Can engineered floors be re-sanded?

The thicker the wear layer, the more the floors may be re-finished. Authentic Pine Floors are 4mm so their wear layer is similar to that of a solid wood floor and can be re-finished 2 to 3 times. However, with Authentic Oil Finish??? maintained properly, the floors should never need refinishing.

What's all this about floating ground, anyway?

Empeg: FAQ
The empeg has a lot of fast digital signals which could bleed over onto the audio stage. One way to provide good isolation from this is to use a "floating ground" whereby the audio ground is completely isolated from the digital and chassis ground. This provides good noise isolation inside the player, but an audio circuit must be grounded somewhere, and most amplifiers are also floating ground - therefore we provide cables to ground at the amplifier end.
