| Do I really need an " Audio Grade Network Switch "? @djones51 I am honesty trying to understand your post. Is this jitter measured in the Ethernet link? How jitter in the link could affect sound if there is no "Ethernet jitter" to speak of from the NIC to the PCIe bus/refclk? Ethernet jitter ceas... | |
| Do I really need an " Audio Grade Network Switch "? I completely agree, we all listen different and glad you improve your music investing in a network switch. I was not trying to convince you or suggest that you don't hear the difference. Just trying to explain the technical reason for those that ... | |
| Do I really need an " Audio Grade Network Switch "? @antigrunge2 are you saying that the clock in a switch makes a difference? In a home network, the clocks in a switch will make absolutely no difference, even if one of the switches’ clock has shitted there is no implication on the frame ordering ... | |
| Off the Grid Listening-HELP! @jbs the generators are in little generator house, with lots of insulation, have the mufflers vented in the opposite direction of the house. I can't hear them at all. | |
| Off the Grid Listening-HELP! I would by a Honda generator, plug a 2000-3000VA Pure Sine UPS and plug your equipment to the UPS. Here is what I posted on a similar thread with regards to PS Audio power plants and a UPS. All what I say is my experience, so I do not say if ... | |
| Do I really need an " Audio Grade Network Switch "? I do not believe you do, not even network cables as long as they are the appropriate CAT. I have looked in side a couple of AURALiC, Mark Levinson, and Aurender, the NICs I saw and cross-referenced are nothing but basic NICs, and that is all you n... | |
| Avantgarde Speakers @garyalex thank you for the heads up! I read it all without checking the dates. It came on my most relevant.. | |
| Is PS Audio the only game in town for Power Regenerators? All what I say is my experience, so I do not say if a product is better or not. 😊 In my home in the USA, the entire house was rewired when Covid-19 started because I needed very clean power for my instruments. So half of the house is in one panel... | |
| Avantgarde Speakers @pielfl2 it interesting that you have bring up Acapella. I love horn speakers, I have 7 different horn speakers in my audio storage room, 2 are made in the late 70s and early 80s for my dad, 1 Klipsch Scala that I bought about 2-3 years ago, a pai... | |
| Is PS Audio the only game in town for Power Regenerators? I have a P12, P15 and P20 I like them, but this 3000VA UPS which I own too, is not that far off any of them under an oscilloscope.. I do not know if the PSs are worth the additional cost. | |
| How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers? @vladtheimpala Another example of how different our ears listen, because with my Avantgrade, I have no issues playing at low dbs and getting as good and engaging, if not better, sound as my Wilson Alexx V and Sonus Faber Aida. Clearly they all h... | |

| Room Setup .... REW .... Umik-1 ......Advice Please @tundratoad no problem and you can message me privately if you want to discuss this further. I understand that the process "looks" tedious and long, but it is not, to the contrary it is a lot of fun to listen how the sound changes shape. I learn... | |
| Speaker shootout question -- do you position the same or differently, depending? For some reason the pictures are not showing again! IMHO one should start with absolutely no room treatment, get the best sound the room can give you, and then treat those deficits, because if you start with room treatment then you will end up tr... | |
| VPI Aries 3 Questions - Looking to make a switch I have, and trying to sell, a VPI with a FatBoy, with the platter and feet from VPI HR-X, with the regular motor and ADS. If you use a belt then you can forget about getting stable speed. I just could not get it to sound like I like my tables to ... |
