Dedicated Circuits/Isolated Grounds
Jaffeassc,That was a great question. First off, any good electrician will laugh you off the face of the earth if you suggest using anything greater than 12ga. The use of such heavy gauge wire for audio goes against everything they have learned. He... 
Isoclean Fuse
Might I suggest using silver contact paste like Walker SST rather than wasting you money on the slower and inferior gold. The fuse is not unique here, only the gold plating...Also keep in mind how many fuses you may have to protect you circuits. M... 
Dedicated Circuits/Isolated Grounds
Jaffeassc, your description of what you intend to do is the correct "common" grounding process. What others are talking about here is a totally separate grounding system separate of the main panel. If this is done incorrectly you can end up creati... 
CD player vibration control ..................
As a complete tweak freak, I have tried most everything I know of. Today I use titanium cones on Aurios pros. These sit on Neuance shelf that is suspended on bubble wrap that then sits on an aluminum shelf. This then sits on a series of Mana racks... 
How can I improve my Sony SCD-777ES for red book
Hi Anthuan, Yes in effect. The two motors and two lasers are prone to dying at this age. I spent quite a bit of time discussing this with Richard Kern, and that is becoming a larger part of his business with these units. He is actually now running... 
How can I improve my Sony SCD-777ES for red book
I have modified my SCD-1 twice and now have all the available mod's from Audiomod (Richard Kern) I generally feel this is far and away the best money spent in that so much of the SCD-1/777ES is beyond anything a similar dollar would buy. In your c...

The flaw in your remarks Tvad is believing any industry moves that fast. The development of HDTV was appropriated by the legislature in the early '80's after not supporting the development of the semiconductor and losing countless dollars to Japan...

And to your surprise, that is exactly my point too. Somehow you and I have not clicked on this thread, I guess we just see a different ending.I again want to thank you for the civility of this discussion. This is without question the most fun I ha... 
The last 5 ?????
Cdc, I agree we indeed are more alike than different. I understand your 100%/50% comment and I fully understand we can learn to enjoy any level of audio we have. That is not of dispute.

This explains my entire point. Small labels, XRCD and other high quality sources are not bulk produced. That's the who;e point.Oh well, we clearly are on different wave lengths, but I commend you for not getting frustrated.

Tvad, good points all. I have nothing left to discuss other than the topic of this thread. The only dispute I have is a clone is not a clone. Digital reproduction is completely reliant on clocking, and the fact that clocking is not a perfect scien...
