| Any new ideas on an old theme? I agree with those above that if you have a suspended floor, you may well benefit from some isolation between the speakers and the floor. I had that problem in a previous room in spades as the floor had a natural resonant frequency around 32hz. Af... | |
| 20amp cord The RPG is basically a 6 henry choke connected across the incoming power line. As such, the choke conducts very little current and that is why the choke wire only needs to be 18 guage. That also explains why this unit can have an effect on a circu... | |
| Audio Research REF 3 How did you come to your conclusion on how the clock works? I would have thought that while the time is only displayed to the nearest hour, the timer starts up exactly where it left off. I also moved up from the LS25MKII to the REF 3 and the diffe... | |
| Ideal room dimensions for great system sound? Actually, the Fibonacci Series was named after an Italian mathematician named Leonardo of Pisa (c. 1170 - c. 1250) also known as "Fibonacci". He used it as an example in one of his writings. Leonardo of PisaThe earliest trace of this is not to the... | |

In this series, each number is the sum of the previous two numbers starting with 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 etc. The ratio of each number to the pre... | |

| Dedicated circuit's' ? or one dedicated circuit? A 30 amp circuit is an overkill, as I doubt you will every draw anyware near that much current. The only reason to run a 30 amp circuit is to gain from the larger size wire. You can run that size wire with a 20 amp breaker and 20 amp outlets and g... | |
| What do you think of Vandersteen 5a's? If you are interested in a speaker that reproduces the signal as faithfully as possible, without collorations or emphasis, and has incredibly accurate harmonic rendering and complete transparancy, I believe the 5A is just about the best there is. ... | |
| Audiophile grade 6 guage wire for sub panel? The primary purpose of a subpanel is to dedicate circuits to the audio equipment on a line that is as independent as possible from the main panel and other home circuits. The wire to this subpanel is just an extension of the wire to the main panel... | |
| Anyone try decoupling speakers from the room? Pedrillo,My previous listening room was over a garage, so the floor was suspended. Spiking the speakers to the floor increased the energy coupling and made it easier to drive the floor into its reasonant frequency (bad). The solution was to put a ... | |
