Not a proper dump but here’s some stuff!
Going to launch these for the D10 balanced next month I think, (in our normal colorways tho)
I took my first real vacation since HAC started. Ruined this Fiio X5 while there too : (

I plan to drive a ground rod at this greenhouse and bond it to the neutral buss on the electric panel as well as to the extruded aluminum frame of the greenhouse.
- I believe most of the Sparkies will state that the Neutral needs to be the same size as the 10ga wires. Down sizing a Neutral is usually because there are 240v loads in the building.
- I think the Sparkies will treat this as a Building and want the Neutral and the Ground Bus bars isolated from each other thus requiring 2 Ground Rods not 1.
- I do not foresee a problem with running the Conduit up inside the Structure.
In conclusion then requiring pulling a 4th Wire (Green) as a Ground Conductor back to the Source. This Wire could probably be 12ga?
Since I am NOT qualified in any regard to work on mains systems, I would strongly recommend you have a certified sparki help you on this.

i am not an electrician. lets get that outa the way. you want the ground to be able to handle the amount of load going to it. otherwise it will, and i don’t know what the terminology properly is, get to hot and melt insulation/potentially start fires.
i would highly recommend using the same gauge as the leads. even with 2 different grounds, it doesnt not mean they will split the load. the whole load could go to that 1 wire you want to make a lesser gauge, thereby potentially over charging it and possibly causing a fire.
Been a little bit since a picture dump. Some neat stuff here since we had to make a bunch of things and take pictures to support the new site updates I talked about here. TL;DR we also finally made a discount code for HiFiGuides Members: HFG22 
Lots more in the bank but I’ll stop here. It’s probably already too much.

We can’t let the thread die!! Here’s some more various HAC BS from the last few months:
My personal set that I rarely get to use : (
Dabbling / prepping a premium line with silver cable / connectors etc.
Budget stuff always
Daily Drivers
We can make balanced cables for HD560S, 598 599 etc. and NDH20 / 30 too evidently…
These retro handhelds have become a problem for me
Final message regarding holiday orders using a picture of a pal wearing the ridiculous looking R9 headphones:
