| How do I know if my systems any good? If you have to ask this question in the first place.... but really cost is not the determining factor(s). Synergy goes a long way. Indicators: Goose bumps, Chills, jump factor, wow factor, or what ever terminology turns your crank. Just have to... | |
| Stephen Stills Long time SS fan. Fortunate to have seen him perform live, on many occasions. One of the best": ~'73 San Francisco, Winterland, Solo w/ 1st half acoustic followed by the electric second half. Pure Stephen! | |
| user poll on seperates vs integrated Your query is not simple, and you have already received some fair advice for both approaches. The foundation to base your decision on your path will likely depend on whether you have found your "forever" loudspeakers. If so, then you can go eith... | |

| Outlets and Wire Gauge? - Please help! A significant and possibly not discussed/presented in this discussion thread is the relative amount of AC power draw from the AC mains line of the power amplifiers in use. As we all realize, the amplifiers each of us use are not created equal in ... | |
| Outlets and Wire Gauge? - Please help! invalid, invalid ..."A 20 amp circuit can handle a lot more than 20 amps for short durations of time, which is why 10awg wire works better especially for high powered amplifiers that can cause the voltage to drop considerably." I would agree... | |
| Outlets and Wire Gauge? - Please help! izjjzi, I am running all audio equipment on a regular 12awg/20 amp circuit with the following: 2 mono blocks with power output specs of 350W @ 8ohms/540W @ 4ohms. They each can swing 40 amps symmetrical & 52.6V RMS @8ohms. These are plugged ... | |
| Outlets and Wire Gauge? - Please help! cleeds, et al., Mia culpa, you certainly may run 10awg wire from a 20 amp breaker to a special 20 amp outlet that will accommodate that wire size. You will not gain any more amperage as the circuit breaker will only allow roughly 20 amps. If yo... | |
| Outlets and Wire Gauge? - Please help! This is just basic outlet wiring practices and how to follow electrical codes. A 15-amp circuit should be wired with 14 ga. only. Using larger ga. wire is a fools errand. In this situation, you can basically overload the circuit and not trip yo... | |
| going from tube preamp to solid state There are a multitude of really good SS & Tube preamplifiers. There are some really bad preamplifiers, too. Stick to the requirements that you need for connectivity and try to demo a few if you can. Happy listening & Best of Luck. | |
| Is Imaging Worth Chasing? Back to your original query...Yes, imaging is definitely worth chasing. When you have it, you will never want it to go away! | |
| Upgrade Cables or Just Upgrade Equipment & Live in Shame? jasonbourne52 is on point. Don't go drastic & do a swarm. Try adding just 1 more REL 5Ti Subwoofer and evaluate. Best of Luck | |
| Upgrade to McIntosh Just be aware of one of the most remorseful decisions involved in choosing your hi-fi gear: Purchasing a less expensive piece of gear instead of what you really wanted! Best of luck | |
| Best turntable under $4000 If it's $4K all in for a complete turntable/tonearm/cartridge you should consider: Poly Table Signature from George Merrill...PolyTable Signature (hifigem.com). George is Mr. Analog in my opinion and many others. Check out his web page the gea... | |
| Why so few devices with BNC's?? BNC is an acronym for British Nut Connector. It is most often encountered in measurement equipment and some older hi-fi gear from the likes of Dayton-Wright in Canada. With the well entrenched RCA Connector it is difficult to usurp. It is depen... |
