| Outlets and Wire Gauge? - Please help! invalid, invalid ..."A 20 amp circuit can handle a lot more than 20 amps for short durations of time, which is why 10awg wire works better especially for high powered amplifiers that can cause the voltage to drop considerably." I would agree... | |
| Outlets and Wire Gauge? - Please help! izjjzi, I am running all audio equipment on a regular 12awg/20 amp circuit with the following: 2 mono blocks with power output specs of 350W @ 8ohms/540W @ 4ohms. They each can swing 40 amps symmetrical & 52.6V RMS @8ohms. These are plugged ... | |
| Outlets and Wire Gauge? - Please help! cleeds, et al., Mia culpa, you certainly may run 10awg wire from a 20 amp breaker to a special 20 amp outlet that will accommodate that wire size. You will not gain any more amperage as the circuit breaker will only allow roughly 20 amps. If yo... | |
| Outlets and Wire Gauge? - Please help! This is just basic outlet wiring practices and how to follow electrical codes. A 15-amp circuit should be wired with 14 ga. only. Using larger ga. wire is a fools errand. In this situation, you can basically overload the circuit and not trip yo... | |
| going from tube preamp to solid state There are a multitude of really good SS & Tube preamplifiers. There are some really bad preamplifiers, too. Stick to the requirements that you need for connectivity and try to demo a few if you can. Happy listening & Best of Luck. | |
| Is Imaging Worth Chasing? Back to your original query...Yes, imaging is definitely worth chasing. When you have it, you will never want it to go away! | |
| Upgrade Cables or Just Upgrade Equipment & Live in Shame? jasonbourne52 is on point. Don't go drastic & do a swarm. Try adding just 1 more REL 5Ti Subwoofer and evaluate. Best of Luck | |
| Upgrade to McIntosh Just be aware of one of the most remorseful decisions involved in choosing your hi-fi gear: Purchasing a less expensive piece of gear instead of what you really wanted! Best of luck | |
| Best turntable under $4000 If it's $4K all in for a complete turntable/tonearm/cartridge you should consider: Poly Table Signature from George Merrill...PolyTable Signature (hifigem.com). George is Mr. Analog in my opinion and many others. Check out his web page the gea... | |
| Why so few devices with BNC's?? BNC is an acronym for British Nut Connector. It is most often encountered in measurement equipment and some older hi-fi gear from the likes of Dayton-Wright in Canada. With the well entrenched RCA Connector it is difficult to usurp. It is depen... | |
| Cables from amp to preamp or longer speaker cables… With few exceptions, it is better to use longer interconnects (RCA or balanced) and shorter loudspeaker cables. | |
| What are your top 3 favorite female singers? Difficult but: Nora Jones Linda Ronstadt Sara Brightman | |
| Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to +1 for sparksgja Perfect & succinct | |
| Advice? Less than $4k, solid state preamp, neutral to gentle I would look for a used Sutherland Engineering N1 Preamp. They don't come on the used market very often. I auditioned this against an Ayre and chose the N1. More versatile than the Ayre but strictly single-ended. Instrument grade quality and ch... | |
| New Sugden mono blocks have arrived. Awesome, enjoy! |
