Another dedicated circuit question
@jea48 thank you for the added input. A couple of things with a question(s) added: About my breaker arrangement on my panel: I typoed again in previous post. There now are FIVE breakers on the leg I used for the 3 circuits I just added. From th... 
Another dedicated circuit question
@erik_squires   thanks for getting back to me.  Only 4 things will be on these/this circuit(s).  My SA10 SACD player, my pre, my amp and my powered sub.  So going by your above post, nothing really needs to be segregated from anything else?  And I...

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... 
Vintage tube sound from a modern amp
@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?
@immatthewj Yes, the Live In Paris Version. Also, Check out Black Hole Sun by Norah Jones live... @andynotadam  I was on an ebay SHM CD buying binge, and I believe I did get that live Norah Jones CD.  I have only listened to it once, though.  ...

@erik_squires  I have been reading &rereading through your blog, and thank you for providing it, as I am finding it informative. Forgive me for some of the stupid questions I am probably goingto ask. I will start with this one From your blo...

MD sells the Furman PST-*D Power Station (8 outlets) for $269 + tax which is withing my range, but it says to use only on 15A circuits Where did you read that? @jea48  , on page 3 of the instruction manual (pdf) is where it says to connect it ...

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... 
Another dedicated circuit question
@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...
