Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets
I’ve use the audioquest and it’s seems very well made, also comes with silver spades for your ground. I also use the Shunyata and can highly recommended that as well. One feature the shunyata has is the ability to grip the plug without it sagging ...

Is there Tannoy Magic / Should I buy a pair of Tannoys as "accessory" speaker?
+1 @veerossi regarding the imaging and soundstage, you can literally walk around the room.  I’d also add exceptional bass and efficiency to what I love about my Tannoy Churchill’s, no sub needed!  They can be both intimate sounding when desired, a...

Great Interview-
+1 @hilde45 As audiophiles, “live” is not what we are after. A lot of people throw that term around when describing high end audio but in reality it’s about getting the “truthfulness” of the recording and how different components bring that out; a...
