Can speakers cause mental illness?
Come on, let’s be real here. Audiophilia is a mental illness in and of itself. The obsessing about the 1%, endless discussion of power cables, interconnects, speaker cables etc. really? It’s about as bad as it gets!  Having said that, a Kenjit thr... 
How old are you?
Dang, a bunch of old dudes! 54... yeah I’m one! Haha! Still feel (or wish I did) like I did at 20. Good health is a blessing! First “stereo” was a Fisher “integrated” MC-4530 TT and all. Loved that thing.  
Dedicated line questions...
The “goal” would be to get an over crowded circuit (11 receptacles, 4 light switches) off of the path. I have no other choice in terms of circuit or placement unfortunately. I pull off one receptacle into a Furman Elite for all my audio with the e...

What if any, is the difference between a band or a group?
Completely interchangeable. Neither has any relevance other than preference of word. I’ve been in bands, and groups and I’ve been in bands that we sometimes referred to as a group or vice versa. Not complicated.Having said that, a “band” is loosel... 
Purifi Class D: Junk?
Seems these guys are “fusers”. Some of the rationale makes sense IMO. https://www.stereophile.com/content/hifi-tuning-fuses 
“Classic” phono stages 2007-20013?
Regarding the EAR, it would appear it does not have capacitance adjustments. Is using it a bit of a crap shoot with MC carts? Or is there some magic in the EAR that makes this a non issue? 
SME tonearm rewire - holy cow
@bigwave1, what is removing the bridge supposed to accomplish? Just curious... 
“Classic” phono stages 2007-20013?
I might need to give the EAR834p a shot. It sounds like it hits “all the buttons” so to speak... by far the one most mentioned here so far!
