| Need a solid surge protector that’s non-current limiting. My bad, I get what you’re saying now. You need a power strip with surge protection. Many good ones out there, Brickwall comes to mind. I have a Furman that works just fine but I will defer to others on that request. | |
| Need a solid surge protector that’s non-current limiting. @aj523 It protects every appliance and component in the house. Doesn’t involve any current limiting of those components. | |
| Need a solid surge protector that’s non-current limiting. Better to get a whole house surge protector that connects directly to your breaker box. This will avoid the protector from being in series with your components’ power line. | |
| Cayin, Line Magnetic, and Willsenton with 805 Feedback I should also add that the Cayin A88T is the quietest tube product I have ever encountered, that goes for amps and preamps alike. Thing was dead, dead quiet. Can’t even say that about some solid state preamps I’ve owned. | |
| What happened to Yamaha electronics? The current crop of Yamaha HiFi components are quite good, easily competitive with alternative options in their respective price classes. The A-S2200 and 2100 are a couple of the best sounding integrateds I have heard regardless of price. Their ... | |
| Cayin, Line Magnetic, and Willsenton with 805 Feedback Can’t speak for LM or Willsenton, but Cayins are indeed excellent. In fact I wouldn’t hesitate to pit Cayin performance against the likes of VAC and Audio Research. I had an original Cayin A88T that was built in 2006. I was at least its second o... | |
| Darko Audio: Let's End the Cost Videos I can’t comprehend how anyone likes Darko’s personality. But then he probably wouldn’t like me either. Oh well, horses of course. | |

| Looking for a new power amp - choosing between T + A, Atoll, Rogue Your Audible Illusions preamp is stellar and definitely worthy of your speakers. I would go for the Stereo 100 Dark over the DragoN. I really like Rogue’s full tube products but never been impressed by their hybrids. Personally, I would probabl... | |
| Wool Felt Footers? I have been using 1” diameter felt furniture slides/protectors between my speakers and Sound Anchor stands for the last few years. I prefer them to the Sorbothane dots that came with the stands. I have tried several other materials but the cheap f... | |
| Looking for Solid Core Speaker cables Trying some Duelund DCA cable might change your mind on the merits of solid core. There is good reason many use it as internal speaker wire. Run the stuff bare and it will complete with far costlier alternatives. I am convinced there is something ... | |
| Interim SS Amp - Likely Candidates? I had a really bad experience with Odyssey Audio honoring their satisfaction guarantee, When the guy learned I wanted to return the item he became belligerent and it turned out to be the worst experience I’ve had in my 20 years of purchasing many ... | |
