RE: With the exception of shedding, my Audioquest experience is the same

"I had to google pukka, as the closest word I am familiar with is puka from my Hawaiian birthplace. I do have a British dictionary at my other location, but I had to rely on the internet here in Washington State."

Sorry about that. I wondered if was used in American English ( apparently not). It is actually Hindi (as are words like shampoo, veranda) acquired by us in the days of empire. It is in pretty general use here - we even have brands such as Pukka Tea, Pukka Pies and Pukka Services ( vehicle insurance). It just means pure, genuine. We often employ " kosher" in a secular sense for the same purpose (especially by cockneys like me) but these days I wonder if that usage might offend some?

And after all this time I find that you are not in Alaska but Washington State :-).
