I tend to buy in batches. In 1998, I bought my NHTs, the B&W ASW1000 sub, and Yamaha receiver. In 2007, I bought the PC13-Ultra and both Emotivas. Ought oh. My cycle time is decreasing.

The amp arrived yesterday, about five minutes after I got home - perfect timing! It's still in the box, though. My shame is somewhat mitigated because I spent so long last night fixing the water lines under my kitchen sink. Somewhat.

Adam Audioholic Jedi Jul 5, 2006 32,066 0 113 Tucson, Arizona Oct 28, 2012 #886 I gotta admit, I was chuckling pretty good when I posted the above. I guess my sense of humor was limited to a one-person radius. The amp is now out of the box, but still in the plastic. I'm bracing myself in case it's less than perfect. It was rated 9/10 on Audigon from a well-rated seller, and he did an Adam-level-of-anal packing job in the original box, so expect it to look great. It's really still in the plastic because Niki and I are about to eat dinner, and it's near where she sits...so, it's a white hair shield. One thing that was listed on the original packing list but wasn't in the box was a 12V trigger cable. I'm not judging the seller for not having that at all. It would have been nice, though, and it reminded me that I stupidly forgot to order one. The Emos that I got use a connector that took bare wire (yeah, that was a pain in the a**), so I don't have a regular cable...I don't think. Hmmm. I'll have to go look.

Adam Audioholic Jedi Jul 5, 2006 32,066 0 113 Tucson, Arizona Oct 28, 2012 #889 Woohoo! I remembered that I have two RCA-to-3.5mm mono adapters. Perfect for making a 12V trigger cable.

Adam Audioholic Jedi Jul 5, 2006 32,066 0 113 Tucson, Arizona Nov 1, 2012 #892 I took today off from work, and here's my likely project for today. I've been waiting to install the new amp because I wanted to wait until I got my new speaker wires made up and ready to connect to it. Thanks to ImcLoud for stearing me towards this!

I was waiting until I had the speaker wires made before pulling the IPS-1 out and swapping in the NHT. Because it's sitting on the ground (well, on a pillow...I am OC ), I kept the plastic on to keep it somewhat protected until it went into the entertainment center.

Adam Audioholic Jedi Jul 5, 2006 32,066 0 113 Tucson, Arizona Nov 1, 2012 #895 I got one done. That took a while, but hopefully I'll get faster as I make more of them. I want four done before I swap out the amp. Reactions: Alex2507 and hjustin

Adam Audioholic Jedi Jul 5, 2006 32,066 0 113 Tucson, Arizona Nov 1, 2012 #899 I realized about ten minutes ago that I'm a moron. I thought that the cable pants came in packages of 10 pair...not 10 total. So, I don't have enough. Grumble, grumble. I can finish the cables to connect to my amp, though, so at least I can get it installed this weekend.

H hjustin Audioholic Oct 21, 2012 154 0 0 Nov 1, 2012 #900 What do you use to strip the speaker wire? Do they make a tool that quickly and easily removes the shielding so I don't have to cut it off with a pocket knife?
