Loudest Sound Ever?

Loudest Sound Ever?
@onhwy61-  Scientifically speaking: shockwaves and sound waves are two distinctly different phenomena.    A shockwave resulting from an energetic enough explosion, can travel 100 times faster than the speed of sound.    A shockwave's wave-form a... 
Loudest Sound Ever?
      I'd have thought the Big Bang, but: how could there have been a big, "Bang" in a vacuum?     The loudest sound in human History was (officially) the third Krakatoa explosion/eruption.               https://allthatsinteresting.com/krakatoa-...

Power cord choice?
@rsjm80-   I've used Zu Mother PCs on a number of components and never have been disappointed, in the least.          Currently: I have them on my CDP, preamp and tubed, monoblock, main amps.           Some low-cost options, you may want to expl...
