Installing dedicated 10 gauge lines
Electricians are good at fishing wires into walls, either from in the crawl space, if you have one, or your attic. Or surface mounted conduit on an exterior wall, there are a lot of possibilities. Removing drywall from the panel to your new dedica... 
Interested in finding a NAIM dealer on the east coast.
You could go to Naim's website, and use the Find a Dealer tab. Crazy idea, I know.  
The Luxman L-595A SE integrated is coming.
aberyclark 1,188 posts 04-03-2022 at 01:28pm I’m hoping to find a used or demo 590axii. I can’t swing a L-595 (a couple of dealer’s still have one...I’m sure they won’t budge on price). The 509x may be the ticket as well. My Z... 
Power Cables and Wall Sockets
You can measure the size at the outlet. That’s not 100%, but there normally shouldn’t be any change in wire size after the panel. You can also look at it in the panel at the breaker, if you're comfortable removing the panel cover. All the wires wi... 
Power Cables and Wall Sockets
carlsbad 475 posts 03-31-2022 at 02:36pm  @builder3 rereading your post I'm not sure we disagree.  All the homes I've seen in CA have 14 gauge wire for 15 amp outlets.  I just installed a new circuit for my stereo using 10 awg. T... 
Power Cables and Wall Sockets
artemus_5 1,613 posts   03-31-2022 at 07:29am     ...FWIW I will also correct @carlsbad on the size wire in the wall going to the outlet. It is 12 ga rather than 14. I’ve seen 14 used for light switches but not outlets...   ... 
Bi-Wire or Double Run of Single Wire ???
1happyman 03-21-2022 at 12:47I had my Linn Nexus Bi-wired for about 20 years.     So, about when the previous post was made, lol.  
Amplifiers from the big [expensive] brands in Japan?
Jack, I own the Luxman L-590AX, which was the version just prior to the now discontinued L-590AXII.  Class A, rated 30wpc into 8 ohms, actually puts out more like 100 watt/channel. I'll tell you I love it, super detail, great bass control. The bad... 
What is your favorite cover?
Probably this.    
Dedicated Circuits - Subpanel importance?
On the other hand, if he's meticulous, and can come into a multi-million dollar home and not damage half of what he touches, he can pretty much name his price.  
Speaker Sound
No. You need jumpers now. You’re only running part of your speakers. Here’s a picture with jumpers. You can make jumpers with short pieces of wire, if needed.    
What's with website?
Incoherent sentences and no proofreading are something that stops my mousing. I'm being serious.  
Neil Young calls out Tidal
Well, doctors, and Neil Young. And except Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of mRNA technology.  
Protecting Equipment from Children
Teach them what you want them to know. Don't sell them short, kids have minds like sponges.  
Question about Class A
Jay, if you can find one, the Luxman L-550AX should run around $2500/3000, used and in very nice condition. They're 20W class A, then switch to A/B. I own an L-590AX, which is 30W, I bought it used for $4300, and it looked like new. That amp is on...
