| Streaming vs ripped music mesh isn’t worse than traditional wifi: much depends on were you are: if there are a lot of other wifi networks near you, you won’t have enough bandwidth and hence running an ethernet cable will substantially improve SQ. Otherwise mesh or wifi wil... | |
| Coupling/Decoupling Electronics Spikes on concrete are one thing, on wooden floora thy are something else, namely useless because of the unwanted resonances they create. On the latter damping is necessary. I have used Black Ravioli and Symposium Svelteshelf, the latter having a ... | |

| Learning To Listen I’d suggest starting with a single instrument whose sound you know well, ideally something with a full frequency range e.g.piano or cello.Take a slow movement and try to focus on single notes: Initial attack, decay and reverb. Does it sound thin o... | |
| Needing Isolation Feet for Bookshelves on Credenza Look at Black Ravioli, superb dampening. Can be combined with Rollerballs or Stillpoints | |
| Looking to buy a power conditioner if you have a dedicated spur I’d go passive. I have very good results in SQ from an Acoustic Revive RTP-4 with their reference power cord | |
