, but do have many years with Soundlab's (and before that, Martin Logan's). Thus, with Ralph citing the positive history with his amps and Quads, I would at least give Atma-Sphere's OTL's an auditi... | |
| Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers My son and I went to RMAF in 2010 to do what others have recommended. It was a great experience and one that caused me to stick with panels vs cones and domes. While show conditions are generally less than optimal, one does have the opportunity ... | |

However, none better then what I experienced after returning home from being hospitalized for 2-weeks in 2010!!! Truly memorable and so glad music provides suc... | |
| Considering Bricasti and Lampizator I don't think you could go wrong with either. I heard the M1 at an audio store that utilized my speakers. It was very good. Thereafter, I bought a Big 7 and it is providing the best digital that I've ever had in my system. Unfortunately, I didn't ... | |
| Great Organists in Rock Oops, I missed seeing Ray Manzerek in the opening post.....so therefore please consider my above post as a ditto for Mr. Manzarek. BTW, The Doors Live at the Hollywood Bowl Blu-Ray, is wonderful both sonically and visually. It documents a historic... | |
| Great Organists in Rock How 'bout Ray Manzarek of The Doors? His keyboard supplanted the need for a bass guitar.... | |
| Lampizator question Different models (levels) different price points. What's not to understand? Why attribute a noun such as greed to the process. I know it may be difficult to believe, but one of the primary reasons entrepreneurs start a business is to make money. I... | |
| Nordost Tyr 2 Spkr Cables - Alternate for less $$ Almarg: Thanks for adding the technical reasons to this and so many other threads. You've touched on some of the many reasons why one cable may work better than another in the same system... |
