Bryston Bit 15
At 122-123VAC your voltage is perfect, and it will be essentially the same at the Bryston's output. 
Others experience re: subs and Magmepan 20
akg_ca There is a kind of snobbery that exists in the world of high-end audio ...  ... the crossover that comes with almost every subwoofer on the market will cause more damage to your signal than can be overcome by these benefits ... I don’... 
Quality of outlet not directly powering equipment important?
longplayerIf at all possible, install 30A dedicated lines for your audio system.Installing 30A lines creates quite a nuisance because to do it and also be compliant with code means you'll need to install 30A receptacles. That means you'll need to... 
I finally fixed my HUM! Halalulah, and thanks for tips
mribob ... After my electrician ensured that all the three dedicated lines where correctly installed with same phase, and added a dedicated ground rod to just these three circuits, there was around a 75% improvement in noise reduction, but i... 
Home Wiring Improvements For Better Quality Sound
Using dielectric grease on connections inside an electric service panel does not seem like a good idea to me at all. 
Kef LS50 - can it handle a subwoofer properly?

Audio Technica ART9 sounds awful
What tools/process did you use to align the phono cartridge? 
What ever happened to Krell ?
^^^^^^^ It's so sad when some lack the vocabulary to express themselves without resorting to profanity. 
Why are the Infinity IRS, Reference 1b, Beta ect speakers passive on the mids and highs?
partroysound I don't think adding another amp would be too much in cost or space ...Well then, why not give it a try and report back to us?  
Bob Burwen imparts his knowledge
It's Richard Burwen, not Bob. And no, I'm not going to ditch my vacuum tube electronics for high-feedback solid state units as he instructs.I've always held Burwen in high regard, but some of what he claims here is just mistaken. And if he has pro... 
Why are the Infinity IRS, Reference 1b, Beta ect speakers passive on the mids and highs?
I think it's a practical matter. How many amplifiers do you want to have in your system? While it makes practical sense to separate the bass frequencies from the rest of the speaker system - especially when the manufacturer has already committed t... 
A speaker that looks like a driver or a driver that looks like a speaker?
