Dedicated circuit's' ? or one dedicated circuit?
30 ampere outlets require very special 30A plugs. They're not common to see on typical audio equipment. I would use 20A circuits with 20A outlets; they are backward-compatible with 15A gear.As to whether you should wire multiple ones, just keep in... 
Best used floorstanding / full range around $1000
I think it depends on what's important to you in a speaker. As a gross generalization, all things being equal, monitors are going to give you better imaging, and floorstanders are going to provide better bass response. Is one of these more importa... 
Harmony Remote Control
Chad, I agree with you that real buttons are so much more usable than the touchscreen stuff. That's why I'm looking into the Universal MX-900.I'm not sure why companies think that touchpads or small buttons are what people want to press in a remot... 
Harmony Remote Control
I've had the 880 for well over 2 years now, and I'll relate some of my experiences:PROS: The website to program this thing is pure genius. It's very flexible and powerful, but at the same time intuitive and easy to use. The unit has proved to be r... 
.wav to .flac conversion using MAC OS X
WAV files do have some ability to store that information, although it is not standardized like FLAC. Often the program that ripped the WAV file will be able to read its own title, album its that it placed in the WAV. I'm not sure of options for th... 
iTune screwing up WAV file data?
Welcome to the frustration of using WAV files. This is why I no longer use WAV but rather other lossless formats (I personally use FLAC, but it's not well supported in iTunes). And it is why I cannot recommend the use of WAV. WAV does not have sta... 
Is a sub on a different circuit often a problem?
Twb2, if I understand you right, you're suggesting that I make myself a long extension cord? I can hard-wire a new outlet close to where the sub will sit with about 2 hours of work chiseling a space in the brick to place the box and then fishing t... 
DAC/DVD player or iMac/Sqeezebox?
From a strictly audio standpoint, it's tough to say because we'd need to know the quality of the analog audio outs on your DVD player to compare it to the Squeezebox. But I can say that the convenience factor involved in computer audio is worth qu... 
Squeezebox interfacing???
The Squeezebox is an excellent unit for streaming audio data from a computer to a stereo system.You have the process correct, except for the "SQ is ethernet connected to a fast external hard drive and pulls the files out of HD". (I believe there i... 
PC wav lossless vs MAC apple lossless
WAV and Apple Lossless basically play identially, but Apple Lossless (and any modern lossless format, such as FLAC) has 2 major advantages over WAV:1) Standardized tags (the comments embedded in the file that tell what the name of the song is, the... 
Receiver with preouts vs pre/pro
I guess I didn't word my initial question well.I have a good multichannel amplifier, and an older preamp/processor (Sherbourn PT-7000). In the next couple of months I plan to get a flat-panel HDTV and at least a good upconverting DVD player. My cu... 
Audiophile grade 6 guage wire for sub panel?
Forgive my asking, but is the wire to the subpanel really the best use of your money? (Shields up for the incoming flames.) How far is it going to be from your main panel to the subpanel? Through walls, or through an exposed basement? I take it th... 
usng personal computer for music?
If you're hearing Internet radio through your computer now, then you're likely hearing it through a soundcard and then to some typical powered computer speakers. To hook it to your stereo, look for preouts on the back of the soundcard to hook up t... 
PC connect to audiophyle system
Sar, I'm not sure I understand your question. You want to find a cable that has an ethernet jack on one end and an RCA on the other? That's won't happen, because it's vastly different signals that are transmitted by each of those types of connecti... 
PC connect to audiophyle system
I second the Squeezebox. It's a great little product.Yes, it does have (analog) RCA outputs. It also has optical and coax digital outputs for using your own DAC.Wired will always be more reliable/secure, etc, and 80 ft of cable should cost less th...
