| Power cord choice? I understand....I've read that while not sustained there are transient current peaks that occur during some musical passages that demand more current. | |
| Power cord choice? That makes a lot of sense. 15A inlets, esp with the female connectors having that notch in it, makes for a swiveling connection. I was advised, and will do it soon, to wrap the connection in Teflon tape to tighten the fit. That's one reason i went... | |
| Power cord choice? @rixthetrick You make a good observation about total wattage used. It was recommended to me to try to figure that out. Your Wattage needs are below mine for sure. I have 2 350W Rowland Model 12's, 2 other Rowland amps for surround, a 75W Classe... | |
| Power cord choice? The Puritan 156 was my 2nd choice. It is a very good unit. But I passed on it because it had (9000A) surge suppression chokes or the like and instead had an electrician install a Seimens FS140 with 140,000A protection at the breaker box. I would l... | |
| Power cord choice? @zyphryx If you are curious about a new power conditioner, take a look at PI Audio's UberBuss. Very reasonably priced and as good or better as much more expensive PWC's. Also, the power cable to the power conditioner is the most important PC in t... | |
| Power cord choice? Triode Wire Labs make great cables at reasonable prices. Maybe contact Pete and ask his opinion.Pete uses very good connectors and his wiring is very good as well. A CD player has a constant (low)current so you don't need a cable that can deal wit... | |
| When someone listens to your system for the first time. @baylinor I've looked all over to post my system but it seems like completing a Rubik's cube is easier than finding the link. | |
| Magnepan, Best midrange? JM Lab/Focal Mezzo Utopia's get my vote. | |
| WHAT SONG TOUCHES YOUR HEART THE MOST? Divinyls I Touch Myself | |
| Subwoofer Footing - Connect or Isolate? I just bought 4 Townshend Seismic pods for my 140 pound sub. I say vibration isolate your sub from the floor. Using the pods is a relatively inexpensive way to completely isolate your sub. | |
| Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? It's a valid question. I have had Straight Wire Crescendo speaker cables(and interconnects) since 2009 and they are very good. But I've been contemplating an upgrade.It took me a long while to sift through all the different speaker cables and thei... | |
| Power Dave Elledge's P.I. Audio UberBuss is not only the best power conditioner out there but it is extremely fairly priced. piaudiogroup dot comI also changed my outlet receptacles to Dave's Graphene treated, upgraded P&S Hubbel; 5362A UberPuerto r... | |
| Why has focal raised their prices so much on Sopra line See if you can find a clean pair of used JM Lab/Focal Mezzo Utopia's. You'll save a ton of dough and they sound just as good if not better than the Sopra 2's. | |
| Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? I think better speaker cables matter. Maybe not as much as your power cables do. I just bought Townshend F-1 Fractal speaker cables. Should get here in 2 weeks. Big upgrade from my Straight Wire Crescendo’s. I was thinking about upgrading my speak... | |
