Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets
@jea48 said: Shunyata’s outlet is a Hubbell 5362. It’s still interesting that Galen Carol would recommend the Hubbell outlet if he is selling his version of it. Just a rhetorical statement. Galvanized steel supporting back strap... Not good ... 
Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets
@ghdprentice That’s a great idea and the conclusion I have come to after careful thought.  I think I’m going to go with the PS Audio Power Port outlets for now as I  already have two of them and my system sounds great.  The 10 gauge Romex should b... 
Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets
You guys have been very helpful with all of your impressions concerning your outlets! I know we all are listening to our music in different homes, different rooms with different gear, so it’s always hard to come to a conclusion on what’s the best ...

@zlone I’ve read that the PS Audio outlets that I currently have are the same as the Hubbell 5362. Not sure if that’s true or not? Thanks for your recommendation!  
Ethernet Cables - what are you using and why?
I use (3) DHLabs Reunion CAT8 ethernet cables; from the router > Electric English 8Switch > EE1 network isolator > DAC. The DHLabs is doing the job, but I haven’t compared it to the other ethernet cables.  
My new review for The Absolute Sound comparing AGD GAN amps with BHK300’s
@emailists Great review…. I saw it on YouTube a few days ago.  I like your style of review.  You should do more! @bolong I concur with your assessment of how different interconnects and power cables modify the sound of the Audion amps.  The Audio... 
My experience with The Music Room
@eurorack That was an unfortunate situation with your cd player.  I doubt they knew the unit was inoperable as something could have happened while it was in transit to you.  Mail services don’t always handle our electronics with care.  You would h... 
Gryphon Diablo 333
@audiocanada The dealer not far from me carries both brands, but I had a bad experience with him and I’m not dealing with that guy for anything.  I’m going to sit still with my current amps because they may be hard to beat without spending double ... 
My experience with The Music Room
@eurorack Did your cd player stop working outside of The Music Room’s window of return or was the cd player inoperable upon receiving it?  I returned a pair of Cardas Clear power cables to them because I didn’t like them.  No issues. This is from... 
Gryphon Diablo 333
@audiocanada It’s interesting you mentioned the Luxman M-10x because if I were to make an amplifier swap, I have zeroed in on the Luxman M-10x or the Gryphon Diablo 333 integrated.  I owned the Luxman L509x integrated and I really liked it.  I nev... 
Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects
@audphile1 Concerning the intermittent pops and static, AGD Productions and MSB have been very responsive and AGD has a gameplan to troubleshoot the situation.  We’ll get it worked out.  Yes, the Till Brönner tune is nice! @mclinnguy That playlis...

Thanks @tomic601   
Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects
@mclinnguy I’m not insulted at all with your suggestions.  Here’s a quick snapshot of what I’m dealing with, my speakers are dialed in to a tee.  I already had tight and accurate bass with the Cardas Clear, so the swap to the AZ Absolutes conveyed... 
Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects
UPDATE….  I got the Acoustic Zen Copper interconnects and they outperformed my Cardas Clear interconnects, so they are a new fixture in the chain.  Then, I got a pair of Acoustic Zen Absolute speaker cables on loan from The Cable Company earlier t... 
Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects
@mclinnguy LOL!!!  Did you really?
