    FS: Zerosurge Brickwall 2R20 20 amp 2 outlet surge supress line conditioner

    Hello, I needed more outlets so this unit has to go. It is arguably the best surge protection available. http://www.pricewheeler.com/bestprot.htm NON MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) based so protection will never deteriorate. MOVs are sacrificial and WILL over time become useless. This is a near...

    Ground loop hum - would this be a safe fix?

    AM-9080 or rotel rb-985 for Polks?

    A while ago I recall a post showing a list of 6.1 & "7.1" capable/compatible movies. Does anyone have such a list or remember that thread? I've just search here and the hardware archive for 1/2 an hour with no luck. Thanks, Brian.
