| Which component has the most importance? Actually, the racking system is the most significant component, then proper line conditioning.-IMO | |
| You're probably listening too loud Although sound thresholds vary person to person and there are very real limitations for every human ear, the most significant factor for listening pleasures is and always will be the amount of distortions that induce sonic harm into the presentati... | |
| Power Conditioners Recommendations Learsfool, good point. There is always the used market.For example the Foundation Research LC-1 and LC-2 line conditioners are older models and still should compete with some of the very best line conditioners available today and used you can find... | |
| Power Conditioners Recommendations Learsfool, I made mention in my post above about the use of 'proper' line conditioning. If I ever post about line conditioners I always preface it with the word 'proper' because there probably is no other area within the industry where there are s... | |
| Power Conditioners Recommendations Dedicated lines do nothing to cleanse the dirty AC coming in from the street which is the biggest distortion pertaining to AC. Everybody has dirty AC (some worse than others) and it does not matter how close or far you are from a power station.Ded... | |
| Class D question............... Either the future is already here or it's later than it's ever been.There is at least one class D amp that is extremely neutral. Translation: extremely musical. Can't speak for any other class d amp.-IMO | |
| Tweaks when building a listening room? Prior to my listening room remodel, I contacted Cryo-Nebraska who in turn locally purchased 500' of 12 gauge and 14 gauge romex at their local Home Depot, double-cryo-treated it and shipped to me which was then installed for my 4 dedicated lines.A... | |

| 200-amp Breaker Panel Question Fmpnd, it sounds like you've got your ducks in a row. About the only things remaining to consider might be:o An industrial grade service panel (perhaps silver bus).o Cryo-treated dedicated lines (I had Cryo-Nebraska double-cryo 500 ft. of 10 gauge... | |
| Electrical supply home wiring project Since most line conditioners do not provide bi-directional filtering and since it looks like you will have two dedicated lines I would configure according to the following:o TV, cable box, etc. all on non-dedicated outlets and disconnect all inter... | |
| Power problems.... Ground, dedicated lines, ect Newer air-conditioning units typically draw less power than the older ones.It is not unusual for older homes built in the 1950s or earlier to only have 100 amp service panels rather than the common 200 amp service panels found in later homes.Eithe... | |
| Pure class A amplifiers = "slow" amplifiers? Dazzdax, there should be little or no correlation between what seems to be a slower tempo and the purity of the signal.You are correct that the cleaner the signal the more you want to crank it because it does not sound as loud as previously. That'... | |
