MICHI 8 Amp(s)
The other day I had a speaker cable short and instead of the Michi 8 blowing the fuse, the Michi 8 shut down. After the culprit was removed the unit came back online. Marvelous protection circuitry! ozzy

A $250 Power Conditioner?
questforhifi, I’m not knowledgeable how it is constructed, but it DOES improve the audio and video. And isn’t that what this forum and hobby is about, to share info? You probably should actually try one and then comment. There is a money back gu... 
Eliminated my preamp with amazing results
When I purchased my Lumin X1 a few years back, I started going direct to my mono blocks. And I totally agree, once I experienced music without the preamp in the chain I could never go back. ozzy

Aardvark Ethernet noise isolator
Well, I just got the iFi ethernet filter. First impression, it does seem to do more than the much more expensive Aardvark, but not sure if it is a keeper. Right now, it sounds like the music moved up a bit in frequency response. There does seem ... 
loose IEC power cord connection?

A little deeper on amp power please....
Best analogy I can think of is: Think of it as a high-power race car that can go 200 miles an hour. Even at the required speed limit, it will display an effortless response that you can feel. ozzy
