| Do I NEVER shut it off…? Each on of my amps running all year costs less than their idle Prius charger hanging on the wall costs them for one month.An idle Prius charger draws less than two Watts. Your box fan uses a lot more power than that, let alone any amp that needs t... | |

| Time for new Categories-This is directed to you Audiogon I think the categories that Audiogon currently has seem just about right. Too few, and you end up skipping over too many threads you aren't interested in and missing ones you might have enjoyed reading or contributing to. Too many and you waste a ... | |

| SonicTransporter i9 Optical Yes, I'm familiar with the product and would be using it to run Roon core. I'd also like to experiment with HQPlayer, but I don't really have a feel for what this brings to the table, and whether the benefits are worth it given the rest of my syst... | |

I don't know whether there are trademarks on the name though, which could survive well past... | |

| How to find the min and max bending radius of a cable. There are a lot of factors that determine this other than outside diameter. Contact the vendors. | |
| Seeking advice on power conditioners/regenerators My power is a bit noisy because I have a solar system and the invertor doesn't generate the cleanest power. I found that my PS Audio regenerator helped a lot to reduce noise and resulted in a blacker background, better low level detail, and slight... | |
