Wired Ethernet Connection Dropouts with Auralic Aries S1
I have tried an Aurender here at home and i agree, it was rock solid. The Aries seems to be working at the moment, but seems to dropout occasionally.  I have contacted the dealer to let him know of the issue and i have received a response from A... 
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
So i placed the 2nd SL from the wall socket, then it connects to my switches (yes plural). Then out of the switches into another SL, then into the Gustard R26.  When i added the one from wall as the 2nd one, i noticed a difference, but not as muc... 
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
I received two units the other day. Installed one after my switch and before my Gustard R26. Just like everyone here, i can report the same effects. More separation of the instruments, slightly more micro details and dynamics. After @ozzy ’s last...

Thanks so much @ozzy & @tksteingraber

Just a quick question. My SmoothLan will be delivery in the next day or so. Where in your signal path do you have the SmoothLan? Before or after your switcher?  I apologise if this question has already been asked.

Hey @ozzy, I have two SL's on the way. I'll give you an update once they're embedded in my system.   
Amp change/upgrade for JBL4367 (94dB 2Way with Horn tweeter & 15" woofer)
I own the 4365's and i have found that the JBL's love current. I've tried them with EL34 40w mono blocks, 400w Class D and 50w Class A and the best they've sounded is with the ASR Emitter.  
What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard?
ASR Emitter II Exclusive 
Kinki EX M1 user comments
I'll be auditioning the Kinki next weekend. I've got JBL 4365's with Audio Note Kits Mentor preamp and locally made Hypex NC500 Class D mono blocks. While the Class D does a lot i like (bags of power, fantastic bass and midrange), I don't like the... 
Which amp would you choose for a JBL 4367 setup?
I have the JBL 4365's and running them currently with Audio Note Kits 40w EL34 mono blocks. While is sounds very good, the best my speakers have sounded is with high watt solid state and Class D. So if the 4367's are any like the 4365's, they will... 
Any JBL 1400 Synthesis Array owners
I've owned my 4365's now for 6 years and love them to bits. I've driven them with an Ayre V-5xe which was nice, but a little dry. For the last 2 years i've been driving them with the Audio Note Kits EL34 mono blocks at 40w per side. The tubes soun... 
What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers??
I have to agree with @grannyring . The Duelund 16GA tinned copper is an absolute giant killer. It smashed my $3000 Argento's. At $10 a meter, it's a no brainer.  
I'm considering replacing my passive preamp with a tubes. Is it worth it?
I've actually gone from a tube pre to a passive. I used to own an Octave Audio Phonomodule. At the time, i thought it sounded good. That was until my mate brought his Dave Slagle autoformer TVC over. The difference was day and night. Soon after i ... 
Best Preamp - NO preamp... (?)
I think what you've just demonstrated is that your system has a very good gain structure. I was running my Oppo BDP105 directly into my mono blocks too for a while as it sounded better than going through the Octave Phonomudule preamp. I built a pa...
