    I do not have a single open outlet on any of my dedicated line outlets or any of my power conditioner/surge protection devices in any of my rigs.

    I think I see a slot available...4e3wo9g91auw.png

    What can be done about the noise at a live performance? Will a SnubWay help?

    If you are listening to a recording of a live event you may be able to hear more of the low level crowd chatter due to the reduced noise floor. In my case I could definitely hear more, "We love you Taylor" from the crowd than before I had the Snubway. Well worth the expense. :p

    Exactly why I prefer a well recorded studio produced product to a live one, with the possible exception of a live concert where people are there to hear the music and not squeal while it's being played.

    If you are short on outlets, one thing you can do is piggy back one outlet into two. If you know where the stud is within the wall, cut the sheetrock to fit two outlets in that spot. Remove the old box and use an old construction box to secure both outlets. Just be sure to pig tail the new outlet with the same rating wire.

    For a normal outlet, box and more Romex (The 15' of Romex being the bulk of your cost here - you may be able to buy shorter runs by the foot), it shouldn't cost you more than $30 and about 30 minutes of your time. You can always upgrade the outlet as well, at an additional cost. Alternatively, for those who don't know jack about electricity, you could hire an electrician to do it. FWIW.

    The only requirement for these devices is that it resides on the same circuit that the rig resides on.

    Oh, and @Polkitup2 is correct. when it comes to the reproductive effort of live performances, the crowd definitely has a more accurate presentation. Lots more detail and you can hear much more individual people (claps and other sounds), rather than just generalized "noise" from the crowd. The crowd also seems to be much less obnoxious, if you will, as well.

    I got your point completely. My point was meant to be self depreciating humor in response to your humerous post. I guess I failed... Who the *&^% listens to Taylor Swift - lol

    So, is a SnubWay just another name for a ButtPlug? But for your stereo rig?

    Yes, same objective but different application.
