Never Done with the Humble Hockey Puck A glorious use not yet mentioned is under a subwoofer. I use 4 stacks of 2 under the 4 spike discs. This is a very substantial sub and over the years the discs have settled partially into the rubber. The tig...

@agisthos where did you buy it? Did you have a 30 day return option?  
Yes, digital cables matter too

Early next week I will have results of an ethernet cable shootout. All four cables will be 15 to 20m. I am doing this because I have a sound problem that needs to be solved. Besides the inclination, I have the time to do this. More on that later. ...
