My Gray was an old model from 2008. The Gray had chokes. Chokes compress dynamics I’ve been told.
When used in series, possibly, but that’s now how RG’s chokes worked. They are in parallel.
PS - You should open up your Uber Buss. I’m sure you are going to find a whole bunch of chokes and coils if it does anything at all. 😁
Caelin Gabriel of Shunyata advises the whole house surge suppressor at the breaker box, and no suppressor at the equipment rack and Garth Powell of Audioquest feels strongly for the opposite due to potential RF noise.
Facts, the National Electric Code requires whole house surge protectors since 2020 AND recommends point of use surge protection devices for sensitive equipment.
The first post explains why they recommend both.
While the NEC requires whole house surge protection, it does not force you to use a surge protector for your stereo or TV. That part is up to you, but I’ve explained why the two are complementary as opposed to exclusive.
Also, anyone who says that a whole house protector could cause RF noise is full of it.
