How should I go about adding a dedicated ground?
Sorry about the links not being "clickable", so you'll have to cut and paste. I tried to correct the links that i had originally posted but for some reason, Agon has it set up that when you do a revision of your post, any additional web addresses ... 
How should I go about adding a dedicated ground?
I've discussed how to have what is a dedicated ground while maintaining safety and meeting code. Try taking a look at these threads and if you've got more questions, fire away. These should cover most of what you want to know though. Don't be shy ... 
La Scala vs Klipschorn
Are there people out there that actually "peel" grapes before eating them ? I thought that this was just a saying and not some part of reality.... Sean> 
Mat Material...............
I think that what mat works best will vary from table to table and installation to installation. This has to do with the various damping characteristics of the tables suspension, the quality of the bearing / noise transmitted from the drive assemb... 
200 Watt versus 300 to 400 Watt Amplifier Comps
It would depend on the type of music that you are listening to, the size of your room, how far your listening position is from the speakers, what the given spl is that you are using as a reference, etc... Having said that, so long as the quality r... 
Electrical Question
Lightning can come in through the hot, neutral or ground lines of your AC. As such, pulling the breaker open will not negate your potential for lightning damage. Unplugging from the walls will. This is not to say that you would be covered 100% tho... 
Old Dynaco Speakers?
If i remember correctly, the old Dyna speakers used Seas woofers in an aperiodic ( vario-vent ) cabinet and were pretty good sounding for what they were. I can't remember what kind of tweeters they used though.Quite honestly, thanks for posting wh... 
Large volume adjustments on Jolida amp
Contact Jolida and see if you can adjust the gain of the system somehow. While you can pad the input by using in-line attenuators, lowering the gain of the system would be a better choice ( if possible ). Sean> 
Jump on this please..........
Looking at the connection as you would from behind the speaker, i would start off by backing the locking nut on the binding post out. I would then install the speaker cables from the amp with the spades going as close to the speaker cabinet as pos... 
how to eliminate air-born RF
I corresponded with Mooncrikit briefly and from what i can gather, Edisilva seems to be on the right track. It is almost as if there is an external source for the vibration / hum. Only problem is, Mooncrikit has experienced this when the AC mains ... 
Ohm Walsh speakers; Anyone have any experience
For a short time, you'll probably be able to see the inside of a set of Walsh 5's as they have a pair partially pulled apart on Ebay. I will only say that these look a LOT neater and better put together than the set of Walsh series that i previous... 
Building a Subwoofer
Trelja: I've owned 2600's before and don't think it's too bad of an amp either. They do work quite well with Klipsch speakers from my experience. While it might work out reasonably for a sub amp, i don't know where you are going to find one for an... 
360 degree radial speakers and imaging...
Rny, Rcprince and Thorman hit it all on the head. Just don't expect "realism" without a lot of horsepower. Sean> 
how to eliminate air-born RF
Help me to understand something here. You have everything disconnected from component to component and no AC applied to any component and you still have a hum coming from behind your component rack ? Sean> 
Is vinyl dead ?
I've got one question for you folks since we're on the subject. I've recently seen some 45 rpm adapters for a Linn for sale. Why would anyone pay $79 for a used adapter when you can get those little white or plastic 45 rpm adapters brand new for a...
