Sure, there are those who replace one component that isn't the bottleneck and claim wonderous results, but more pitiable are the ones who will replace every component in the chain.
$1000 surge protectors are a thing.

I got a Monster surge protector. I think they are around 100-200 dollars. But it came FREE with a TV purchase I made back in '03. It has different labels for different equipment per socket, I ignore the gently caress out of those labels since they don't seem to do jack poo poo. I really don't understand some of this crazy audiophile poo poo.

Not to defend Monster or their prices, but those labels are just for convenience. If you want to unplug a specific component for some reason, you just look at the label rather than tracing the cords back to the equipment to see which cable goes to what.

And here I thought it was some voodoo audiophile stuff, why else would a surge protector be upwards of 200 dollars? That makes a ton of more sense.

You're supposed to buy the second cheapest cable.

If you're looking for something to specifically test a sub, track 8 (IIRC) off of the original Quake soundtrack is absolutely bonkers. It'll tear apart any sub.

I'll have to dig mine up

Maybe track 7? Seems like that track only deals with high frequency or under 20hz with nothing in between. I don't have my tactile inducers hooked up right now and my seats were loving shaking. Awesome poo poo.
