They just seem like a cool accessory thats magical since you don't get some kind of bode or PSRR plot with them. And it just seems cool because you get to plug some high tech shit into your already high tech shit to make it better. |

whats a surge protection plug thats snake oil? keep in mind on some low low low low level of academic interest it probably does something. |

Coppercone2, stop talking bullshit! you know very well that we are not talking surge protection devices but audio phoolery. If you are that ignorant then shut up, sit down and learn something. If you want to go to extremes you can do what the guy in japan did and pay for a second mains hookup to get the purest of power unpolluted by other things in his house. |

The opening response is literally some ragelord and you are bringing up my post that is asking a real question about some ghostly reference to a product. |
