| Vinyl from Barnes & Noble In fairness, buying new should be new. Period. Is there no consumer protection against this? | |
| Dedicated 20 amp lines/should i use a sub panel Welcome to the perennial problem of dirty power. Turn off all dimmers and use only incandescent bulbs. Heating boilers, appliance motors, phone charging adapters etc all add noise. Note that your hearing is more sensitive late at night so music so... | |
| KEF Q950 or Harbeth 30.2 Maybe look at the Harbeth Super HL5 plus instead of the monitor. However some say Harbeths prefer beefy solid state amps. Whether they are worth springing for depends on how good your source is. You can buy a lot of music for the price difference.... | |
| Move your sub Oh Lordy, my bad. It is indeed Steve Guttenberg and not Mr. Dudley. A simple error rather than oncoming senility. | |
| Dedicated 20 amp lines/should i use a sub panel Thanks @almarg. Yeah, I'll try it with and without the safety ground and see what sounds better. Thanks for your vote of confidence in the amps' wiring! The Speakon black goes to the right speaker ground IIRC. Not sure I'll bother with the second ... | |

| Turntable upgrade recommendations, please. FWIW, there is an Agon member who reviewed your Denon. He replaced it with a Rega P2 and is happy with the upgrade. | |
| Dedicated 20 amp lines/should i use a sub panel Looks like I should expedite my plan to rewire the power cords on the power amps with new OFC cables including connecting the safety ground. I’ve been meaning to do it after changing the power cord on the preamp with very positive results. Thank you. | |
| Dedicated 20 amp lines/should i use a sub panel Jim,Thanks. Correct - that’s how I received it from the seller. Not sure if Stu R. originally did that or if it was the seller. As the REL is fine and grounded, the hum loop may be from the monos. I dunno. The Croft preamp has the safety ground in... | |
| Vintage automatic turntable recommendations? This might help. The Q Up.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kcuq1iL6aKo | |
| Dedicated 20 amp lines/should i use a sub panel Jim,8/2 with ground. You are correct about the legs. I also tried it on both legs. So instead of 22, 24, where I originally connected it, I had tried it on 23, 24 but it still hummed. In fact, as it’s a basement space, I just ran in a 12/2 on 15A ... | |
| 401 birch or slate? I went with slate. See my Virtual Systems entry for update. | |
| Dedicated 20 amp lines/should i use a sub panel Jim, Some replies below.By side by side, do you mean the breakers are installed directly across from one another? Connected to the same main bus breaker tie. (Both are fed from the same leg, Line.) Or, do you mean one is installed above the other,... | |
| good integrated amps that don't include a phono section or a DAC Look at the tube amps by Jolida et al. Many have input volume controls and selectors - sort of quasi preamps. | |
| good integrated amps that don't include a phono section or a DAC Croft Integrated. Tube preamp so you can roll to your heart's content and MOSFETs in the amp for that good-old control of a solid state. |
