| Tweaking Etherregen I use a decommissioned power cord with all leads connected to ground via a spare socket. A good grounding box works, too. | |
| As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest Try Black Ravioli Bigfoots: submarine sound deadening technology that deals with any frequencies in equipment casings. | |
| Daisychaining Ethernet switches Thanks @erik_squires, for simplicity I omitted two isolators (Pink Faun at server and EMO EN70 between Netgear and LHYAudio switch) I am also using a pair of DX Engineering 150 high band filters. believe it or not, every item makes an audible di... | |
| Update on good Ethernet switch Uptone is working on a new Etherregen; meanwhile the first one is available again, isloation mode and 10m clock compatible. | |
| Optimum speaker support @magnuman thanks for your suggestion. Given the particular construction of the Duevel speakers, most speaker motion happens on the vertical rather than more conventionally the horizontal axis. Hence the particular benefit of the maglev+Svelte Sh... | |

| Optimum speaker support Thanks @mijostyn, bass response is obviously an important consideration: in my case, the bass fires upwards with 360 degress of reflex ports at the bottom. The suspension solution I describe did clean up particularly sub 100Hz bass. The perceptio... | |
| jitter @bobbyloans There is actually a simple way to find out: buy a cheap $100 clock on alibaba and if that is an improvement, the more expensive clock will be more so. The Gustard from memeory takes a 10mhz master clock, those are broadly available. | |
| jitter I have heard dcs Vivaldi with and without masterclock and the difference isn‘t small. Similarly adding Cybershaft or Antelope clocks to a number of top end dacs (where pos) yields significant improvements. The effect is particularly pronounced in... | |
| jitter @erik_squires Your statement on master clocks is somewhat contestable: interestingly leading dac manufacturers like DCS, MSB or Esoteric offer master clocks for their top of the line stacks. See my comment on the cost/benefit aspects of built-in... | |
| Horns with good timbre and tonality? Most pure horn designs require dimensions patently impractical for residential use. | |
| Horns with good timbre and tonality? There is a German omni which is horn based: Duevel. Bella Luna and Sirius are world class transducers with superior timbre and aoundstaging. Not well known but very worthwhile exploring for the absebce of shout and pase integration issues of tradi... | |
| jitter Jitter results from timing errors both in recording and reproduction. Top studios therefore run superior clock sync. In reproduction clocking (Ocxo or rubidium) can make a major difference if the dac allows for it. This particularly applies if dac... | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendation The OP asked for a cable for high efficiency, low current cables. There is really no point in proposing arm thick, high capacitance cables with lots of skin effect. My two bits worth… | |
