| 11 Amps, 1 TV, 3 Components...1 Receptacle Help I would recommend hiring an electrician also, one who is experienced and knows your local codes. Wiring is not a hobby. I would also recommend a dedicated earth ground as ground loops are often caused by a difference in ground potential. | |
| Comparison of B&W's 685s and CDM or 805 Nautilus? I had some CDM 1NTs and really liked them, they were an excellent speaker for the money. They were so good that at the time I could not justify the cost of the 805s so I enjoyed them for 5 years. Upon looking for a replacement I auditioned the 705... | |

| What equipment do you most regret parting with?? Apt Holman preamp and Apt 1 amp, would have made a great second system. KEF RDM 2, one of my favorite speakers regardless of size or price.

| Low priced alternative to Benchmark Dac1 The Channel Islands Audio VDA 2 is a great DAC, in fact I think it sounds better than the Benchmark. It is a minimalist design but the build quality is exceptional and it has a fully discrete analog section and very mild digital filtering. It will... | |

| Uneven Temperature of 2-channel Parasound A23 Amp I don't know if you've had the cover off, but I picked up a B&K amp that was "running hot" on one side. There was nothing wrong with it at all, it was just not a Right/Left symetrical layout inside. The heat sinks and output transistors were a... | |
