Perfect Path Solutions Total Contact Mega Review
My own personal experience, although somewhat limited, is the the KT 150's generally kick the 120's ass, although everyone has a different palate. I pasted all the tube pins as well.  A big improvement for sure.

Audiozenology-If dedicated lines are used for the audio system, separate from the lighting electrical, will the dimmer still affect audio quality?  Leon

Hey Miller.  Thanks for sharing your experience with the TC.  I have also noted significant improvement with the TC and Mats, both new and old. I posted in another thread about setting up my electrical system and have ordered more paste.  Is it im...

Ok.  Drum roll please.  I met with the electricians yesterday and found them very receptive to the needs of an audiophile.  I reviewed the options discussed in this forum in detail.  All agreed that the best option was to run heavy gauge solid str... 
A method to more quickly extract the benefits from a Perfect Path Mat, Alpha Card or Gate
Congratulations to theaudiotweak for perhaps the greatest tweak of  a tweak!  A few questions please.  How long does it take to charge the mats?  Is the effect permanent or do we need to periodically recharge the mats?  Will mats charge best in a ...

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... 
More questions about dedicated lines
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...
