@2channel8 - exactly. I think there are many products that could very well do what they claim, but seemingly exorbitant prices make many people sceptical and many outright hostile. My solution is to DIY and, if I notice an improvement, then I MAY ...

Salute the solutes! 
Oh man, I broke my class D amp. Make fun of me. Then help.
@boneman73 it's funny you should mention openDNS. I just finished setting it up on our network today. As far as phones, I'm trying a nanny app that I still need to dial in..As for power, I built a power box that I also installed TMOVs in for surge...

Northernescape - Geoff just likes to be difficult and often snarky. But, in the long run, he’s a good guy. If you have thin skin or hold onto grudges, you’ll never get to the long run.As far as double blind for audio.. that gets difficult because ... 
Isolation footers for amps
Just to double check my understanding, wouldn't cones and spikes be coupling devices, not isolation?

Oooo.. northern, you just said double blind. I’m afraid you’ll have to leave. 😁

Randy - my main problem is your over generalizations. I personally have biochemistry  and education degrees. And yet you seem to assume that I'm a wooly headed thinker who just believes what I want without evidence or theory. Or at least that's wh...
