Budget High Current Power Cords
twoleftears +1 excellent question. 
Budget High Current Power Cords
Many lessons here, and thanks for them. Seems there are more worthy PCs in heaven and earth than had been dreamt of in my philosophy. Maybe should have asked "non-DIYers, what PCs do YOU use for wall out to amp, conditioner, subs?" My budget for c... 
Budget High Current Power Cords
nonoise, thanks, I was looking at Cullen and using AQ already for source components; don't yet know TWL or those covered in the review, but will soon.The road goes on forever and the party never ends, eh? I'll assume, although nobody ever quite sa... 
Get the best from your system while listening without any cost
Glad I live alone in a big house. Nobody microwaving, no teenagers blow-drying, audio on a separate circuit, and the few neighbors all retire by 10 pm. Music blasts from a black background while I pee off the deck gazing out at Jupiter and no one ... 
Subwoofer Out to Mains?
Ah! Then that really answers all my questions at one swipe. Much appreciated! 
Amps In Wall Or Conditioner?
@tomic601 Somehow overlooked Isotek, thanks for the prompt. Now I'm off to watch Kevin D's pitch on the device. Nice that Upscale sells both, and I have tested/uptraded other components with them before. 
Amps In Wall Or Conditioner?
@tomic601 router/network switch not on linear filter, not even near the wireless source components (I use a booster in the listening room), but this could be arranged & I have explored the cost/benefit logistics, thanks in large part to your c...

Amps In Wall Or Conditioner?
builder3, yes I will experiment within the limit of available possibilities at any particular time.gdhp, mijostyn, thanks for the clarification. As it happens, nothing but audio outlets on my (in that sense) dedicated circuit. Believe I will add a... 
Amps In Wall Or Conditioner?
ghdprentice, not sure I know what you mean by direct lines. Separate dedicated wall outlets for different amps on the same circuit? Or whole dedicated circuits for each amp? Or something completely different? Thanks.

Tannoy Definition Subwoofer
Just a closeout price, not scratch & dent. Kevin bought them all, every unit the distributor had remaining, hence the bargain price. According to Kevin's video, it DOES have adjustable high-pass filter. Also, goes down to 15-19Hz, depending on... 
HiFi vs MidFi
