power for mc452 and c2600
I can't have a whole house surge protector because I don't have my main panel in my house, not even a main breaker, just a sub panel. My electrician told me it would not be possible unless it is installed outside by the main panel, which I can not...

I could get an Isotek evo3 Polaris for $300 new without cord. Is there a difference between Polaris vs. Sirius ? Is that a good deal, or should I get the Sirius for 500?

Thanks LalitkIn terms of protection, would isotek be better than the ones listed above? Do you have one?  
power for mc452 and c2600
 I've learned a a lot from your comments and experience. Thank you. Getting a dedicated 20amp AC  line or the whole house surge protector is not feasible at this moment. I'm gonna stay away from cheap conditioners. I would like to begin with a sim... 
Amp Recommendation for Vienna Acoustics
Privet Sergei, I have VA Mozart Grand. Took me a while to find a good amp that would reveal its full potential. Started with Rotel 100Wpc, the sound was thin and the bass was lacking.  Switched to krell kav150, still not enough power. Ultimately g...

Dave, I've asked this question in more than one thread because I wasn't sure if I was in the correct topic. Also, figured I would get more opinions this way. I'm not looking for the answer I want. If anything, I am more confused by varying opinion...

Lowrider57 or anyone knowledgeable on this topic: do you think that one of the cheaper surge protectors/conditioners listed below would be worse than using a furman power strip ss6b?  I understand I won't get good power conditioning from these, bu... 
recommendation on power conditioner for mc452
Need something for surge protection which doesn't take away from current. Also cleaning /conditioning not required.

I've looked at many forums and have seen this topic discussed to death but still no clear answer.  I do not have a dedicated 20amp circuit. Probably will not be possible.  I do not need or want a conditioner per se.  What's important to me is prot...

Best small used monitors under $1000
Try Vienna acoustics Hayden, incredible sound when used with a powerful amp. They're pretty close to my VA Bach and Mozart  
What's been your turntable ownership over the years?
I'm thinking about adding a turntable to my ma6600. Is there a quality unit that I can get for under $1,000 that would give me  90-95% sound of a high end unit ? Any recommendations for a modern looking unit with that price range would be apprecia... 
How will I know when a Krell KSA-80b needs to be recapped?
Recently bought a 20 year old krell KAV500, worked fine for couple weeks, now I hear popping sounds from the amp while it's on and even after it's been off for several hours. It works well otherwise, full power to all 5 channels. Sound lasts less ...
