Basic surge protection with some noise filtering without strangling the amplifier?
My neighbors are less interesting that yours sound, @amtprod !  I don’t really know if my building (16 stories, 61 units built in 2007, urban downtown) has voltage issues, but we’ve never noticed any visible fluctuations. Fortunately for me, both... 
Diving into Power... Cable recs for my system and ears....?
@mclinnguy, If you want to install NM sheathed cable, (Romex Trade Name), you should use 2 conductor with ground, not 3 conductor with ground. Better. than 2 wire with ground Romex cable. Two conductor plus 1 ground MC (Metal Clad) is a good ch...

Potential noise source?
Is it possible that such a device could generate noise on AC lines I have never read any complaints that it can/does.  Like any electrical device you get what you pay for. There are cheap GFCI outlets with cheap contacts that don’t have good f... 
Anyone use a 5687 with adapter in place of a 6922/6DJ8/7308/6N23P?
Gary Dodd’s preamp? You might want to try and speak to someone, tech support if possible, before trying the 5687 tubes in the preamp.  thinking the circuit controls how much voltage gets to the tubes, not the voltage of the power supply...essent... 
Anyone use a 5687 with adapter in place of a 6922/6DJ8/7308/6N23P?
How many of 5687 tubes is used in the equipment. Just one? You could increase the AH rating of the battery.  The 5687 draws over twice the heater amps as the 6922 tube. Did you read the part where it says the glass envelope of the 5687 runs hot...

IEC 15 to IEC 15 PC?
I assume the power cord you need has a 15 amp male prong IEC connector on one end (plugs into supply power unit) and and a 15 amp female IEC connector that connects to a piece of audio equipment. Would this adapter work for use of a regular 15 am... 
What wire to use instead of Romex
@roccity said: Great idea to use a single pole tandem breaker. Placing it in the top panel also saves me a couple of feet of run. I would also recommend moving the 1 pole 15 amp breaker over to the space on the left next to the 2 pole 100 amp ... 
What wire to use instead of Romex
@roccity said: I had an electrician come out the other day who said that the two side-by-side spots in my bottom panel would be on the same phase but couldn’t explain to me how he knew that, so that didn’t inspire confidence.  They are not on ... 
Shielded Speaker Wire 12AWG
