@mitch2 - but of course. Surge protection is important and should be installed. Preferably professional solution, like Siemens. Not Monster crap. And Siemens filters cost only few hundred dollars, protect the entire house AND come with up to $100K warranty. I get THAT part.

Hey everybody,
Thought you might be interested in taking a look at the Stereo Times 2024 list of MOST WANTED COMPONENTS which was posted today. It contains both very reasonably priced and some uber-priced pieces of equipment.
Hope you enjoy, Teajay (Terry London)

++1 for Terry's heads up on the updated CODA S5.5, should've named the S5.6 to mark the improvements. I purchased without hearing it, though I also got confirmation from Mike Kay at Audio Archon who is an excellent dealer. The S5.5 is simply the best solid state amplifier I've ever heard with gear that I know. It's 50 WPC class A (more in A/B), very high current, and to my ears near perfect. I think Terry is a straight shooter, means to do well, and likes to share gear he is excited about.......I respect that. |
I forgot. Terry (and his publications) are big fans of Aric Audio tube gear, and he is spot on with that support. Aric Kimball makes some amazing tube gear, with top end components, point to point wiring, and are great values for such extraordinary equipment.....and yes I own several pieces of Aric's gear. |
@devinplombier and others - I condensed my thoughts and questions on Ethernet isolation devices like the Aardvark Ethernet Isolator, moved them to a more appropriate thread, and deleted/removed the three associated posts from below. |
I also added to the most wanted list for 2024. This stuff if for free. There is no subscription you can go on the site and read the reviews. Why is sharing information about products we heard and enjoyed cause some people to get angry? We are very fortunate to get to play in this hobby. It’s just free info. jh |
