You're welcome. Perfecto!

That's correct. I went with off the shelf 10AWG stranded, green insulation electrical wire. Only use the ground rod in your basement if it is not connected as an earth ground for your main AC electrical panel. Never connect a GroundMaster to the ground rod or ground rod array that's used for...

You're welcome.

GroundMaster & RouteMaster If you are using only one GroundMaster or GroundMaster-City with a RouteMaster, the GroundMaster or City is plugged into the RouteMaster, not the 136, 156 or 1512.

In my main stereo, I have a ground rod array connected to two GroundMasters; one to the green plug on the 156 and the other to the RouteMaster. The same thing can be done with GroundMaster-City units if a ground rod or ground rod array is not practical as it the case my two other stereo rooms...

The best use of Puritan products is as a complete system; 136 or 156/GroundMaster or City/RouteMaster. I have done so with several stereos and a recording studio. IMHO, the RouteMaster is as important as the GroundMaster or City.

Audiophile myth #666: All SMPSs are inferior to linear power supplies.

Silly audiophile myth #420: All opamps and/or all circuits designed with op amps can't sound as good as a discrete circuit.

It's necessary for all solid state gear to be left on 24/7, especially digital, to sound it's best unless you are traveling. It will last longer as well especially if you have a good surge suppression/conditioning unit in your main panel like this: Whole House Surge/Conditioning/Waveform Correction

This appears to be a well designed linear supply that will work over a range of voltages (make adjustments with internal pot) and is reasonably priced. Linear Power Supply

Excellent DAC, great value. At the AZ AV Club DAC-It-Out shootout it beat both the Chord Electronics Qutest and Schiit Yagdrassil.

As it's audible, t's either there or it isn't. If you hear background noise with volume turned up, no LP playing, you unplug the Qutest wall wart and the noise is decreased or, in my case, goes away completely, then you'll know. There can also be inaudible, high frequency noise injected back...

The main problem with the stock power supply is not so much the resulting sound quality of the Qutest but the amount of noise it injects back into your AC distribution. That noise is clearly audible when playing LPs. Various power conditioning/filtering/isolation schemes didn't help. Adding a...
