Clearaudio Symphony
Indeed. No user input on this or any other forum.With that, and a familiarity with a few other Clearaudio cartrdiges, I 'bit the bullet' and purchased it. 
Tyler Decade D2s: review
JP1208. I should be taking ownership of a pair of D3M's w/ DS12 sub sometime soon (?). Similar room concern as yourself(my listening room is 35x 30x 12 ft high with a 30 x 12 ft extension off of one end). Listening area just off center of the main... 
Clearaudio Symphony
No users of this Clearaudio cartridge? Still nothing coming up to give me even a rough idea of the sound. 
best speaker wire for extra long runs
For my odd 25 foot situation, the Cable Co has recommended either bulk DH Labs Q10 or Vampire SPII (discontinued). They have never steered me wrong, albeit these are (or in the case of the VPI . . . were) the two larger gauge cables that they sold... 
Sound reflecting panel
No balance control.As simple as it sounds, I never thought of absorbing the reflections on the opposite side. Will pursue this.thanks 
Linn LP-12 still competitive with the very best?
I'd say yes as it relates to quality of sound (and without getting too verbose, an acknowledgment that tables simply produce a different type of sound), but at a price that isn't competitive.I have currently been considering this very thought. I h...

20 Amp Dedicated line: 10 gauge vs 12 gauge wire
By all means, I'd be interested in alternatives to Romex. 
Anyone here using vintage speakers?
Monitor Audio MA4's since the late 70's (can't remember exactly, maybe early 80's?). Although they will soon be replaced by Tyler Acoustic D3M's. 
What's your profession? Age?
A 52 year old environmental consultant and supervisor in the Western Canada upstream oilfield. Setup now with Plinius, Cyrus, Linn and (soon to be) Tyler. If part of your survey, about $15K current. 
Are contact treatments worth the money?
Use Deoxit process. Couldn't discern any audible difference over the few weeks following. But it did make sense to clean and protect the Cu connection at my spade. That was sense enough to me. 
Circuit Status
The cable is noted as "Trendex" . . "NMD-7"; manufactured by Canada Wire. The main breaker does indeed have a 40A breaker.Main panel is preferential to a sub regardless of the connection between main and sub?I'm not all that up on the particulars ... 
Circuit Status
There are other circuits off of the subpanel. The house was built pretty much on one level, but long ranch style, so the subpanel serves the central and west end of the residence. The circuits include lighting, electrical outlets, water boiler (ho...
