Whole House Surge Absorber.
EP-2050 has great reviews but it is a little on expensive side.

Possible. I'm open minded, adventurous and enjoy experimenting Great attitude - hobby should be fun. 
Does AC Power Cord to Linear Power Supply matter?
In addition to high frequency noise produced by LPS there is 120Hz component very difficult to filter out. In addition LPS in amplifiers is almost always unregulated (line and load). Recently quiet switchers operating at much higher frequencies ap...

Dragon1952 - nobody says it is impossible. We're just trying to be intelligent about it and find the reason.Believing any nonsense can bring such things like better highs upstairs or better bass in the basement. I've read serious gear review that ... 
Does AC Power Cord to Linear Power Supply matter?
Linear Power Supply is a noisy switcher that operates at 120Hz. Current from mains is drawn in narrow spikes of high amplitude. Cable should have enough frequency response to handle it and to shield it from radiating out. 
Ethernet Cables
Joecasey, perhaps shielding on you AQ is better. How about digital cables? Transmission over S/Pdif is sensitive to jitter while Ethernet is not. 
Ethernet Cables
Joecasey, you're right - one computer CAN sound better than the other but it is not related to speed (or amount of RAM) but to amount of electrical noise produced. Whether computer can or cannot keep up does not change the sound because timing is ... 
Ethernet Cables
New computer with faster CPU and memory can do more harm than good with Ethernet connection, often producing more electrical noise. Speed doesn't make any difference as long as it is adequate (pretty much any computer) since timing is irrelevant w... 
Ethernet Cables
Ethernet cable might affect sound indirectly by capacitive or electromagnetic coupling of electrical noise to audio system. Other than that Ethernet cable transfers data and not the music. Data is transferred in packets (not in the real time). Tim... 
Everything Looks Like Shot on Video
It depends on TV - on my Samsung it is in the Menu -> Picture -> Picture Options -> Motion Plus -> CustomTwo sliders 0-10 allow for Blur reduction and Judder reduction. I have them at 5, 5 but perhaps lowering judder reduction to 4 or ... 
Speaker Improvement Advance Design Better Upgrade
Hyperion Sound uses membranes without suspension (spiderweb) - reducing moving mass and improving linearity. Midrange driver (6.5") uses ferrofluid for suspension. 
Everything Looks Like Shot on Video
It is called "Soap Opera Effect" and is caused by higher frame rate. Films are mostly made using "magical" 24 frames/s. I can set my Samsung LED TV to max frame rate of 240Hz and get the same effect. It is possible that when reconnecting you used ... 
The Power of Assumptions
Zd542, people tend do "believe" more when they spend money. I remember story about two groups of people given placebo pill that supposed to help with something they suffered from. The only difference was that one group got it for free while the ot... 
What happen??
Furman's protection doesn't wear out and it doesn't have internal components that age. You can buy used one if you find a very good deal. One bank of outputs on my Furman are "high current" (still filtered) intended for power amp or sub. I don't h... 
The Power of Assumptions
Onhwy61, Sure, if you hear music in your head then audio system would even interfere. I'm just suggesting that improvement (perhaps you missed this word in my post) real or not is still a perceived improvement.
