    First time separates system, help connect

    The Schitt Mani 2 would be a good alternate choice for the ART preamp as a moving coil cartridge output booster . It's price is however close to double that of the ART model.

    Poor man's 7 chan/driving a second amp and 2 more speakers

    The Denon AVR-X3700H is designed to drive external amps and that is what I'm doing. There is nothing weird with that and this also allows me to bi-amplify my three front channel speakers.

    Monolith 13" vs 15" V2 (Measurement Discrepancies?)

    Trudeau

    Are you referring to Poilievre? I don't like him. He always attacks Trudeau in Parliament with negative comments, insulting him. He never suggests intelligent alternate solutions. The Conservative party he leads is seldom the favourite one in Quebec nowadays. He would need Quebec's support to...

    Ukraine – Russia … not more of the last thread

    Let's hope so. Otherwise, the future for the United States and the planet will be questionable. He definitely needs to be declared as ineligible for a presidency post.

    Which Appliances Consume Electricity When Turned OFF?

    The new thermostat is way more precise than the 35 year old analog junk supplied with the apartment. I'm sure I will definitely save some money on the heating bill portion. From now on, it will reduce the temperature every night by 2 Celsius degrees, and will automatically raise it back to...

    The digital thermostat that I bought, a Honeywell RLV4300, is connected to a baseboard heater. It's standard cycle period is 15 seconds which is suitable for baseboard elements, but it can be switched to a 5 minute cycle for a fan operated furnace. By the way, I also have a Kill-A-Watt gadget.
