Will a Wattgate 20A IEC female end fit AR VS115?
After looking at the 20A wattgate I'm using with my Ref 3 and the pic linked above, I'm not sure there is enough clearance. Check out the wattage's specs athttp://www.wattgate.com/products/350ihcag/The outside diameter on my 20A extends approximat... 
B&W 800 series diamond
My local dealer says the new line will have improved bass and tweeter motor assemblies, simplified crossovers, and new input terminals. Has anyone had a chance to listen and compare the 802 Diamond against the older 802D? 
Phase Linear
I owned a 400 amp. Very unstable when it clipped. It was the last Carver designed product I ever considered owning. 
RE: Outfitting AC to 220V in USA
Obvious addendum: The amp's power cord would have to be fitted with the matching nema configuration plug. 
RE: Outfitting AC to 220V in USA
15 amp 220 lines are used in the US and have a standard NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturer's Association)confirmation different from the Shuko. Larger window air conditions commonly use this configuration plug. Any licensed electrican can inst...

In addition to loontoons questions: How do nonamplified sources such as the choir or piano sound? This may give you an idea of the current acoustic characteristics of the space. Unless your equipment is in a very secure location, commercially rate... 
Reterminating a PS Audio statement power cord?
Probably economic suicide to reterminate a stock cable. You might want to look at a 15 amp to 20 amp IEC adapter instead. Voodoo Audio has advertised one ($50.00) in the past (see Manufacturer's List link) I suspect there are others as well. A num...

How do I keep my cats off my amplifier?
My local pet supply store has a kitty bed with an electric heater that their cats will even use together. Your cat is only doing something it finds pleasing. If you give it a softer more comfortable alternative it may decide to leave the amps alone. 
Lighting, Halogen?, and hi end stereos...
Why not use low wattage halogen bulbs that are rated for 120 volts. More and more bulbs are being manufactured that do not need the transformers. Lowest wattage I recall is 25 watt, then 35, 50, 75, and up. Look for GU8 & Gu8.6 pin spacing in ... 
I want surge protection, but I have no grounds
Will:Was the 35V hot to ground reading via a painted screw? If so check to see if you get a higher reading to some unpainted threads. A lot of older apartments were wired using conduit systems where the conduit "should" make a good ground. I suspe... 
Paint Removal?
Albert gave you excellent solvents to use. Any of them should only be used in a well ventilated area away from ignition sources as they are all very volatile and highly flammable.
