Am I hearing things?
General contractor here. You can NOT use a 30 amp breaker with a 20amp rated outlet. It could over heat and cause a fire. Fix that ASAP and stick with a 20amp outlet and you should be good. You shouldn’t need more than 20 for audio.  
Do HDMI Cables make a Difference?
Decent

Got tons of audioquest cables. Very legit and quite event for the price.  
HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ???
Actually it was an unnamed dealer north of the border. I’m sure plenty of people would sell through PayPal. I was just venting. I also believe people are asking too much for used equipment. You take it home and use it for a year expect 1/2 of purc... 
HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ???
I can also say that if you have no feedback people will not sell to you.....EVER! As some snobbish seller so rudely told me after enquiring about his item. So now I’ll just buy from us audio Mart and use you guys for good information.  
Plinius Hiato vs MA9000 vs Hegel H360 (powerful integrated amps under 10k with 200 watts)
I drive 4ohm 87 dB sensitive speakers all day with a pl hp with kt-150 tubes. It’ll drive almost any speaker. 100wpc tube amp gas quite some power compared to ss. Has much longer legs than ss imo. 
PRIMALUNA OR ROGUE AUDIO
Agree with stereo 5. Primaluna dialogue premium with the new Kt 150's is mind-blowing. IMO, it sounds as good as separates costing 5 times more. I'm getting one as soon as I sell some of my stuff. Can't wait. 
Tube suggestions for hybrid integrated amp
Nos Mullard, telefunken or rca cleartops.  
Should I recap my speakers? If so who can do it?
Just recapped some old altec model 19s with solens caps.. Its a little bright compared to what it was but there’s quite some time left before burn in. I’m quite impressed by the increased detail and bass. Best 200$ I’ve soent in a while. All done ... 
Tung-Sol EL-34B vs Genalex Gold Lion KT77 for Cayin A100T Integrated Tube Amplifier
The 2 12au7s. They are the tone tubes on the pre. I have a Cayin hybrid with 2 12au7s. I’m thinking it should be the same though yours is not a hybrid.  
Upgrade from ADS L1230
Recap those bad boys.  
Who said “ flat freq response “ is the best?
Big, hairy Tibetan mastiffs work even better.  
Can someone explain to me why : Accupahse Equipment is that expensive ?
I’ve you’ve got an omega speedmaster mark 2 1969 and a newer sea master. Love em both but the vintage one is the bomb. Accuphase is awesome stuff and better than luxman imo. Luxman not exactly cheap though. The new 509x integrated is 8500.00. Btw ... 
Customer Service Experience with REL
It’s par for the course. I hear it everyday from subcontractors. It’s never anyone’s fault. Such a shame we live in a world where no one can accept responsibility. I’m going to start recording face to face meetings  from now on. Glad you went with... 
Bob Carver new tune expected
Garbage for sure. I had a carver CD player with a digital time lense (marketing gimmick). What a hunk of junk. In a lighter note- I just picked up a muse 100 amp with a muse 3 preamp for a steal. Today was a good day!
