| New Dedicated 20A Circuit Wiring Questions OP: For series mode devices, like Furman SMP and Zerosurge, the surge protection IS the major part of the noise filtering. The central component is a low pass filter that starts ~ 3 kHz. Well above 60 Hz line level, and well below EMI/RFI filte... | |
| New Dedicated 20A Circuit Wiring Questions OP: You are correct about wall warts taking up space, fortunately we don't have to be very careful about them, and can use short splitters or extenders. | |
| New Dedicated 20A Circuit Wiring Questions OP: Zerosurge and Furman's SMP use similar technology and have similar guidelines. Furman's LiFT adds additional filtering, but due to series mode protection, both offer excellent noise reduction that goes down to around 3 kHz. The also both off... | |
| New Dedicated 20A Circuit Wiring Questions Oh, yeah, let's not forget the value of power factor correction for high current delivery, or that if your voltage is variable a voltage regulator delivers better than any straight wire. | |
| New Dedicated 20A Circuit Wiring Questions You have a whole house surge protector, the Zerosurg is an unnecessary road block WHSPs are designed to protect things which normally can’t be surge protected. This includes: House wiring, which can start an in-wall fire Fire alarms Maj... | |
| New Dedicated 20A Circuit Wiring Questions Here are my thoughts: You have 2 options IMHO to wall warts: Buy low noise supplies from iFi or linear equivalents Keep them outside your cleanest most sterile zone. It’s worth getting a small Furman strip with SMP and LiFT just for the wal... | |

| Anthem Customer Service I've found their e-mail support quick, but often not useful. For a variety of reasons I'm now recommending Marantz over Anthem. The quality of the room correction, lack of ability to directly alter EQ curves and the incorrect / incomplete use of... | |
| Outlet Question @zlone : Mechanical and electrical. Mechanically it’s what keeps the assembly firmly attached to the box no matter how much force you use to insert a plug. Electrically It is what the ground conductor screw attaches to. The same strap then goe... | |
| Outlet Question OP: A peculiarity of the code is that 15A and 20A outlets may be used on 20A circuits. For this, the two types have identical quality and current capacities. Meaning there’s no point in putting in a 20A outlet in a 15A circuit, it’s not built bet... | |

| Outlet Question Hi OP! So, lets get regulations out of the way first. Outlets in a home today must be tamper resistant. I don’t know of any "audio" grade outlet ( and I use the term sneeringly) which has this feature. Of course if you are retrofitting 1 outlet i... | |
| Cable vs fiber for audio quality I don't think there's going to be any audible difference at all. The quality will depend on your streamer. Having said that, reliable is better than not. My normal cable provider is fast/cheap and sometimes goes out for days at a time, so I als... |
