Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle?
Here is why buying these high priced outlets is not good. It gives the owners free money and intices others (like Audioquest) to do a similar advertisement and sales tactic. I have a few of the earlier ones, Oyaide, Teslaplex, Cruz first, Furutech... 
Power conditioner or outlet?
QUOTE :easola01 OP142 posts10-05-2018 1:48pmVair68robert.....wow, complicated! For me at least. I don't understand all of that, you have obviously invested a great deal of research in coming up with all this. What I think I do understand is I shou... 
Amplifier and Digital Streamer on Single 15A Circuit?
I like tomic601's advise of checking connections.Besides that a balanced transformer in the power cord, such as the one Core Power makes may be excellent on the streamer, and it will isolate.For the amp, a heavy duty outlet such as Hubble is neces...

Power Conditioners
Use the cheap ones for cell phone chargers, and the better constructed ones for your audio components. Make sure you run them in for a full day or so with a fan, TV or other appliance, then do several listening tests. The power conditioner may sou... 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
Instead of cackle like this :I've tested out 3 botique cables from $27 to $233 a foot. In three systems, didn't do anything more or less than 315 foot of 5e. Also in a forum members system a $13, 100 foot cable, put the bamboozle on that members s... 
Ethernet Cables
A few CAT 8 cables are on the market now. Cables & Kits has a relatively inexpensive one and looks good quality. I am using one now, on my computer.DH Labs makes a CAT 8 with better connectors and silver plated high purity copper wire for a li...

No Geoff. At least not controlled at the factory. Are you trying to control them ? 
Solid Silver Ethernet Cable?
The responses here are still valid today (2020). As for the metals used, I am impressed that they do make a difference, even in Ethernet cables.J-Cat makes one with a small percentage of gold, similar to interconnect cables made by Silnote Audio. ... 
Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?
Thanks for the info, cal3713. The f4s may be good for Klipsch owners who prefer tubes, but have issues with enough power.

Here we go again. I just saw 50 to 60 posts from people who have not tried one of the switches in question.This just confuses people who come here to find out results.50 to about 5 who did post some results, even if they were offering a link to so...
