Amps In Wall Or Conditioner?
Funny Charles! Most familiar with your conditioner as I had two upper end units over the years. My gear, system, and amps all sounded better through it. I remember the music taking on better weight and bass foundation as well as cleaner and smooth... 
Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers……
Understood.  The Black Mamba is certainly highly regarded.  I bet the combo is wonderful. Shunyata makes a line of great sounding power cords.

@whipsaw So happy for you! You are hearing what I hear and enjoy! What are you using for a power cord on your A200? I have the Nogami from Hijiri that Colin turned me onto. Oh boy, this cord mates perfectly  with the A200.

@notmkid, Good for you! Looked up your speakers and they look most interesting. I also own Danish speakers - Dali Epicon. 6’s. I can confidently say the A200 is a very special sounding piece. Keep us updated.  
Amps In Wall Or Conditioner?
Understand completely.  Folks love the Niagara.  Tvad here liked it more than the Puritan 🙂.  What’s most important is you just need to try for yourself.  Trial period would be great!  
Amps In Wall Or Conditioner?

How long can a electrolytic capacitor last un-used?
Agreed.  They still dry out and will need replacing.  Does it need it now?  Perhaps not, but it will in next couple of years. If she is quiet with no buzzing or humming that is good.   
Network Switches
Let me add this final comment. For me, me only, I find myself so engaged to my music that at times it brings me to tears connecting with both the emotions and intentions of the artists. This kind of realism and emotional impact only came about as ... 
Network Switches
Ethernet cables matter and they impact sound quality in important ways. Only way to know is to try for yourself. Speculation and thinking won’t get you there. You must try. If your system is resolving enough and you care about tone, realism and ot... 
New speaker cables recommendations sought
I would use the Duelund 12 gauge Polycast. Cost is low and they are even warmer than the cloth version.  Use bare wire for connections. Cost under $100.   
New speaker cables recommendations sought
Duelund  12 gauge or Western Electric 10 gauge speaker cables DIY. Warm and full bodied with big stage size.  Music presented with a nice sense of ease and natural flow.  Can be made for under $350 DIY..  I have made many dozens of these.  
Supply chain affecting anyone?
I am thankful for what I have and what most of us all enjoy today. The sky is not falling and perhaps it’s time to take a deep breath. Sometimes the best way through challenging times is not to grumble or spread fear. Sometimes it’s best to be tha... 
Help me pick one of four music servers/streamersreqi
The Zenith 3.   It has 3 separate LPSs built inside already.  I found the the Phoenix reclocker offered little to no sonic improvement with my Mojo Audio Evo dac.  
A non-subjective recommendation for the Puritan PSM156
@slaw,Your 156 has DC blocking on every outlet already!

I love Innuos.  Never an issue and great sounding.  Their new Sense software sounds better than Roon to boot!
