More questions about dedicated lines 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 ... | |
More questions about dedicated lines Hey Pinthrift. I have purchased, but not yet installed SR Blue outlets. I'm not decided yet on cover plates, but likely will choose a plastic cover plate and paste the inside with PPT total contact.Thanks for sharing your experience!! | |
More questions about dedicated lines 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 | |
More questions about dedicated lines 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... | |
More questions about dedicated lines Volumizer-I couldn't get the link to connect. Is it correct? | |
More questions about dedicated lines 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... | |
More questions about dedicated lines 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... | |
More questions about dedicated lines 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... | |
More questions about dedicated lines 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... | |
More questions about dedicated lines 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... |
