| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle People who don't think the receptacle s make a difference will think I sm out in LA LA land when I say I changed the wire feed into my home from the city junction box to my panel from aluminum to copper. That was also a big difference not as ... | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle @mlapenta yes it is shocking the difference it makes. I ran a group of individual 20 amp circuits with the furutech plugs. All the same.length wire and all coming from the same.leg of the box. I look now and likely should have gotten hifi ... | |

| Advice? Less than $4k, solid state preamp, neutral to gentle Well personally I like the Ayre k1xe better than the newer ones and you should find one within your budget. If you find a k1 it can be brought up to the ce standard. The k3 is also nice but it is a step.down but still very good. If you like Ay... | |
