| cleaning your spade connectors Since the writer didn't state the metallurgy of the connectors, I'd take all forgoing advice w/ a grain. Nobody advised to rinse well with purified water. Most commercial metal polishes - if you're lucky enough to use one that doesn't contain abra... | |
| rca to bnc adaptors- does it hurt the sound?? Chris S. at I2Digital would probably respectfully disagree. His stuff is terminated native BNC, w/ RCA's attached after that. | |
| van morrison's best sounding album? First Them album. His heart's in the right place, but I can't tolerate his voice at all anymore. | |
| First time for this, opinions please. Well, I managed to bump out the PC on the McCormack UDP-1 whilst powered (due to the crap, two prong IEC receptacle w/ next to zero grip) and nothing untoward resulted. | |
| First time for this, opinions please. If you provided the instruction manual, and the buyer read it, hopefully there was a warning in there that pulling the plug *may be a Bad Thing. I'd be really surprised if it actually caused damage. IME, this is more likely w/ equipment that has, ... | |
| Has anyone tried vibrapods with the Sony XA777ES Having had the Pods for years and years - and this is addressed by the manufacturer - is that they tend to flatten over time, and must be refreshed by baking in a warm oven.This experience has settled in my brain by the opinion that each day that ... | |
| mp3 vs CD W/ my limited exposure to MP3's - 3 @ 320k - I'd opine that they are the equivalent to the best of FM radio, w/o the heavy compression of FM radio.320's are very interesting, though the 10Mb file size is daunting. | |
| Freezer Cryoed Cables... Ellery 911 wins!I tried the tweak on some commercially purchased vegetables and orange juice. I taste tested them vs. fresh. I had a slight preference for the fresh stuff; not jaw-dropping, mind you, but it was a steal in this price range. | |
| Maximum length for Audience AU24 speaker cable Only to your wallet, 'specially if you bi-wire. Their prices have ramped upwards, and IMO, are in the Expensive Class. | |
| power interuption ANSI C84.1 specifies that at your meter connection, you should get between 114-126VAC and 228-252VAC across the 2 phases. I'm not aware of any duration or continuity of service spec.I'd (calmly) yell at your utility. Strongly request they put a re... | |
| Surge Protection for the House Good advice, and going from memory, the SMUD supplied strips come in 2 flavors; w/ phone jacks (RJ-something) and the other with F-connectors for coax cable. | |
| Surge Protection for the House If you don't do it, then you have waived SMUD from any potential liability for appliance damage due to surges in the future (by my reading of their Site.) It's an insurance policy in the form of a whole-house TVSS installed at the meter. This is s... | |
| Record cleaning machine advise, want to buy,"HELP" I'm considering the SOTA, actually. Currently using a NG 2.5 Fi but only in vac mode. Hearing protection required. | |
| Solid stylus cleaners: Extreme Phono vs. Onzow Zer Ditto 10-4 on the AT vibrator. AT fluid, LAST fluid, whatever. Artist camel hair brush for dusting, whatever, but not w/ a gun to my head will I sandpaper a stylus.Vibrating devices - such as the AT stylus cleaner - have produced excellent results... | |
| Material Specifications/Layout for AC line Um, 20A receptacle(s) on a 30A branch circuit is a violation. (1999 NEC 210-21(b)(1) & (3)). The device is unprotected; no diversity factor as on 20A, multiple receptacle circuits. You should change that 30A C.B. to a 20A, like yesterday.Re: "... |
