    I'm with ya, now. They weren't really sticking out to me in the pics in the demo thread (even though Joey was making them obvious 😵‍💫).

    Yes I experimented with ferrite chokes on power cords and RCA cables. Parts express sell clamp on models for different sized cable.
    Ferrite as it happens is also used in AM bar antenna's and it works very good.

    Different PC's from where you are specifying isn't what I would suggest. Try a PC straight from the plug to the amp.

    I agree.
    However, I need to figure out an electrical “home run” from the main panel directly to the listening area. 2 actually, 1 for each mono. Should probably do one for the subwoofer as well.

    A somewhat challenging task as my crawl space is very shallow.

    Can you get a piece of PVC pipe through your crawl space? I did it with PVC pipe to get power out to my spa panel, it worked great.

    Lately, I'm dealing with a number of cluster beeps. Primarily, the McMansion going up next door with the extra deep basement is channeling their water run off to my property. FLOODING my yard AND my crawl!

    Work down there is not pleasant. 1st priority is a knowledgeable worker, 2nd is a skinny **** who's not claustrophobic

    Panelboard is on the rear interior wall and feeding my Rig 15 feet away. Feed will either go up (thru attic), then down OR down, (thru the crawl) then up into the room.

    Either way . . . skinny, knowledge **** WANTED

    Okay ladies and gentlemen. Some time has gone by since my first SRA cable hit the rig and lots of discoveries have been made along the way. Not all, but most of the rig is now outfitted with SRA cables. The main (important) cables are all SRA and I even have some custom cables (made specifically for my rig) in the mix that were hand crafted by Jonny. He is a true artist when it comes to the creation of these cables.

    With each additional cable introduced, the rig has gained aspects that are flat out incredible to my system and these ears. Some things, words can't describe. You just have to experience it. Of the products he has offered to the public, I have the following offerings;

    Boomslang Digital Series
    Signature Series PC's (AMP Series and component as well)
    Signature Series IC's
    Cottonmouth Gold PC's and IC's
    Signature Series SC's
    Mamushi IC's

    I have thoroughly enjoyed this journey, using his SRA cables, and over time I have become great friends with the man himself. Heck, I have even spoken with his lovely wife and she knows exactly who I am. Sometimes, we will speak to each other for hours on end, just shootin' the chit about audio and music.

    Anyhoo, I would like to announce that Jonny has a new lineup of cables he is working on that will be introduced to the public in the near future. The release date is currently unknown but he stated that these will be a big change from his current offerings. I was privy enough to be the first person to listen to his new prototype offerings, in the form of an IC and PC.

    Jonny knocked these cables out of the ballpark! NOTHING is the same with these cables, in comparison to the current offerings. The new lineup will be called "Takshaka". Before getting the prototypes in, I told him that with the recent things I had done to my rig, they had better be damned good, 'cause what I was already hearing was outstanding.

    It didn't take that long to discover that these prototype cables transformed what I heard. I am listening to them now and honestly, I do not want to remove them and send them on to the next person for evaluation/observations. These are truly special cables and you will hear things presented in a way that will absolutely blow your mind at what stereo is capable of. Especially when listening to music from the likes of Felix Laband, Yellow, Bonnie Raitt, and Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band (for example).

    Jonny has new boxes, stickers, placards, sheathing, metallurgy mixes, shielding designs, plugs, etc. The new lineup will look nothing like the current lineup, although it will still feature "Eddie" (The snake logo) and an all new snake themed look to the cables. Absolutely TOP NOTCH, on every aspect you could think of.

    Since these are prototypes, no pictures will be offered at this time. But stay tuned, as good things are definitely coming. These are multiple-award winning class cables.

    Are you hinting that there may be a further forum demo program in our future? I’d like to see it!

    I will speak with Jonny about that. This time, the IC (maybe the prototype). I do know that they will be in a different price bracket and based upon what I hear in my system? The man will be very busy.

    I do know that they will not be launched/available to the public for some time and that I know I will be ordering some. I have ready told him as much. Holy smokes, do they sound fine!

    When he gives me the word, I can release some photos. It will be a stint though. All I can say foe now it that he freakin' NAILED it one these....
