Ethernet cables
@classicrockfan you must be a little behind in your reading sir as both common mode noise and EMI is very well documented and that is exactly what is being addressed by the chokes and shielding employed in the Ethernet cable and Muon referred to a... 
Puritan PSM156
Thanks @jerrybj, appreciate the update and info. I'm also in the UK. To complement the FI-33 NCF(R) socket, I replaced the Puritan Classic+ C19 connector and mains plug with Oyaide C-237 Rhodium/Silver plated 20A IEC plug, C19 Furutech FI-1363R N... 
Puritan PSM156
Hi @jerrybj I also fitted a Furutech FI-33 NCF IEC inlet to my Puritan PSM156. It took a bit of a rework on the panel due to the different shape as compared to the stock inlet. Very nice piece once done though. The power cable for the PSM156 is a ...

Help chosing an integated amp
Hi, my advice would be to forget any of those mentioned above and look for a Pass Labs. INT-60. It is on another level and capable of extracting every last ounce of performance from your speakers. It will generate heat and likely be physically lar... 
Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one
For all Pass Labs INT-250 owners (likely all Pass integrateds and possibly pre-amps) there is even more to be had. Replace the monolithic regulators on the INT_8_MB_R1 Pre-amp board with discrete regulators from SparkoS Labs., Inc. The points deno...
