| Power conditioner for amps If you intend to use the high current UO, it includes a power port. If you want an aftermarket PC on it, make sure it uses a 20A connector as the HC 20A version has that type of inlet on it. The Juice Bar has 3 Power Ports and you can use an after... | |

| Power conditioner for amps Tom,That was my response to your thread. The PS Audio Ultimate Outlets are readily available from a number of online retailers new, but, in an effort to support the sellers here at the 'GoN, there are always both high current and standard versions... | |
| It's No Fun Being a Guru Anymore I call it the "Audio/Video Interiors" syndrome. If you have perused that periodical of late, you will see some very nicely appointed dwellings crammed with expensive, out-of-site components with performance somewhere between mediocre and (fill in ... | |
| Large platform for power amp and more... Jdombrow is quite correct when he mentions resonance issues. A 6 ft long piece of maple could give you trouble. If you got yourself 3 rock maple butcher blocks of the size I am thinking of (23" x 19") you would have just under 6 ft of usable space... | |
| Power conditioner for amps Tom,If you have dedicateds run, try to have as many installed as you think you might need down the road. It's cheaper by a long shot to have them all done at once, rather than have the electrician come back because you need 1 or 2 more. If you hav... | |
| Large platform for power amp and more... Get yourself a couple of large rock maple butcher blocks (John Boos' Boos Blocks are the best IMHO), position them end-to-end and couple them to the surface using threaded Audiopoints cones. | |

| Universal Remote suggestions I've been using the Philips Pronto 2000/Docking station setup along with a Niles infrared repeater system in order to operate HT and satellite recievers located in an equipment closet. We can carry the handset from room to room and via the repeate... | |
| Power conditioner for amps Dedicated 20A circuits w/ whole house surge protection is a route to consider. That way, your amps drink from their own source, and surges and spikes (should they be a worry to you) can be dealt with at the service panel.Another possible solution ... | |

| I need a live great recording Dave,I have "Waltz" on both SACD and 180g vinyl. From a strictly 2 channel playback perspective, I feel the SACD does justice to the format. It's a damn sight more "analogish" on the SACD layer. I've compared both the Redbook layer upsampled and t... |
