With that typed, I was ASSUMING that a 20A breaker should not only be in front of, at minimum, 12 gauge wire, but also a 20A breaker. @jea48 thanks for getting back to me. The above was a bit of a typo that I can no longer correct on the post i...

@erik_squires  I often read to hastily & miss detail. I was back into your blog and rereading some more, and after clicking on links that took me to Amazon, I note that the PST-8D at MD has a couple of digital outlets (obviously to put a CD/S...

@oddiofyl  , that one is a looker.  If it sounds like it looks, I bet it is killer.

Cary used to wire their amps point to point.  I don't know for sure if that still holds true, although I think it does.  I do know that my Cary SLP90 (pre) is wired point to point, but the SLP05I recently picked up is PCB.

Thanks, @jea48 , as I previously typed: electrical is a weak subject for me. After that first of about three ’dedicated circuit’ threads, one of the things I THOUGHT I came away with was that a 20A breaker meant a 20A circuit & needed a 20A o... 
What selections do you play when showing off your system to others?

I’ve owned "Hair Of The Dog" on 8-Track, LP, and in ’90 I bought the CD. Saw them (and Thin Lizzy) at the Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis in ’79. RIP.

@immatthewj I have an extra Audioquest power cord.  For my use that is fine.  For yours, I personally wouldn't invest too much in a power cord but would use this temporarily until I could get better power conditioning. I have not noticed any de...

@immatthewj  I found out that three dedicated lines was another mistake I made.  Not really... If the correct type of branch circuit wiring is used, and the correct method of installing the branch circuit wiring is used. I have two dedicated 2... 
Another dedicated circuit question
I am with Matthew, above, and I wrote about it, below.  Personally I believe that a good power conditioner can be better than dedicated lines: @erik_squires  , well, the dedicated line is now in existence so I may as well use it, but I do need ... 
Another dedicated circuit question
@jgoldrick  , for now I can live with only adding more outlets.  Were you able to use all three of the audioquest's outlets?  I take it you noted no perceptible degradation by using it?  And lastly, what are you using for a power cord to connect i...
