| A Sanely Priced Power Conditioner That Actually Works - OnFilter PDU A link like this would have been nice. https://www.onfilter.com/filtered-pdu And this site put an ad over the right side of your chart that moved with it and could not be eliminated. | |

| Which has a greater influence on sound quality, the amp or the preamp? Signal source. Garbage In, Garbage Out. | |
| Speaker Slip Covers In the late 60s my JBL Dorian S12s needed protection from our cat. That was the days of clear vinyl sofa protectors. Ask your grandmother. 😊 I went to a local slipcover maker and had them make 2 flat bottom bags whose inside dimensions were just ... | |
| Do you past equipment appear in your dreams? I still have my past equipment. 😊 | |
