AC Power
@jea48 I personally replaced all the receptacles in my house with good quality (albeit not audio quality) Leviton receptacles and attached all wires with the screw connections. The original install did use the stab, and I discovered during my inst...

@ghdprentice Thanks! Good recommendation.   
AC Power
@erik_squires Thanks! That was the unit I thought you were recommending. It would save space & money while providing good voltage regulation, while cleaning power. It does not have additional amp RMS reserves like the reference model. Not sure... 
AC Power
@erik_squires Thanks for your thoughts. My amp is just 5W class A before it changes to A/B. I believe the Furman model I selected is their top model & has the features you recommend… but maybe not. Your link goes to a cross Atlantic yacht trip...

@carlsbad2 Thanks for your thoughts. A regenerator is not in my future if for no other reason than space.  On a side note, my nephew graduated with honors from a very well respected engineering school and is currently a distinguished engineer. Not... 
Qutest LPS upgrade
@plain_fan That was one of my migration paths. Bluesound N130 was my first streamer running standalone then running to a Schiit MM2. The MM2 was a significant upgrade to the Node internal DAC & the Qutest a significant upgrade from the MM2. ... 
Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ?
From What Hi Fi also, a more down to earth, yet still expensive turntable list. “Best high-end record players 2025: ultimate premium turntables tested by experts”.  https://www.whathifi.com/best-buys/best-high-end-record-players-ultimate-premium-t...

Qutest LPS upgrade
@lanx0003 I am not sure why I have such a profound improvement… but it is real. I am ordering the Ultra today. @toronto416 Given the significant improvement, I can only surmise they would prefer me to upgrade to a TT2 & you to a Dave vs buy a... 
Qutest LPS upgrade
@lanx0003  Just the base LPS. Do you recommend the Ultra upgrade? Thanks!  
Streamer, no DAC please?

The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines.
@analog_aficionado Outstanding post (the long one). Helps very much to understand and reconcile the differences between ASR results & listening. Thanks! I am in the camp that says ASR is a single source of information just like every other re... 
The best opening act you've ever seen & heard?
Several great concerts! Mine are: Johnny Winter opening for Rod Stewart & the Faces opening for 3 Dog Night. 1969 Olympia in Detroit. My first major concert! Another for Stevie Wonder opening for the Stones. They jammed together at the end. ... 
What do the statistics say about the age of Audiophiles and the replacement rate?
My local store, Audio Advice stated recently that the vast majority of sales are home theater, not high end audio. Audio Advice has big beautiful stores in Raleigh & Charlotte & and a large online presence. The majority of HT sales vs audi... 
DAC break-in question
