Quad panel outlet - can I do one circuit on this?
gs5556 A true 20-amp circuit has a 20-amp receptacle, which has a different blade configuration so a standard (15-amp) plug won't fit into it. Are we talking about the US? A 15A plug will fit into a 20A receptacle. The opposite is not the case... 
Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping
jerryg123 Fuse standards are not UL. Safety standards are set forth by the N.E.C. in the US ... You are mistaken - UL most certainly sets standards and issues certifications for fuses. Some info specifically referring to fuses and fusehold... 
What is the best way to clean Vinyl?
rsf507 US do a great job at cleaning BUT are a PITA to use. That’s why there are units such as the Klaudio (and Audiodesk). The one-button simplicity and ease-of-use simply can’t be beat.  
Isolation transformers output voltage higher than wall
erik_squires Acceptable AC voltage range in the US is 110V to 126V. That is mistaken. Nominal US voltage is 120VAC, most states regulate that at ±5 percent, so the range is between about 114VAC to 126VAC. That's actually explained in the link ... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
kuribo And why we are continuously subjected here in this non-commercial forum to these blatant commercial ads is sickening. Perhaps you are visiting the site too frequently if your frustration and sickness is continuous. Perhaps you shoul...

I prefer ultrasonic. I really like the one-button convenience of the Klaudio, and there's also the AudioDesk. They're pricey, though.  
Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube!
rbertalotto ... is it total nonsense when YouTubers play music to suggest you can hear a difference between components ... It’s nonsensical to me how anyone can use a lo-res source such as YT to judge audio quality. Yet there are some YouTuber... 
After fifty years… amazing. What high end audio can be.
whart I wonder if we are the last of a generation that grew up with hi-fi and made it an important part of our lives ... It just doesn't seem to be a priority to some of the younger generation ... I'm not lamenting the loss of the good old d... 
Help - Mystery Hum that starts at my Streamer
Has the system previously worked without issue and this is a new problem?  
Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system?
charles1dad ... there’s really no effective reasoning with this rigid mindset. I agree completely, and would only add that some some clearly come here specifically to argue and pontificate.  
Does USB quality matter when ripping CDs?
carlsbad ... you mentioned ripping, which is different than copying ... It is? What's the difference?  
SACD players that will consistantly read the SACD layer of a hybrid disk?
Any properly functioning SACD player should have no problem. Take your pick.  
That sound is right for me.
The issue here isn't that you're listening using headphones but that you're using YouTube. It's difficult to judge fidelity from such a lo-res source.  
What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V?
pindac Send to me a private mail and I can give you a Pointer toward a Arm that has for a few put this arm and the Sibling Arm IV on the storage shelf. Why the secrecy? It's difficult to better the SME V. Maybe a Triplanar. Maybe.  
Amp biasing question
ghdprentice The point of sequencing is in case your preamp causes a thump when turned on. This way I f the amp is off, the thump does not go through to the speakers. Yes, agreed. If your equipment doesn’t do it, then not something to worry a...
