Kronos vs TW Acoustic
I see the Kronos as EXTREMELY precise, absolute perfect speed, a low low low self-noise piece of fine engineering; really the quietest table I've ever seen.  I also think it leans a bit to the detailed, analytical side (nothing wrong with that) bu...

What arm did the Thales repalce? 
Kronos vs TW Acoustic
Ebm, which phono are you using?  The Proteus is LOW output for sure!

You are correct; the greatest difference is heard when running these lines to AMPs, especially big wattage amps.   However, when I replaced my dedicated 12awg  line with the 6awg (in my previous room) for my 'front end' pre, phono, and DAC i got p...

Try it and then decide... it works!yes, you have to junction box the 8 0r 6 down to 10 to fit the receptacle.  I'm using the FuruTech GTX-D Gold. 
Kronos vs TW Acoustic
I agree, both are fantastic TT's; just different. My goal is to own both some day soon.What cartridges have you tried on the AC and/or Kronos?  What do you like?

Agreed.  I know MSB well (I own the MSB Analog DAC, which is awesome!).  Vince Galbo taught me the importance of the lower reistance theory  years ago and I rewired my old dedicated room with 6 AWG; it made a tremendous favorable difference.In my ...

I looked at balanced power; unfortunately it's just not in the budget.   
Furutech Outlets and Wire Gauge
Think I will just run 6 AWG from main panel, then drop to 10 AWG in a junction box to outlet.Have you tried the Furutect Outlet covers; very pricey!  Wonderng if they are worth the money.

So, think 8 AWG would fit? 
Which Speaker System ?
I received the Palladiums, P37F, last night.  I'm impressed!  Are they as good as my reference Magnepan 20.7's; no.  But they sound pretty darn good!  And they will work much better as an excellent home theater speaker.  I only bought two of the r... 
Which Speaker System ?
Makes sense 
Which Speaker System ?
Another question.  I am considering running 'phantom' mode for the center and elimininating the Center speaker.  Have you tried this?There are those that say if you have good left/rights and a good quality receiver with an excellent 'phantom' mode... 
Which Speaker System ?
Either 5.1 or 7.1, not sure yet.  I will have two subs.  I need a front end and amps that will work well with the Palladiums. 
Which Speaker System ?
Decision made; purchased the Klipsch Palladium P37 system.  Now, I need a really good pre/amp or receiver setup to match the Palladium's and get the best performance from those horns.  Does a really good tubed unit exist for home theater???
