Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender
An extender is all I need since all I am trying to do is get the best reception in one location only, my listening room. No need to mess around with a mesh network in my case.  
Lyra Kleos arrives after eight months. . Worth the wait? First impressions
I have a VPI Classic 1 with the uni pivot. For what it's worth the Kleos likes a perfectly parallel VTA to the record surface. It also likes 475 ohms best on the phono stage. To my ears anyway and it follows Kleos recommendations.  
Lyra Kleos arrives after eight months. . Worth the wait? First impressions
I have the Kleos, love it for acoustic music, female vocals and classical. Not so much for anything requiring punch, like electronic music, prog rock, hard rock or even funky jazz like the Crusaders. Since those types of music are my favorites, I ...

DH Labs
My experience is different with DH Labs. I had their Silversonic USB cable between my streamer and dac. Their lower priced one, not the mirage. The Silversonic was ok at first but for some reason it got so bright that it actually hurt my ears and ... 
What selections do you play when showing off your system to others?
I ask them what they would like to hear and I play that. Easy to do with streaming, odds are it will have what they want. It is absolutely pointless to play them something they don't care for even if to your ears it is the best sounding record eve...

Jay's cdt2-mk3 with Gustard X26 PRO is my rig. Top value for the money.

Streamer Recommendation.
I'm in the Dinov camp, you can see my streaming system details in my house of stereo system. Another HUGE variable that no one here is talking about is what device do you want to use to control your streamer. I personally want to use exclusively m... 
Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System?
Like Mike my system is also located in a different house from the main house. Best thing I ever done. The only people seeing it are people I choose to show it to. My wife doesn't even have a key. Last time she saw it was over a year ago. Bottom li... 
Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System?
Just like my wife "I bought it on sale!"
