Lifetime of Auricap capacitors ?
Because the stray inductances, non linearities and the esr values of capacitors in the SMALL signal paths DO affect the sound. But those things in the power supply sidedo NOT. 
McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound
paradisecom,Dont waste your breath, they will not believe you.  They hear what they want to hear, the rest is just reality :-) 
McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound
I have detected this incredible sound improvement with fuses but when installed VERTICALLY.I think the gravity plays a trick on the electrons & drags them down to one end :-)As the mains sine wave fluctuates 50 cycles a second, I flipped the f... 
Excellent Power Supply Solution
Just keep your digital gear & SMPS type psus and walwarts AWAY from your analog gear. That is all you need to do. They may affect your analog gear but they will have NO effect on your digital stuff, especially on your home router.

lowrider57And still, NONE of them affect the digital signals.

@boakey39,We are talking about the DIGITAL world here.  A home router, carrying DIGITALLY streamed signals from the Internet, all the way to your home router and thru ethernet (or wifi) also being delivered to the DIGITAL interface of your streame...

For the LAST TIME, the noise (up to a certain level) in the PS does NOT matter in digital circuits. When are you guys ever going to understand that digital signals are NOT prone to a SMALL amount of noise. They ALL have error correction BUILT INTO... 
What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom?
Here is how it goes....If you have the money to spend, despite the diminishing returns, the more of something you have, the better it is.So, having a 1000 w/ch amplifier is always better than a 500 w/channel amplifier, if you do not mind the cost.... 
Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good?
It needs at least about a month of cooking on the barbecue at low heat.  Another 10db of bonus if you also soak it in King's original hawaiian pineapple bbq sauce during that time :-)

First, I work at Broadcom switching products, so I do know what I am talking about.Home routers & switches work at giga hertz frequencies and speed, which are WAY over ANY audio signals you are listening to especially if they are hard wired (e... 
suggestion for a SS class AB amp that sounds like a class A ... if such a thing exists
Pass Labs amps come as close to it as possible. 
Looking to buy a quality integrated $10,000 budget.
Go solid state and get a Pass Labs INT250. Nothing else will come close. 
Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good?
What did you expect, of course power cords do NOT make a difference to the sound, unless you change all the wires from the actual generating plant to your system. Even then, you will hardly hear the difference, unless you are a super being, very l... 
Are Shakti Stones effective?
Is this hocus pocus circus still going on ?I am starting my expedition to bring some stones from the other side of the galaxy to improve the sound. Will anyone finance me with about $200 billion ? It is really worth the improvement to the sound qu... 
Honest Amp Reviews: Impossible?
Engineering is always a compromise.Pass Labs, typically $10,000 - $80,000Dagostino, typically $20,000 - $250,000class D amps, typically $500 - $3000Do you see it yet ?
