Shorting plugs
Just for any "outs" as they warn of . The danger resides in the outer part of the shorting cap touching the metal chassis in any manner should an "out" send a signal. Who’d want that to happen? All the best, Nonoise  
Shorting plugs
You can get RCA shorting plugs here. And you can get XLR shorting plugs here. No need to pay sky high prices for Cardas or Telos. Just remember to remove the center pin of the RCA shorting plug on any output (like Pre Amp out, Rec out, Tape out)... 
How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound?
@grislybutter Dude, don't blow my cover.... 😺  
How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound?
I was going to disagree with the $10K to $15k as a starting point to getting great sound until I added up what makes up my system and it's north of $10K. Being as picky as I've become to what I'll settle for, that's a very reasonable starting poin...

@grislybutter Sorry to rock the boat but it could be seen as I just don't like their music.  All the best, Nonoise

Great choices one and all. Allow me to go in another direction and say I don't want to hear anything from Ted Nugent or Kid Rock. All the best, Nonoise  
Ebay selling my missing amplifier
@ghasley  No biggie. I can see the frustration of those waiting and wanting to help and/or know the results. I was just in a snarky mood after my morning walk. 😄 All the best, Nonoise

Vibration Control

Vibration Control
@donavabdear  Was the gear you placed in violently shaking environments off the shelf gear from some audio saloon or Best Buy or were they built to spec to withstand the event? Were there brands that performed better than others? I remember when ...

@jonwolfpell My reply was a bit out of frustration as any and all responses you gave were just versions of your opening statement, making me wonder if you were a fan of Amir. All the best, Nonoise

I can believe it never made it out of country. I knew someone, back in the day, who had an arrangement with some RoadWay truck drivers who'd stop by his house and let him peruse the contents and take what he wanted in exchange for drugs for the dr... 
Vibration Control
What's the harm in trying something that has a return policy? Are you afraid you might hear differences but being unable to measure it, you'll have a nervous breakdown? If this truly can happen, think about the effects it might have on the elect... 
Vibration Control
A long time ago during a heated discussion along this line, a member who was a physicist, told of how they measured lots of vibrations in concrete (or some other super dense material). This was in an isolated room, away from outside influences and...
