| thoghts about isolation. I'm laughing so hard at myself right now that I thought others could enjoy a good chuckle too. I've been so focused on researching isolated circuit power delivery that I interpreted Theaudiotweak's comments as transferring spurious energy to "elec... | |
| thoghts about isolation. Theaudiotweak, I'm not as conversant about tweaks as I'd like to be. I'm also not sure what keywords to use to do a search on your suggestions. Could you give a few examples of the devices that take spurious noise in various audio devices (e.g., p... | |
| dedicated lines. what goes where? Piezo -- you'll get a lot of agreement about that. In one of the threads, Albert Porter (and others) talk about a "preferential ground" which ties the outlets first to a new ground rod and then to the whole-house ground (if I read this right). Tha... | |
| dedicated lines. what goes where? I'm doing some research on this topic and would like to recommend the following previous posts:The Big Four (in no order):1) Advice on installing dedicated outlets Jazz_nut 9-17-012) Dedicated curcuit question???? Krelldog 2-24-023) How many dedic... | |
| Best tube pre-amp with remote vol. control Albert, I may not be getting it right away, but do you have any more news on the preamp? | |
| OZZIE RULES What a perfect way to celebrate the success of the music forum! Ozzie is awesome! His music is great (generally); his TV show isn't. I guess that means he's human like the rest of us. | |
| Law of Diminishing Returns; where does it kick in? Many have rightly pointed out that diminishing returns can occur for different people at different levels of time or money. It also appears that, short of $250,000 retail, incremental sound quality improvements do continue. For me, returns on inve... | |
| Need Help Designing a Dream Room Once again, thanks for all the great advice. My house is now being framed and the job is being supervised by the man who built Billy Graham’s recording studio. First off, I did have to compromise to make this both a listening room and a living roo... | |
| dedicated lines. what goes where? How will the MIT power conditioner be used? | |
| Horrific Confession And Puzzling Questions When I am showing my system to someone new, I tend to play a lot of different CD's (listen to this bass! listen to where the instruments are in this recording! do you like these guys?) -- and yes, it does get messy. Alone, I tend to listen to enti... | |
| Who R U? Twl -- wow! What a great story!! Have you thought of writing an auto (no pun intended) biography? If it becomes a movie and Brad Pitt does the lead, it could really give the audiophile hobby a boost! Just the house building part has me in awe. My ... | |
| Subject: Q. on room size and what speakers to use If you like the sound of the Vandy's now, why switch? If the acoustics aren't quite right, a different speaker won't necessarily help -- but Wlutke's suggestions might. Are there any issues with the sound now? What is the ceiling height? (I've got... | |
| What is the most decadent, most self indulgent-- Occasionally, I guess we all "think with our ears". Thanks for the feedback David. KP, what a great idea. Too bad the jets in a hot tub would be too loud! | |
| What is the most decadent, most self indulgent-- Equipment, shiquipment! At this point, I am wondering about my sanity since I'm building a house around a listening room. Was there an existing house that met all our non-audio needs? Would that have been a lot more cost-effective? Do I have a wif... | |
| MIT & Spectral -- but Which MIT? I would second the suggestion to "Go with Joe" (Abrams). He is excellent to deal with and was very willing to work with me about trying different options in my previous Bryston/Thiel setup. I tried three different paths before settling on the righ... |
