| Improving Comcast modem signal @benzman Not sure what the original adapter size is but have you looked on Amazon for DC plug adapter kits? Like this: https://www.amazon.com/TPEKKA-Compatible-Connector-Universal-Connectors/dp/B08G4CYHJ2/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1ESTL89CS4OAK&... | |
| Audiophile Jargon Demonstrated You missed Digital Glare. That additional background that adds an unnatural /unpleasant tonality. I found it most noticeable with vocals. It's almost as if autotune was on. | |

| Best budget USB If you're really budget. One of the biggest changes I've made to my system was filtering the power from the USB source with a simple power blocker adapter and then adding it back with a powered USB hub. If you want to go whole hog you can use a ... | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave Dac I'm running Tosklink from the TV and USB from the music server and just switch them back forth from the remote. So yes not an issue. | |
| Audio PC @milpai I completely understand and really envious of being completely happy with your system. It never seems to last more than a week for me until I'm trying to identify the weakest link after an upgrade. I do feel I'm pretty lucky with the PSAu... | |
| Audio PC @milpai If you are up to an inexpensive experiment I'd like to get your feedback. Scrounging the forums Ted Smith (the designer of the PSAudio PerfectWave DAC) suggested that the issue with USB as a connection is the 5V power included within t... | |
| Rant against the industry with hopes for discussion on positive change APPLE??? Then come up with a HiFi ecosystem that integrates everything at several reasonable price points for the whole shebang.

| Best SET power amp below $5,000 A recent review form the HIFI Cave about a super rectifier add on really intrigued me. I've rolled rectifiers and they significantly shaped the sound so his review has credence with me. iFi Cave review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ldwtuyWLq0... | |
| Rant against the industry with hopes for discussion on positive change There's two issues. First the music. It's synthesized so all the nuance we find so interesting is gone and there's ear buds. Why would I give up a whole wall and have to deal with annoying my neighbors when I can integrate my music, my telephon... | |

| To truly enjoy this hobby, I need to learn electronics. Any book recs? Bruce Rozenblit's Tubes and Circuits. Bruce sells / designs the Transcendence OTL amplifier kits. | |
| Is this the entrance to my rabbit-hole? OP thanks for posting I have the Speakerlab SK versions and I would like to upgrade them but they just sound so right and I don't want to screw it up. I've looked at the Volti, ALK and Crites sites for an upgrade path and I'm unable to pull th... | |
| Best SET power amp below $5,000 If you’re in no hurry (up to a 2 year wait) Decware is releasing a new 300B amp that according to the owner/builder is supposed to be pretty darn special. I haven’t seen a price yet but should be in that $5000 range. (Note) if you want to dump yo... | |
| Burned Pecan Pi The volumio support forum was of no help? Since it's happening on a regular bases it might have to do with a billing cycle. If you payed by the month instead of annually does the same issue occur? You have an account that should follow you ever... |
