| If you want to use omni's you need a lot of room. shoe-box sized room- well treated. Well, that's kind of the same thing I was meaning. I meant that omnis need to have as few early reflections as possible, either a big room, so they are far from rear and side wall,s or the room needs to be wel... | |
| Keep noise creators outside your clean power zone Actually, I heard Azerbaijan was a hotbed of jazz!They recently held the annual Baku Jazz Jamboree. That completely assuages my guilt! | |
| Keep noise creators outside your clean power zone @tomic601 Might have been. Honestly the amp though did not hold up. The 2 Parasound A21s I had were a lot better. That's the other thing, as much as I got rid of, I still had an Oppo BD player, 2 Parasound A21s and a plethora of Class D amps, Foca... | |
| Keep noise creators outside your clean power zone Man, when I lived in San Francisco I sold all my gear in bulk. Sumo pre/amp, Tandberg pre/amp, Theta Casanova.

| Adding shielding to existing cables Lemming,My "no" was to the extreme level of visually unappealing hackery here. I mean, sure, add a shield and see where grounding it works best for you if that’s what you want to do.From a "looks nice" and "doesn’t look like a mad scientists creat... | |
| Adding shielding to existing cables Um, no, my friend. No...Just build them with the right construction to begin with. Use Belden balanced wires with foil shield and inexpensive RCA jacks first, see if that fixes your problem. | |

| Shielded or unshielded power cables for class-D monoblocks? I have to say I had horrible luck with Furman locking bananas and have never ever used their products again. |
