| How To Keep Cat Off Stereo Equipment? Re-home the cat. yep. When my last pet kick the bucket i was done. Had a buddy going through same thing. Had these plexiglass contraptions around his gear. What a pain to listen to his system. When cat shuffled of to big sky he called it on pe... | |
| How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables? I had an extender and didnt have much success with it. Went to a mesh setup and solved most of my dropout problems but hard to tell if it made an SQ difference cause I made several other changes that improved my SQ. But I believe it has a roll. My... | |

| Rogue Audio. Reliability issues? Anyone? I have had an RP-1 for years. At about 2 years had to replace stock tubes. Then about 5 years had to send it in and have the front control panel board replaced as volume control went wonky. Proly $300 total. They turned it around promptly. s... | |
