| 15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit I'd personally have run 3 dedicated lines in my new listening room, 2 for amps and 1 for signal components; but I am NOT an electrician.....and will only be running one amp at a time. As others have mentioned, used audiophile receptacles. There a... | |

| Gold coated brass speaker spades Yes both the Furutech GTX-D (both gold and rhodium plated) are UL rated, as is my second favorite Oyaide R-1. I own both, and just double checked them | |
| FirstWatt SIT-3 or Pass Labs XA25 for Avalon Indras? ulul I've never heard any First Watt amplifier, so I'm no help there. I bought a "lower" power solid state amplifier earlier this year (a CODA S5.5), if you can find a dealer near you to demo one, I think it would be worth your while. 50WPC pur... | |
| Gold coated brass speaker spades I personally would not use copper plated brass, there are too many good cables available from too many companies to do otherwise. Gold plated copper, gold plated over silver over copper......or if you like rhodium (which I do not) | |
| Best standmounts with a 7" woofer/driver Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphenes, only bookshelves I think would be a noticeable upgrade.....but the Alta Alyssas should be listened to if you have the opportunity | |
| HiFi satisfaction and/ or Musical enjoyment xp200dr Congratulations on finding your sweet spot. I'm still on the upgrade path for now, I still have a few things I want to upgrade: DAC, streamer, some cables, and a properly treated listening room. I hope that when I get there (and I think ... | |

They carry Linlai, Shuguang, PSVane, Fullmusic, JJ Tubes, and a bunch of Russian reproductions. The owner Helen is easy to... | |
| The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear I certainly do like the idea of vintage equipment, and enjoy it in my friends systems. I just don't want to own it, for reliability sake. I do however own a bunch of tube gear that is manufactured like gear of the past; just made in the 2020s I h... | |
| Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing kdoerner You are 100% correct, this is a thread about your experience; did not mean to hijack your thread | |
| Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing westcoastaudiophile I'm not sure my last post was clear in my intention. I meant to point out that I (at the time) was driving affordable speakers with much more expensive speaker cables.....which makes no sense to me now. System at the time: Bu... | |
| Mark Knopfler & James Taylor Rollling Stones - Gimme Shelter (Live Bridges To Babylon DVD only?) Hurt - Johnny Cash's version Mishka - Music of the Moment Little Feat - Spanish Moon (live Waiting For Columbus) And.......half of my Shazam list | |
| Amplifier recommendation Never heard the Bryston, nor the CODA No 11. I do know that CODA amps are huge current machines and deliver a good chunk of that power in Class A..I know the CODA No 8 well, and own the latest S5.5. The S5.5 drives some very difficult speakers ex... | |
