| Which one would you buy Sorry that I threw my HF-81 out (literally from a 3rd floor window into a dumpster). | |
| Just got a new power amp @atmasphere I'd put it the other way 'round. We audiophiles are very used to hearing interconnect cable differences. But recording engineers, who use balanced lines in a studio, are not. When the balanced line system is set up properly (as usua... | |
| Audio Grade Ethernet Cable @tomrk I completely agree. Stock CATx is suitable and optimal as long as is made correctly. Boutique shops cannot do it but industrial sources can. I suggested BlueJeans for preterminated cables because they identify their sources. | |
| Audio Grade Ethernet Cable @goofyfoot The easiest and most reliable source for such cables is BlueJeans: https://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/data-cables/index.htm | |

| Listening evaluation for Environmental Potentials panel/breaker products? I had their devices in my home for years. I used them for safety and nothing was ever destroyed by a power problem and line noise was never an issue. So, before/after, no difference. | |
| Lyngdorf processor and power amp. How about a Lyngdorf? MXA-8400! | |
| gain staging and attenuation A good rule of thumb is to use gain early in the signal path to avoid amplifying noise at later stages. | |
| Shakti Stone I have had one for decades. Initially, I used it on top panels that had been unscrewed but kept in place for quick internal access. The Shakti did a decent job of securing/damping those panels. Since then, I have not been able to find an applica... |
