@esarhaddon  I think you might have nailed the answer on why I had never heard of a working ground enhancer or “Shield Ground “ Thanks.   
Lumin U2 Mini
@fuzztone  Are you talking about the program from Roadkill?     Thanks.  
Power isolator versus need for a better Power supply
@jumia  You are talking about two different things. A wall wart in general is crap for hifi usage and a Power isolation device won’t change that.  I’m looking at getting an S Booster power supply for my streamer to give me cleaner power. https:/... 
Sound quality of Roon
This is a great thread especially for someone like me who is new to streaming.  I do have a question about Roon. I understand the organization and the added value of Meta data, but how can Roon improve the sound from Tidal or Qobuz? Isn’t that wha... 
Where do you want your system to go when you go?
Almost everything we own was put into a trust, so when we’re gone, everyone can fight it out. Unfortunately, there is nobody in my family or hers that have any interest hifi audio. I doubt it will go into a dumpster, but there will probably be no ...

@serancien  Can you tell me more about John Swenson’s grounding tweak?  I seem to have missed that one. Thanks.

Does upgrading you system have to be on a logarithmic curve?
I look at it as something that grows with you. My first car was a well used ‘67 VW bug. I learned how to drive a stick on it and about car maintenance. My first stereo was a pair of mismatched mono amps and some speakers I built. I learned about e...

Question, I’m using a Netgear Powerline extender that uses your home wiring.  Can I plug the Green Computer Dirty box into the the second Netgear box?    NETGEAR Powerline adapter Kit, 2000 Mbps Wall-plug, 2 Gigabit Ethernet Ports with Passthrou... 
Single vs Bi-wire Speaker Cable
In fifty years of trying tweeks, many have worked, but Bi-Wiring has not! What speakers, preamp, amp (s) do you currently have? If you buy AQ speaker cables, see if you can get a couple pairs of jumpers made of the same wire and replace the gold p... 
Has anyone compared Lumin the U1 Mini to the U2 Mini?
