Replacing generic RECEPTACLES
lowrider57Running both lines to the ground bar in the panel means that they will share the same ground, less chance of a ground-loop.This is required by NEC in the US. All grounds must be connected to the ground bus at the service panel.

elizabethThe requirement for a 20 amp service line is 12 gauge wire....As long as we are getting all technicalNot necessarily. Check the NEC and your local code. Code also almost always (there are some exceptions) requires that any "device" (rece... 
Replacing generic RECEPTACLES
aniwolfeYou can use a 20a receptacle on a 15a line.Correct. But it's a violation of the NEC and potentially hazardous, because the 15A breaker can 't protect against the potential 20A load, would could cause overheating of the wire inside the wa...

elizabeth... 20 amp duplex on 15 amp wires NEC says no. The NEC is not the wire police. They are guides used by electricians as to what they can and cannot do since they are contractors and THEY have legal and liability concerns ... Those co...

profHow do you think we could determine hype from substance, and just as important, self-delusion from reality?The best approach is to use the same techniques that have proven effective in the rest of your life. After all, deceit and propaganda ...

unreceivedogmaBleeds, nice try, but you and so many cable cultists and marketers here conflate ...You are either badly confused, or otherwise just being argumentative. I'm neither a "cultist" nor a marketer.You've already stated that it isn't whe...

unreceivedogma... To some of these, a faith based approach is often applied. So too with COC (the Cult of Cables).Actually, you have this backwards. There's quite a bit of evidence that shows there can be audible differences between cables, some... 
Fundamentalist Fervor
There is actually another thread here that looks at this same issue, but from a less provocative angle. In both cases the answer is really the same: There is no shortage of those who would tell others what to do, think and believe. The best respon... 
Analog "Guru" Wally Malewicz passed away
This is very sad news. Wally was one of the first to recognize the real challenges of phono cartridge alignment and actually do something about it. His "Wallytractor" mirrored gauges allowed a new standard of accuracy for phono setup. He was a tru...

prof... I only use the regular supplied AC cables with all my gear. Yet somehow when I listen to systems in which every AC cord has been replaced with expensive upmarket cords, and there are power regenerators and all the things claimed to ma... 
The Difficulties in Component "Shootouts"
So-called "shootouts" are virtually useless for choosing an audio component, imo. Many sonic differences between audio components are subtle and nuanced. They are best and most reliably revealed over time.

profThat's weird. I had skimmed a post ...  but it was removed. I wonder why?Moderators routinely delete posts that are abusive, profane or significantly off-topic; that promote illegal gambling; or that reveal a user's personal informatio...
