Dedicated line: 10 gauge solid core or 8 gauge stranded
@galpi i did basically the same. 10 gauge line (cryo’d Romex) to a quad receptacle, synergistic line filter box for for front end and direct from wall for monoblocks. No noise no complaints. Yet.

You can run 10awg on a 20amp breaker doesn’t have to be 30amp.  
Any advantage to Bluesound Node 2i Versus Streaming from PC
I’m wondering the exact same thing!I store about 4TB on external drive which I play through iTunes on Airplay. I have an extra airport that is connected to my DAC via an Audioquest Forest mini Toslink to Toslink cable.I read the things like Spotif...

JJ Cale - ShadesJJ is an all time fave but this one is particularly mellow in the 2nd half. 
TT Hum
No I don't hear it on the recordings really, it's far too faint for that, or I haven't tried any music quiet enough to notice. I'm talking solely about when there is no music playing (so maybe it just doesn't matter) ad it's loudest while resting.... 
TT Hum
@chakster Yeah I have done/checked every one of those basic tests and have narrowed it down. It's not a ground issue - my phono cable grounded to either phonostage or preamp is all good. Its a very quiet hum (not buzz) and it really only happens w...

You may get your wish mate, Trump just announced the possible banning of Tik Tok (not that I use that, but I have a 10 year old). Reminds me of when I went to play in Shanghai and realized Facebook was banned.  
So, I got scammed. Beware.
I got my money back. THANK GOD. Now I just need to find the perp and dangle them off a terrace. 
Is Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF) sexist?
Sorry LOL this isn't what most of you come here to hear, but WAF is certainly sexist. It assumes roles based on antiquated breadwinner/homemaker mentality. No point in denying, it might be less futile to simply acknowledge your inherent isms and g...

No, thankfully not from Audiogon. Of course not all online purchases are fraud, I do them all day, but just calling out this site as it appears to be rife with scams.This is the seller: https://hifitorget.se/visa_annons.php/marantz_sacd_cd_spelare...
