What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines?
          andybflo 8AWG will give you no more current than 12AWG of the amp doesn’t need it Not necessarily. If you have voltage drop (because of the length of the run, or heat build-up in a conduit), the 8 gauge will be able to deliver... 
What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines?
audioguy85 why make life diffucult restling with 10 gauge....code for 20 Amp is the yellow romex 12 gauge. The 10 is overkill. Depending on the length of the run and whether it is in conduit, 12 AWG may not meet local code for a 20A line. I... 
Precision Motor Controller
I am pretty sure that your Micro uses a DC servo motor. The controllers you mention such as the VPI are for AC synchronous motors.  
Apple Music HIFI edition
mahler123 It’s probably half a loaf either way. I use AirPlay sometimes but it’s definitely lossy Are you sure? I thought Airplay was 16/44.1. That’s bandwidth limited if you’re playing hi-res, but that’s not exactly "lossy."

Any electrical supply house will have 10 AWG solid core. Home Depot, too, I'm sure.  
Homage to those who are pleased with your audio rig
I am extremely pleased with my audio system and have been for years. Upgrades happen, but they're rare. I buy most equipment new and don't replace any of it casually. I'm still using my Infinity IRS Beta speaker system. I kept my ARC SP-11 Mk. II... 
Quest for an external Dac has resulted in me way down the rabbit hole
  dbwinters I’ve been to a couple higher end stereo stores and I seem to just get the “party line”. I'm not sure what that means. Did you hear any DAC at the various dealers that you like?    
Threshold Stasis 5.0 preamp
I was surprised to see that it wasn't listed in the Logitech database. Are you sure that your remote is defective and that the problem is not in the preamp's IR receiver? One way to check might be if you can find a Threshold dealer with a function... 
Single vs Dual Power Transformers
  watchdog005 ... in the rare case where the recording is much louder in one channel or the other a single much more powerful transformer can handle the spike much easier than one smaller of two transformers can. Sorry, but that d... 
Single vs Dual Power Transformers
watchdog005 ... one negative to dual mono transformers is if there happens to be a time when the recording requires an unbalanced surge of power to the left or right channel in which one of the two smaller transformers might not be able to ... 
Best streamer for a returning audio guy
  arafiq ... @ghdprentice ’s advice was misunderstood. I have never seen him look down on anyone’s equipment. +1. He's one of the good guys here.

WiFi streaming — streamer vs. through iPad
                  classdstreamer If I remember correctly, Airplay is limited to 24/48 ... I think 16/44.1 is the limit of Airplay and its emulators.  
Best streamer for a returning audio guy
twodogs112 Cleeds, I understand your reluctance of owning  a “pricey watch”. However you missed the point ... No, I understood exactly what you meant. twodogs112 I can afford whatever I wish to buy, if I so choose. A simple question f... 
Qobuz Skipping or Short Pauses
edcyn ... I’ve found that Qobuz always inserts an approximately 2 second pause between cuts. Hmmm, that sounds like a hardware or setup problem. I have no problem getting gapless playback with Qobuz.
