Thanks for the input guys!

Cat: I have stories like that as well frown my cat has already killed my old gaming mouse, 2 mics and a headset by chewing through the cables.

Socket: I've heard stories about how bad the Denon manual is. Thanks for the rec of the Batpigs page.. I'll google it and check it out for sure during installation.

If it helps, I purchased GLS Black Chrome plugs from Amazon.

I forgot there are tech articles on this site. I have a lot of reading to do smile
