The Physics of Electricity
Llanger - I'm afraid you won't find an answer here. It was asked many time before and every time cable nay-sayers jump in while audiophiles who actually own and enjoy better quality cables are wise enough to stay away. 
The Physics of Electricity
This must be "loaded" question since I cannot imagine that you haven't checked "Cable Theory" at one of most popular makers - like this one on Audioquest site:http://www.audioquest.com/pdfs/aq_cable_theory.pdf 
Benchmark dac - why such diverging opinions?

How Much Difference Does a More Powerful Amp Make?
Maril555 - Imagine 100W class AB transistor monoblock that dissipates 100W of continuous power into heatsink while driven with the sinewave test signal. Now, get rid of this large expensive heatsink and replace it with 25W heatsink and use saved m... 
How Much Difference Does a More Powerful Amp Make?
Amp rated at lower continuous power might have higher momentary power. Average power needed for music is only few percent of peak power unless you listen to sinewaves. Power specifications give only general guidance but all depends on particular a... 
How Much Difference Does a More Powerful Amp Make?
According to perceived loudness calculationk^(1/3.5) where k is ratio of powersyour loudness will increase by 15.7%. 
Benchmark dac - why such diverging opinions?
"you can't handle the truth!" That's very accurate observation. One person even expressed opinion that Benchmark is too resolving making each instrument sound independently while he got used to all instruments mushed together. My experience was si... 
Benchmark dac - why such diverging opinions?
"Fact is though, on A'gon it seems that most comments about the Benchmark DAC's have been negative."Perhaps because most of people seek very warm sounding gear. Let see what Benchmark's Technical Director John Siau said about it:"We designed the D... 
Benchmark dac - why such diverging opinions?
"If you had a very "warm" sounding system; high efficiency horns, tube pre and SET amp, the brightness might mellow"None of the above and no brightness. Extended highs and very clean natural sibilants. Benchmark was purposely designed to sound neu...

Surge Suppression vrs. Lighting and Power Spikes
Jea48 - one of our customers returns heavy current transients of vector drives to building frame. It works much better for them than ground rods they had before, because earth had tendency to be dry and constant watering them was a big hassle. Unf... 
Surge Suppression vrs. Lighting and Power Spikes
Jea48 - I'm not sure. I think that if house has already grounding rod they allow to use jumper but if it doesn't then ground rod need to be placed. There used to be a lot of antennas around (none grounded) replaced last years by cable or satellite... 
Surge Suppression vrs. Lighting and Power Spikes
Gbart - other than crossing over gaps lightning can create big voltage differential between earth ground and neutral by hitting ground near the house. 
Surge Suppression vrs. Lighting and Power Spikes
Jeff_jones,You can find confirmation on static built-up here:http://www.dvb-brasil.org/how-to-ground-tv-antenna/My antenna isn't grounded since I'm lazy but it is required by law (NEC). In case of lightning damage insurance won't pay me a penny. P...
