Happy new year all!  Dentdog-Which Equi-Tech wall unit did you use and how many lines did you run from it?  Pretty good sounds like that commercial "it's ok".Leon

Jea and audiozen-I can't thank you enough for all the time and energy put into helping me.  I feel that I am on real solid ground and will be able to convey to the electrician the direction and details necessary.  BTW these two approaches were dis...

I think I'm getting somewhere here thanks to y'all.  Jim, the PowerPaper you referenced indicated that there were two sheathing options-aluminum or steel and the article further references the aluminum sheathed hospital grade cable.  Of these 3 op...

So if I am finally starting to understand, Audiozen, that by running a large gauge wire to a minipanel, all lines from the minipanel are on the same phase relative to the main box and main power and shorter multiple strands reduces the size of any...

Thanks Jim, that puts me at ease.  Any thoughts on whether metal or plastic recepticle boxes are best? It sounds like plastic may be a better sonic choice but at the risk of being less durable.Audiozen-the light went on and I understand now. Thank...

audiozenology- Are some lines on a different phase or line,leg? If not, how did you balance the minipanel, or is that only necessary on the main breaker?  This is a point of confusion for me.  If the lines are on different phases to balance the mi...

Firstly, thanks to everyone for their input.  I suspect this is one of those topics where there may be no perfect approach but the discussion of multiple paths may coalesce into a good solution for my system .Al, the Elgar sounds awesome-too bad i...

Thanks for your input, Bob.  I am leaning in your direction and hope Jim and Al will chime in as well.  I'm assuming since you will use the same set up that you're happy with the sonics and haven't had ground loop issues.  How many lines did you r... 
GREAT MUSIC - SO POORLY RECORDED...
I listen primarily to vinyl.  One point not emphasized is the need for a clean first pressing, ideally from the country the recording was done in. Subsequent pressings almost never sound as good.  As a general guide, I have found that reissues alm... 
Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G
@uberwalz.Yes.  I started with the blue, but learned the hard way what happens when I don't wear my glasses during needle drop and it falls off the side of the lp.  Ouch! So I needed a replacement and moved up to the purple heart at Larry's sugges... 
Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G
I have owned a spacedeck with spacearm for years and love it.  Another stellar cartridge to consider is the Kiseki line.  I upgraded from the blue to the purple heart and have been thrilled with it.  I also recently upgraded to the heavy platter w... 
Is the Last Record Preservative system a worthwhile investment?
According to the website, Last has been available since 1979 and I could find no negative reviews or comments posted on line after hours of searching.  All reports were similar in that the sonic signature was not degraded with use and albums treat... 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
uberwaltz, The pins in the IEC are good to paste.  If you have a tube amp pasting the pins on the tubes a third to half the way up also has a great effect.  It's not that hard and really worth it. After all pins are pasted, plug in and take out an... 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
Just had a very cool "P. Path" moment.  I've had and enjoyed the album Buckingham/Nicks for decades and feel I know it well.  Just listened to "Crystal" and I never knew Stevie was just to the right of Lindsey during the harmony part of the song. ...
