Do you want to code? Or do you want to sound good? 
Isolated ground for 20 amp
Pains me to see so many spending so much for so little. Do not add a panel. Total waste of time and money. Run one line. Do a search. Read my comments. Including the ones with this link where you will want to pay special attention to what Michael ... 
The Doug Macleod appreciation thread

How do you know what room treatments to use?
Someone not knowing that about acoustic dont know really his own audio system ....i know mine.....My point exactly. Unfortunately involves a lot of hard work. Much easier to buy something, push a button, pay for a readout, trust authority (who rea... 
review my list please
If you really do care about music then you really do owe it to yourself to go and compare. Specifically, you need to go and listen and compare what your money will buy you in a good stereo integrated amp, compared to whatever it will buy with surr...

How was the Breaking Bad soundtrack? Which season? 
Anti skate question for Rega P8/RB 880 arm
lewm nailed it, and it was a pleasure to read too. About the only thing I might add is the L or R channel distortion people hear is anti-skate being off to a gross degree. Its possible to reach a level where much smaller errors become noticeable. ... 
Network expander and AC quality
Yes the RFI is on the line and yes it will sound better without, but its not like you think. It can be reduced with a transformer. The way a transformer works, the field in the primary induces a current in the secondary and because of the physics ... 
Do I really need to replace avr with an av processor?
What you are talking about will indeed be an improvement. But not as much as completely bypassing the avr. Because the sad fact of the matter is there is nothing you can buy worse for sound quality than a avr. Even running the signal through it li...
