| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES In my research the most important element seems to be a layer of carbon fiber on the cover to protect against RFI and vibration. Some forums recommend using a non-magnetic stainless steel cover. Available for quad receptacles.These were highly rec... | |
| how to connect power for amps Those cheap plastic strips for computers definitely affect sonics.Wiremold makes a very transparent power strip with no filters. There are many configurations, the best being aluminum with 6 ft. cord.https://www.mscdirect.com/industrialtools/wirem... | |

| Classical composers, symphonies tute, never heard of Exton. I just sampled some tracks and they sound great thru my computer. It seems like they have more albums available for download than for CD.For mass produced classical I like Telarc, Teldec, Decca, Chesky (not so mass prod... | |
| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES OK, I've got it now. It sounds like a solid plan.Running both lines to the ground bar in the panel means that they will share the same ground, less chance of a ground-loop.Please let us know how it all comes together. You have great components. | |
| how to connect power for amps I’m contemplating upgrading to a DAC+pre-amp+mononblock which obviously will require four outlets.First question; is your AC line 15 amps and is it shared by other wall receptacles in your house or apt?Second; how powerful are the monoblocks? If t... | |

| Ruku plus NetFlix runs the dog out of the house! Noise from digital devices present at high frequencies. Very different from analogue ground faults which we've all heard. | |
| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES The 2 double receptacles on your 20 amp line equals one 20A dedicated line.It's fine to run an amp plus preamp on the same line; the 2 components will draw less than 20 amps. It would not be a good idea to run monoblocks on the same AC line due to... | |
| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES have a dedicated line for my Krell FPB 600 amp and my ARC Ref 6 preamp which i will be adding the Furutech GTX-d r. But not for my Rega Isis cdp. Would you also recommend a dedicated line for the cdp too? It would make sense to add a second 20 am... | |
| Power Cables If you are using a high power amp you should use a PC rated for use with high current components.Preamps and DAC's draw very low current and can use a 14 gauge (thin) cable. | |
| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES Are you using dedicated AC lines? Proper grounding will reduce noise. | |
