One Streamer Wired to Two Systems?
You can connect the Node 2i to HT AVR/processor via coax or optical out.

Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality?
Voltage differences is highly expected, that is the reason insert power diode in series to isolate both PSU. It's perfectly normal one PSU supply current to the load all the time and the other PSU kick-in when higher current is required. That is h... 
Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality?
They are in parallel which means combined together working simultaneously. Actually, both PSU will not output exactly same voltages (e.g. one PSU output 55.1V and the other PSU output 54.9V), the one which output higher voltage will do all the ... 
Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality?
but now they will be doubled up on each channel. Or that will not change inrush? As I mentioned before, those diode in series is to isolate both power supplies and let each power supply only charging its own capacitor.  
Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality?
Maybe, but I don’t think a soft start on 150VA transformer with 2x10,000uf cap is necessary, IMO. https://neurochrome.com/pages/the-ultimate-guide-to-soft-start-design 
Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality?
One function of the capacitor is to smooth AC ripple voltage on the supply rails, higher capacitance is better, provided its not over-stressing the transformer and rectifier, 10,000uF should be fine but do not go any higher.  
help on changing capacitors
Can you buy those capacitors from BAT? 
Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality?
would it be beneficial to increase C to 20,000uf total for each psu, total 40,000uf per pair of psu? Yes, check dimensions if the capacitors can fit in before ordering.   
Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality?
Do you mean at the outputs of the amp/speaker connections? What value would be suitable? No, the diode is in series to each +55V and -55V of the power supplies outputs to Amplifier. The reason of adding those diode in series is to isolate bot... 
Bi Wire Question
I assume I can use both A and B sets?If so.....from the A section on Receiver say left channel....a run from receiver + to high pass + on speaker and from receiver - to lhigh pass - on speaker? Same for right. And from B section on receiver th... 
Hacking a Luxman Integrated
I deleted my last post because it is same as @erikt recommended. Subwoofer output from the Denon to each of the LFE inputs on the subs, the Left line level input from each of the subwoofer connect to Luxman preouts (Sub 1: Luxman Left preout, S... 
Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality?
Jim Stuart of Meridian made a comment years ago when asked about the 'lean' nature of the old Meridian 105 monos. He said what they need is a bigger transformer. The amp and psu are in separate chassis. I just happen to have an extra pair of ...
