    Passive hearing protection for concerts? Any recommendations?

    Any experience with specific products appreciated. Also price is an object to a point. I've used those cheap drug store squishy foam ones and they were pretty bad. I'm guessing they attenuated upper frequencies only and maybe exposed hearing damage I have in the lows. I heard obvious...

    Driver failure causes

    Do drivers fail from underpowered amp clipping or being fed too much power? I see this argued over in Kef speakers FB groups.

    Crossover caps

    Tripp-Lite Isobar Ultra 8 humming!

    I can hear it (quietly) humming from my listening chair after I turn off the music. I just bought it after noticing that my Dr. was using one. Never noticed any power strips humming before. Am I being neurotic for wanting to return it to Amazon? Any suggestions for an inexpensive replacement. I...
