Jh901- i agree.

I have a Shunyata Denali for my front end rack and run my amps direct into the wall. I use all Shunyata Sigma PC except from Denali to Preamp. I use an Enklein DAVID for that. It’s amaizng.

My room uses the top level DTX-D-NCF Furutech outlets, all 10 gauge stranded copper wire (with every run exactly the same length to avoid ground loops) and utilizes Environmental Protections EP-2750 ground filters on each circuit and an EP-2050 surge protection system on my dedicated sub panel. Each outlet has its own breaker.

I have a video on my YouTube channel that describes and shows the whole thing.

Been preaching this for a long time now.  If you can afford to run dedicated circuits to you listening room, do it. You won't be sorry.  I have two in the room.  I move the wall that I have the system on and will have the electrician come in to move each circuit to the new wall.  I'll plug the amps directly into the wall (each one is grounded via copper spike deep into the ground) and then plug the Niagara into the other outlet and all source components into the Niagara.  It's been an incredible power deal for sure.

Really? Ha. Not for this thread.
I'd love their legendary home theater prepro (SP3) for my home theater though!

Sold my server that Steve Nugent built. Ran on a Hynes SR5 highly modified by Steve.  Great unit.  The buyer, a great guy, drove up to pick it up.  He listened to my system for an hour or so.  He was shocked at how good it sounded.  He was particularly impressed by the Laufer Teknik Memory Player with internal DAC that I keep posting about here and on a few other boards.  It's not even set up properly yet and the DAC is prototype as I've said, but it's really special already. 

I'm really intrigued by where digital is right now and where it's headed.  What I find interesting is that the best way to keep up right now seems to be with the one to three person companies who are constantly upgrading the software.  They also upgrade the hardware constantly adn offer customers the upgrades as minimal costs so that you can keep up with state of the art easier than with the major companies. 

I'm sure may of you will disagree and that's fine as it will have to be an agree to disagree.  There are just so many good options we all have now.
