| Why Power Cables Affect Sound I agree with the statement " I feel a well shielded power cable is more than adequate" However Geoff would have you strip off that pesky shielding to free the music hidden inside the (directional) cable. | |

Hope I don't get into hot water here for the link.https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-VHC-1-SPDT-Vacuum-Relay-26-VDC-for-RF-Switching/390332847631?hash=item5...These could be triggered by a conventional circuit.

| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Right. I can see how removing the shielding from your breaker panel by opening the door can really help. Not to mention the building codes you're violating........ | |
| Magnavox or RCA tube amp I would head over to diyaudio.com and post the question. If it's been done they've done it. Tons of good info and and some great minds there. | |
| Brilliant Pebbles, a new tweak, cheaper than high end cables. If your listening room consisted of a pebble encrusted cave you'd be set. | |
