Because what is a wall wart, anyway? Did you ever stop to ask yourself that question? A wall wart i... | |

| Shielded or unshielded power cables for class-D monoblocks? Shielded, and in a separate zone. You want to keep the EMI/RFI from radiating out of the amps and into the other devices.

| Polarity While I appreciate the attempt to get things right, I'm afraid that like most people, I'm completely insensitive to recording polarity. | |
| A new type of driver I think we covered them in a previous thread on bending-wave transducers. Fun stuff. | |
| Mundorf Silver Caps Um, happy to see all the Mundorf fandom, but I'm going to take a contrarian view. I've always found the Mundorf Supreme's over saturated with color. Not sibilant, but cool, and colorful. I prefer Clarity CMR for these reasons. I find them less eup... |
