| Stack Audio Auva Isolator I had 24 Starsound audiopoint footers all with matching coupling discs for my entire system. They were good but the Stillpoints Ultra SS easily bested the Audiopoints. And they should have being 4x the price! But I only mention this because I rese... | |
| Opinions on RENOLABS in Vietnam They have some nice looking solid billet casework for products in the 1-2k price range. | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! I am now going to check out the Stack Audio AUVA EQ footers. They could be giant killers like the SmoothLAN. | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! @ozzy I also have an ethernet cable out from the EtherRegen that is running to my Apple TV, so, I placed the 2nd SmoothLan before that Apple TV. I think with this connection I am getting more additional "digititis" removed and it is improving t... | |
| Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder @westcoastaudiophile That's what this entire hobby is, a bank account burning machine. | |
| Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder agisthos, The Nordost VIDAR was never meant to be used with power cabling. I use it for tonearm cable, tonearm wiring, and line level cabling. Right, its the Audiokharma cooker that does everything. But does Nordost have a power cable condition... | |
| Do you belong more to souce first or to speakers first school of thought ? Also it doesn’t matter if your source ends up being multiples in price of your speakers. You don’t have to buy a top line speaker to match, as often the top speaker model has a half dozen drivers and is designed for a cavernous listening space and... | |
| Do you belong more to souce first or to speakers first school of thought ? Speakers and amps start to get very competent around 7-10k. You can triple that price and only get a different flavor of sound. My advice is now find a speaker with a sound you like, then go to the moon on the source. Not just the DAC, but ground... | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! When waiting for a new audio toy I refresh the shipment tracking page like 50 times waiting for it to come. The SmoothLAN was delayed from even shipping in the first place due to high demand. But it ended up being worth it, unlike many other twea... | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! @rms456 Sure, and I am not having a dig at the DXE-ISO filter, I am sure it does something positive. It probably is best to compare that one to the cheaper iFi iSilencer filter tho. @ozzy if having 2 SmoothLAN's in series is only additive, with n... | |
| Stack Audio Auva Isolator I would like to know how the Stack AUVA EQ compares to Stillpoints SS Ultra. @wcheng2 has reported its not as good as the Critical Mass, but they are very expensive. The AUVA is bargain priced compared to other isolation footers. The SmoothLAN is... | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! The back to back Ethernet filters containing ferrites and caps are well established, so filtering on Ethernet lines is effective. Well established to work by who? This it not IT networking, but audio. The ferrites not only will choke the signal... | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! What you guys said about the ENO having reduced dynamics is exactly what I would expect having seen a picture if it’s internals - it just has each wire pair wrapped around a potted ferrite ring. My experience with testing ferrite rings (for signa... | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! Does the SmoothLAN improve with break in? Because I only put 5 hours on it in my PC, now it’s in my main system and damm its looking good so far. For video/TV it has increased visual detail slightly (already highly treated on the power side), and... | |
| Telos Mini Quantum Resonator (MQR) & Puron Filter together Putting sound aside, the Telos MQR is by far the best looking of these kind of devices. |
