Does a brand new electrical circuit for audio gear benefit from burn in/break in time?
Sonic memory is an ephemeral thing.  I had to look up the definition of "ephemeral" but I completely agree with you.  After listening to something I can come away with impressions and feelings and emotions about it, but then later on down the l... 
Does a brand new electrical circuit for audio gear benefit from burn in/break in time?
I’ve sort of given up on scientific explanations- I just roll with it, pray to the audio gods, and if it all turns on and doesn’t blow up, I consider it a successful day. :) @whart I guess I am kind with you on that. I’d always kind of like a s...

That’s exactly what I’m hoping for - lower noise floor. And that is a huge improvement if that’s what the outcome will be. @audphile1 , okay, so this is where some of the disagreement comes up, and I am not saying that I am in either camp (yet)... 
Help and Advice Needed: Cary Audio SLP-05 Preamp RMA Disaster
My interaction with the Quality Service Manager is probably the worst customer service experience I have ever had. Not only was he willing to say things to me that are simply wrong, he is unable to listen to a customers concerns and address them....

I don’t know this to be an audio-fact, I am only surmising, but I suspect that it is possible that the effects of RF might not always be a detectable/audible hum or buzz. I think it might also produce a grain that you wouldn’t even realize you wer...

I don’t think I have ever heard of anyone that has disputed this outcome, as in everything else about high end audio. @ghdprentice  , however there does appear to be plenty of dispute related to the best way to go about implementing this upgrad...

@immatthewj I searched and read a lot of the posts but didn’t see anything comprehensive posted recently.  @audphile1 , I scrolled through my own replies to threads and starting in late October is when I began paying attention to the dedicated ...

@whart  excellent synopsis of what I have been reading on this subject over the last month or so.  Particularly excellent was the reference to Jea48 on the subject.  I have learned a lot from him (and Erik Squires and Dpop and Ditusa and others).

. . . as I have recently been redoing my circuits I have been paying attention to these dedicate circuit question threads, and there have been a whole lot of them over the last month or so.  I am not sure how the search function works on this site... 
Dedicated Line - Things to consider
I am pretty sure that most everyone will say to run a minimum of 12 awg with 20A breakers. There does seem to be disagreement on whether gear on multiple circuits induces RF or not. I won’t even venture into this territory given my knowledge defi... 
Advantage using one electrical leg for audio system?
Thanks for the clarification, @jea48  . NO.. Two 10/2 with ground Romex cables fed from single pole breakers fed from the same Line, Leg,... IS Much, Much, better than what you have now... Actually I am presently running my gear on three runs...
