Denarips and Vinshine split
I agree with the positive comments for Alvin.  I've ordered a couple of things him and always pleased with service and support.  I am pleased with my T2 but if it comes time to upgrade I will probably look to him first before I go to Denafrips.

@sbayne, Thanks I don't frequent AliExpress but that helps to understand the problem for sure. Are these copies of their products or secondary sales?    
Denarips and Vinshine split
I just got the email from Vinshine and it is a cause for concern.  I don't totally understand the issue with the grey market.  I bought my T2 from The Music Room which is a reputable online market for used equipment. I wonder if they consider that...

The Music Room
Very pleased with my transaction with them.  I sold them my Rogue Sphinx V3 and bought a used Denafrips Terminator II. Very friendly to deal with and I felt the prices on both sides of the transaction were fair.  
Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it?
+1 on the LHY upgrade.  I did the same on my N130, very pleased with the results.  I have now have the N1130 feeding a Denafrips Terminator II DAC which says a lot for the company.

Neat "Tweaks" to improve the SQ of your streamed music!!!
Here is the setup I got off of Amazon, two transceivers and a cable.    
Dedicated 20 amp circuit. 10/2 or 10/3?
@mmenasci  Just to make sure I'm clear on what you mean regarding having all the circuits on the same "side".  The panel should have a diagram of how the circuits are connected.  The power from each 120 volt leg coming in is distributed using eve... 
Neat "Tweaks" to improve the SQ of your streamed music!!!
One of the best tweaks I did for my system is to replace the 50 foot Cat 6 ethernet run from my router to my streamer with an optical run.  What a difference!
