If you have strong power fluctuations, the integration of this module has a positive effect on the sound reproduction ? I was looking for a surge protector for the first new stereo equipment that I had bought in thirty years! Thought if I protected my computer that I built myself that the stereo costing thousands more had to be protected. Everything is going through it and I have a massive current sucking cable from it to the socket. One place I bought my peripherals from had this one on sale and it promised to make things plugged into it magically better too. Maybe at first a placebo effect happened that I noticed, not sure and don't care anymore. I can flip a single switch and cut power off to the whole rig when lightning is happening close to home! I was happy with the rig until I heard La Scalas, then sad. Then I got the sub and I've been content since. If I happen to live very long and need to re-do the stereo again the speakers will have to be fully horn loaded or I won't do it at all. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see it while you´re sitting in front of the LaScala5, fully horn loaded........😇 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 You just being mean now George. It was a pair of 1990s barely used that blew my socks off two years ago You've heard this guy haven't you? Last of what I played earlier, still like his sound after forty years I hear it twice or so a year. Jazz infused emotional funky.. I don't know what. Make out music back then a few times! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
