| To Power Condition or not? I would recommend 2- 20 amp dedicated circuits for the amps and 1- 20 amp dedicated circuit for your front-end components. As for wall outlets, I highly recommend PS Audio PowerPort duplex outlets. They are $49.95 retail, cheaper if you check out ... | |

| What CDP or DAC would you buy with $1,000? If you want music I would suggest a Muse Model Two Plus DAC. If you want a "Hi-Fi" sound look elsewhere. | |

| Warm, Deep Stage, S.S Dual Mono Amps ? The new Parasound Halo series JC1 monoblocks by John Curl are very nice, quiet, dynamic, detailed and very "non Hi-Fi" sounding. | |
