Your advice on a good cable

Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms?
Every time a question like this comes up it reminds me what a good decision I made way back in the 1970’s to avoid hard to drive speakers with low sensitivity. It just makes life so much easier. Doesn’t hurt that every hard to drive low sensitivit...

pragmasi- Can someone explain what ’dirty power’ sounds like. Yes but its better if you hear it for yourself. Its easy. Get your system all nice and warmed up some night and listen to your favorite music. Then pause, go out to your breaker box an... 
Why the truth is not in them ??

Fuse upgrade in Ayon triton III gen 4
Synergistic Blue and Orange, both are excellent. Blue if you want to save a few bucks. Orange is similar only a little deeper, smoother, more refined.  
What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby?
Actually now that I think about it the most costly mistake I made was CD. It came out right after college when I was broke and moving around and storing my Technics and records. Bought into Perfect Sound Forever. Only years later when I dug it out... 
Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms?
