| Keep light equipment from tipping up from cable weight? I misunderstood your issue - thought you were talking about loose plugs. I use lead bricks and spray paint them to my color "scheme." Added benefit is that with sufficient mass the component sounds quieter. | |
| Keep light equipment from tipping up from cable weight? Fatten the plug with self fusing silicone tape. It gives a grip effect similar to the Shunyata plug shims that come with their cables. https://www.amazon.com/Nashua-1541204-Stretch-Self-Fusing-Silicone/dp/B089B7NKVK/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2TJQKWYNVRWGZ&... | |

| You're not a true audiophile unless... @abnerjack It's subtle and not worth lingering on too much, but the subject of subliminal "triggers" can be fascinating. My post was intended to be more of an "aside" than some grand revelation. | |

| Is There Some Problem With Shunyata's Everest Power Conditioner I bought my old Hydra 4's (with the Trident Defense) used on Ebay about 5 years ago. Current prices are the same as when I bought mine - about $900.00. They can come in very handy especially when the local grid is sagging. They are also a handy pl... | |
| No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse? A word to chronic skeptics of everything at all - please come up with some better and less cliche snark. We need better entertainment. | |
| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? I am now on day four of the Audio Magic Masterpiece M2 Fuse. I don't have a streamer - just a one disc at a time CD transport - so I have been unable to give it a 3 weeks of constant playing style burn-in, but this fuse has been enlightening. A mo... | |
