| Yet another Grounding Question-Separate 'Earth' OK, here's the scoop: Richie, the electrician, completed the wiring of the new outlets to the room, as follows (BTW, I printed out this thread for him to read, and apart from a few questions about his competence, he explained to me why what he did... | |
| Insurance for audiophiles IN my experience, at least in the US, the best (not cheapest) insurer is Chubb. | |
| Differance between Avantgarde version 2 & 3 This might help: "Avantgarde's Series 3.0 Uno has made its appearance. According to Jim Smith, president of Avantgarde-USA, the changes are evolutionary, refining the design rather than changing it in any fundamental way. The tweeter and midrange ... | |
| Yet another Grounding Question-Separate 'Earth' OK, went back down and checked- no new 60 amp breaker that I can see in the main panel, to support the new subpanel. Is it possible that the subpanel is wired as if an 'extension' of the main panel, and that he fed it, and its array of 20amp break... | |
| Yet another Grounding Question-Separate 'Earth' OK, not to add to the confusion, but to answer the questions:We have 200 amp service, goes into a main panel with one big breaker, littered with all kinds of smaller 15 and 20 amp breakers (box is quite full), and an existing subpanel that appears... | |
| wave a magic wand and poof...the stereo disappears I've gone in and out of this hobby since the early 70's as the spirit, my available time, money and interest have moved me.I just returned to it a few months ago after a 10 year hiatus, and frankly, I didn't really 'miss' it during that time, sinc... | |
| Grand Prix Audio- Acrylic VS. Formula shelves I have both but have not done a meaningful compare. The carbon fibre certainly seems more rigid, but I'm not sure that's a complete answer since the system, as I understand it, depends on a certain amount of flexibility to accomplish its job. I kn... | |
| Yet another Grounding Question-Separate 'Earth' ps- house has 200 amp service, all upgraded about 5-6 years ago when the house was massively upgraded by the prior owner. | |
| Yet another Grounding Question-Separate 'Earth' I hadn't been down to the basement to look at his work- here's what we have right now: a Square D subpanel is feeding off the main panel, fed by a metal insulated cable that appears to be close to an inch in diameter. No further work has been done... | |
| Yet another Grounding Question-Separate 'Earth' Many thanks to all of you, and to Nsgarch, for the timely responses. Work will be done by the book, according to Code and to Hoyle. The balanced power idea is also intriguing. I will let you know how it goes and will scream if I have questions in ... | |
| What would you buy next? What is your room like? Have you investigated what some modest room treatment will do? The addition of some RealTraps, or equivalent, don't cost much, and make a noticeable difference in performance.Perhaps not as exciting as a new piece of equipm... | |
| Best monitor for female vocals? If you can live with their limitations, the old Quad (eg 57) is breathtaking. | |
| Avantgarde Duo set up. Yep, I was a little confused about the reverse polarity comment as well, since it sounds like, to invert polarity on the woof, you'd need to change both the mid and the tweets relative to the woof.One suggestion that Jim Smith makes, aside from ho... | |
| Stepping up to Air Line Arm? EBarker- I saw the pictures on the 6moons site of their visit to Definitive UK, and sent Definitive an email inquiring about the source of the wall rack, which looked like a simple affair. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I have a brick wall in the roo... | |
| Stepping up to Air Line Arm? OK, here's my compromise right now, with the concerns some of you expressed clearly in the forefront of my mind. The folks at finite elemente were kind enough to credit me what I paid for the Master Reference wall shelf toward the heavy duty (rate... |
