| Pimping your router Sorry, I had understood that you connect the Lumin to the Actiontec via ethernet rather than directly to the router. In that case a direct ethernet link to the router would be preferable. | |
| Pimping your router @brenn,Can you go ethernet to the Lumin rather than inserting wifi?If not, use a high quality, short cable (e.g. Meicord) between Actiontec and Lumin. If you can go ethernet, I‘d suggest inserting and EMO or ENO filter ahead of the server | |
| The Exogal saga continued.... May I humbly suggest that bending over backwards is no way to deal with Mofos.... | |
| Too much Yo-Yo Ma? btw, I do rate Yo Yo Ma‘s Bach solo suite as well as his Beethoven and Brahms with Emmanuel Ax | |
| Too much Yo-Yo Ma? Try Miklos Perényi, one of Hungary‘s better kept secrets. There are some wonderful recordings with Andras Schiff on piano | |
| If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile? While I concur broadly with @rauliruegas, there are speakers that image better than others. And there are speakers with narrower and wider sweet spots, Generally point source speakers have better imaging and because of more consistent room reflect... | |
| Pimping your router The principal benefit of fibre is its immunity to EMI/RFI and ground level distortion as well as clock deviations for the length of the cable. That however doesn‘t mean that distortions in the conversion from optical to electrical as well as back ... | |
| Pimping your router @chorus,The Etherregen allows you to go optical between the router and the ER and on most accounts that is preferable.This eliminates ethernet related tweaks. Conversely the advice on cabling between the internet connection and the router, the imp... | |
| Pimping your router @aschuh,the real test would be to have a dedicated hard-wired streamer feed your Oppo via ethernet or USB. In your current setup you don‘t really have a way of assessing the upgrade potential. Unfortunately wifi receivers have their own noise issu... | |
| Pimping your router @ohmy,the issue isn‘t about loss of data but rather about EMI/RFI as well as ground level noise getting into the system alongside the data and subsequently messing with analogue stages. This manifests itself with harsh treble, reduced imaging and ... | |
| Ethernet cables @cakyol,this bits are bits argument gets easily defeated by using your ears. Even short ethernet connections are subject to RFI/EMI as well as ground level incursions that have been measurably proven to mess with digital to analogue conversion in ... | |
| Pimping your router @richtruss,the EMO filters RFI/EMI as well as ground level noise from long ethernet runs, whether you call or not call that a filter is your personal choice. As to your stated fact that one of these is also built into the streamer: there is plenty... | |
| Pimping your router I suggest you stay away from wifi anywhere near your system or the router that serves it. If you need wifi, get a setup separate from your system. It‘ll do wonders to your music enjoyment. | |
| If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile? Yawn,do either of you think this sort of pi**ing contest adds anything to others’ enjoyment of their hobby?Not by a country mileCease and desist if you please |
