Albertporter only needs 50

Electrical outlet upgrade worth it?
Czbbcl,I have it a little better than the average audiophile does. When I finished my basement I had one room left over 15’ X 13’, (far from perfect but it’s all mine). Besides two regular in wall outlets behind my equipment I also installed four ...
