Good grief. Half a page basically telling the guy if the electrician is licensed and follows code it's a basic wire job any apprentice could do. Like I said tell the electrician what you want why you want it and leave him or her to it.  
Good Entry-Level DAC

Articles You Feel Should be Shared
You find interesting articles. I used to be enamored with the bling for lack of a better word of high priced gear and always swore it sounded better. I started questioning this notion with the onset of crazy priced cables. Another thing was unbekn...

OK, it just means the blades are different on the plug. The two flat blades will be perpendicular instead of parallel. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Legrand-20-Amp-125-Volt-Straight-Plug-PS5366XCCV4/100189052

Let Roon upsample vs let Lumin T2 do the work

Yes you can run a 15 amp power conditioner on a 20 amp circuit. You're not suppose to run 20 amp on 15 amp circuits. I'm not sure what you're talking about with future 20 amp options on an amp. Do you mean 240 volt instead of 120 volt?
