| Best way to A/B two different streamers My recommendation would be to listen to the streamer for at least 3-4 days to get to know its sonic signature. Then switch to your computer as streamer. Spend another 3-4 days if the differences aren’t immediately obvious. Make a playlist specific... | |
| Ethernet opinions @vthokie83 +1 on Supra CAT8! I had it and it’s pretty good. I also tried the version with Telegartner connectors which is better than the stock Supra. As good as the Supra is, and it’s a really good value for the money, it falls slightly short of... | |
| Change of Ethernet Cable @jasbirnandra I really like the Purist ethernet cable. Not crazy expensive either especially used. Full sound, great layering and soundstage. | |
| Most Difference @ghdprentice +1 too many unknowns in this equation. OP can you provide a bit more context? System/components/available connection options, current ethernet set up? | |
| Ethernet opinions Yup. But in your case your Pass Labs gear as well as the Bricasti are so low noise and quiet. I would run the X250.8 straight from the wall outlet using a good power cord. The M3 will benefit from power conditioning and so will the XP-12 but make ... | |

I’d go for a used Audience AU24se power cord. StudioOne is a replacement for it that uses different connectors. The older se is a great ... | |
| Ethernet opinions @shtr74sims btw thank you for the kind words!!! | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? F3 is ok. I would skip over it though and go to StudioOne. | |

| Ethernet opinions shtr74sims OP 50 posts 05-01-2023 at 02:44pm What would most of you guys do ? Run an Ethernet across the room from modem to dac ? Or run Ethernet across the room into a switch then use the AQ Vodka into dac ? Just curious… It’s all ver... | |
| Ethernet opinions @shtr74sims everything matters especially at the level you’re playing at. There’s plenty of resolving power in those components to let you know what each change had added and taken away. | |
| PART 2. Good Suggestions for Tube Pre/Amp for $6000 @ndancer what about room acoustics? You got that covered? Made me think of acoustic treatments when you mentioned soundstage. |
