Dedicated power circuits
@minorl Wow great post, thanks for that. I found that to be some of the best no nonsense AC information Ive read here. Also took a look at your system on your profile, wow again, any chance for some pics? Thx again!  
Power cord - 5 ft vs 10 ft ?
Got the feeling Jason Borne was left permanently scarred by nasty power cable break up, can take some time to heal maybe someday meet a new cable.  
Pontus 2 not working.
@tah800 Unplug it for a few minutes and then plug it back in. Its the one complaint I have with mine. No master power switch so if the power cable especially an aftermarket one is not seated just so it’ll shut down and need to be rebooted.  
Ultimate stereo nightmare
@rvpiano Just occurred to me,what I do is put my phone or pad in back of my system in places I need to look at and take a picture. Allows me to enlarge it to look at things I need to see . My problem is vision, tricky to do but it can be done, har...

@rvpiano Seems like in NYC there would be a number of audio clubs you could tap for help. If you were in So Cal Id gladly come and help on this weekend. Best of luck.   
Another cable question
@audphile1 Thanks, very sage advice. I started streaming with a inexpensive Marantz unit. The idea being I,d stream while puttering around the house or was out in the backyard, well that was three streamers ago now and I almost never spin Vinyl ca...

Wow! There are two cable threads running concurrently,probably close to fifty posts and not one cable basher has crashed the party. That’s gotta be some kind a record. New Year’s resolutions?  
Another cable question
@audphile1 Both the power conditioner and the power amp are 15 amp so that works good as you point out Thanks audiophile one!. @soix Soix I sent a question out to you yesterday but I tagged it wrong. When you decided to add a ddc was that decision... 
Another cable question
@audphile1 Thanks for taking the time. A number of members and I believe you may be one of them highly recommend the upper end AQ power cables. I decided this morning Id contact the Cable Company this week and inquire about a few loaners. I’ve bou... 
Another cable question
@kota1 thanks everyone! Lots to consider. Kota1 when you set your path to add the ddc and cable was it to just be able to connect via I2s? or was there a specific change in SQ that you were aiming for by connecting that way? IDK if the exchange ra... 
RIP Modest Mouse drummer, co-founder Jeremiah Green, dead at 45
@jerryg123 Really sad, I don’t always pay that much attention to drummers,but his work was really unique and I found myself always drawn back to they’re music because of him in particular. Have some on vinyl also my daughter gave me. He was a big ... 
Another cable question
@marco1 Thanks for the response. Just looked all the pricing up, yes healthy investment. I always do everything in steps to help with sticker shock, did you do everything at once? Or was it done incrementally? Ive got a few ac cables I can switch ...

@lak Thanks Lak.Appreciate it!  
Another cable question
@ghdprentice@soix Thanks for questions.  When I took this digital detour (system was originally intended for vinyl) I became really fascinated with all the information I hadn’t heard on vinyl. My vinyl playback and digital side sound nothing alike...
