| Home network Fibre optic vs Ethernet I like the suggestion to run both and use ethernet for now. Right now fiber has one vendor with a loyal group of followers but I (and many others) aren't convinced that the losses from the dual converters outweigh the gains. but I'm open minded,... | |
| Why whole house surge protectors are not enough Erik, Given that I don't have to deal with lightning where I live, and power is actually underground so cars don't hit poles either. But I would rather take my chances and buy new gear if damaged than compromise sound quality. Jerry | |
| Re-wiring the listening room: Questions 99% of the value of the dedicated line is for the amp. | |
| Nuclues plus bricked @yyzsantabarbara So the core has to be on the same network as the streamer. It has been my experience that it has to be on the same switch. I tried moving my core away from my system (to the router location) and the streamer and core couldn't fi... | |
| Nuclues plus bricked I run my core on a NUC (Intel mini computer). I have the Innuos and with others reporting good luck running the core on the innuos, maybe I should try it. I’ve just agreed with the roon recommendation that the core should be on a stand alone devic... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @thyname thanks for the shout out as the original "we don't need no stinking fuses" guy. I have tested the Swiss Digital Fuse Box and recommend it over any fuse. My impression was that it wasn't as good as the "large gauge piece of metal" (high ... | |
| Dennis Had FIRE 300 B tube SET No replies so far, maybe no owners here. I just discussed this amp last week with a friend looking to buy a 300b. My concern is that Dennis is using less expensive components to make an amp that sells for $4k with $1.5K ouput tubes. You can see... | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? Schiit owns this market/price range and the DAC will be a huge upgrade over the $1.25 chip in your laptop. You won't be sorry. | |
| Warranty repair wait times - serious industry problem?? Just one more reason why I do my own work. Headed back to garage to finish 40K service on my audi. | |
| Taxation using PP G&S Depends on how much profit you make. If you buy gear for $50k and sell it for $60k, you'll owe taxes on $10k, perhaps minus some expenses. If you sell it for $40K, you won't be able to write off the $10K loss unless you claim stereo selling is... | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? @ghdprentice preach somewhere else. My comment was not negative. Your speculaton about my wealth is quite correct. I make $10 an hour. | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? You're still spending a sh*tload of money, much of which goes for the name and the reputation rather than the performance. You actually get an extra star on your audiophile card. Jerry | |
| Which Fuse Generally mains fuses are slow blo. Jerry | |
| Another Fedex problem... Got 2 fedex ground packages yesterday. Fast and easy no problems. | |
| Really Long XLR I would make my own cables from 16 awg Duelund DCA wire. The wire for a 40' set will cost you $400. A good set of XLR connectors is $100. Sheath material another $100. If you don't have silver solder, another $15. Jerry |
