If the group buy train still is available, can I hop on and take 2 also?

Not sure if there should be any delay, as mine start up right away from cold also.

Not sure if this is the "best", but I have used this switch with this fuse drawer in two of my power supplies. I changed to this switch with separate IEC entry module in my latest power supplies.

Try going with one with minimum of 350W. If this is the only application you plan on using a solder pot for, I would suggest try other method first. It will be an investment not seeing much return especially if you add the solder bar on top.

The coating on the bare copper wire can either be enamel or polyvinyl formal resin, to remove it, pending on the coating type, it will likely dissolve with acetone, but the fumes are pretty bad. Scraping with an Xacto blade or sanding with 80 to 240 grade sandpaper works pretty well also. If you have access to a solder pot, dipping the tip of the wires into the pot not only will remove the coating, it will also tinned the wire as well. There are other tricks that will also work, but try the above first and see if you can get it to work.

Is this the rectifier PCB or some other PCB?

This is the first time I got the error message below, any idea how to clear this error in HQPe? The Internet connection is good using everything else, just cannot play HQPe. No internet access, please check your network!

Correct.

Did you measure your heart rate when power on the unit? 😋

Just curious, what happened if you don't do upsampling with HQPlayer? Do you still have dropouts?

You can have 3 different ways to connect primary for 120VAC. Connect them separately (Brown and Orange or Blue and Green) or connect them in parallel. Connecting primary in parallel will half the input load current through each primary winding, but not sure if there is any other benefits. Based on the information available from Taiko website, "Build-in thermo switch (TS 130 °C) on primary 1", I connect Brown and Orange as primary to utilize the build-in thermo switch and not using the Blue and Green pair. Btw, there is no mention of their build-in thermo switch is a soft start with thermo protection, you might want to have a confirmation from Taiko before removing the Soft Start module.

I believe changing parameters in Bios will not change fingerprint, as long as not using Bios to enable/disable hardware, such as enable/disable WiFi, Bluetooth, USB ports...etc.

Good to know changing CPU will not change the fingerprint. Have you try different CPU frequency settings such as over clocking / under clocking? I assume this will not change the fingerprint.

That looks good and it appears you have them back in stock again.

Great, I can foresee how useful this is. Is it possible to show a picture of the USB dongle? Meanwhile, once the USB dongle is ordered, will you be issuing a new key file?
