| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle Starting with a solid foundation is likely the best thing you can do. I wired a group of dedicated circuits into my listening room. Six dedicated circuits. The lines are all exactly the same length and all on the same leg of the breaker box. That ... | |
| Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound Personally if it sound quality based buy the best furutech receptacles and wire them into your circuit and if directly into them.

| High quality CDs @clearthinker then again I .ight be right I never received payment for my reviews as was a common practice around the audio rags. I never had to be validated by some anthers ideas. The 850 and 860 in my opinion were never as good as the press mad... | |

| High quality CDs Plus one for ma recording s they are phenomenal! I would also give the jvcd xrcd and xrcd 11 a really high recommendation. Yes they play in any red book CDs. Xrcd was about the process of recording the cd. Mfsl are ok better than most regular CDs ... | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? I always like these discussions it makes those people that own a kia think that is is better or at worse on par with a rolls Royce or a Bentley. Or if they fill it with premium gas it will run hard against a Ferrari. Thank you for the entertainmen... | |

I am talking rosewood purple heart. Etc woods that will sink in water not float. Many of the other items ... | |
| Move from Parasound A23 to A21/A21+ or Something Else? Look for a Canary ca160 and run it in triode try Ulta linear but you will likely prefer triode. At 100 watts triode and 140 ultra linear lots of tube power on tap. Or much more than you want to spend look for a Mark Levinson. Regards | |

| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? Well I am changing the system in my bedroom around to do exactly what you are saying. I bought a serviced Wadia CD 6.

| Power Cables and Wall Sockets Well first off were I love by electrical code a 15 amp circuit has to have a 14 gauge wire no more no less. You cannot by code have heavier wire on a 15 amp circuit. A 20 amp circuit requires a 12 gauge wire no more no less. Also the Hubbe... | |
| Burning in question A timer works great for a source to let play 24/7. As the other fellow said lampcord and a cheap used pair of speakers set that up at your away place turn the tuner on and walk away. Regards |
