| Pimping your router @jerrybj have a look at Zoerax Cat8 on Aliexpress. I used Onti Cat8 originally and had to switch to it when Onti was discontinued. Great cables, both. | |
| Pimping your router @agisthos my general experience is that eliminating noise as close as possible to the source has substantial advantages to trying at later stages. Equally applies to improving your power: heavy work on junction and fuse box (e.g. Akiko Audio), s... | |
| Pimping your router Yet another update: while I originally used the Acoustic Revive RLT1 filter on my streamer and then Etherregen, I have now moved it to the Draytek Vigor 2860 router, i.e. right at the entry point of public ADSL. The resultant clean up of soundstag... | |
| Aurender or Lumin streamer only? It all depends on the quality of the Esoteric USB implementation. Finding a streamer that reclocks USB seems important: InnuOS Pulsar? | |
| Can we contribute sforzando and lacrimoso, anyone? Or meek and quavering? | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Even when you switch all ‘noisy’ functions off in Roon you still need to run it on a processor capable of fulfilling those functions; and that alone through additional power and processing generates noise. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @carlsbad2 Let‘s just agree to disagree: InnuOS Sense and Roon are fundamentally different philosophies: Roon believes in heavy procssing and power akin to high powered amps whereas InnuOS believes in purist minimalist design akin to SET tube am... | |
| Pimping your router Another update: I managed to insert a EMO EN-70HD in the ADSL link upstream of the router on the theory that galvanic isolation AHEAD of the router might be desirable to decrapify the incoming signal before it even travels in the Ethernet link do... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @carlsbad2 may I suggest you look up the definition of ‘inferior’? Also, using InnuOS in a Roon setting is never going to do it justice. InnuOS’ main attraction is the use of its Sense operating system which requires less processing power and as... | |
| Another fuse tweak @mahgister Thank you for your explanation. One question, if I may: having had a positive experience from tethering 2 AA 1.5v batteries to my RCA cables with polarity from ‘-‘ to ‘+’ and agreeing with your explanation on minerals I was wonderin... | |
| Goodbye Everyone Fingers crossed, best of luck and Merry Christmas | |
| Aardvark Ethernet noise isolator @ozzy the Etherregen‘s active moat actually performs the same function as the Aardvark. In my system using an additional Pink Faun Isolator between reclocked and LPS‘d Etherregen and streamer actually further cleans up the stream. I guess it is ... | |

| Feet One-o-0ne Brief update Given the very good results mentioned above I decided to put Matihur sprung footers under my two Acoustic Revive RTP-4 power conditioners/distributors. The effect of vibration on power cables there is easily demonstrable. Equally I ... | |
| Another fuse tweak @coralkong i got mine from India for a couple of bucks each on ebay. You can get more expensive versions from Acoustic Revive or Audio Replas |
