Ethernet Cables - what are you using and why?
I use (3) DHLabs Reunion CAT8 ethernet cables; from the router > Electric English 8Switch > EE1 network isolator > DAC. The DHLabs is doing the job, but I haven’t compared it to the other ethernet cables.  
My new review for The Absolute Sound comparing AGD GAN amps with BHK300’s
@emailists Great review…. I saw it on YouTube a few days ago.  I like your style of review.  You should do more! @bolong I concur with your assessment of how different interconnects and power cables modify the sound of the Audion amps.  The Audio... 
My experience with The Music Room
@eurorack That was an unfortunate situation with your cd player.  I doubt they knew the unit was inoperable as something could have happened while it was in transit to you.  Mail services don’t always handle our electronics with care.  You would h... 
Gryphon Diablo 333
@audiocanada The dealer not far from me carries both brands, but I had a bad experience with him and I’m not dealing with that guy for anything.  I’m going to sit still with my current amps because they may be hard to beat without spending double ... 
My experience with The Music Room
@eurorack Did your cd player stop working outside of The Music Room’s window of return or was the cd player inoperable upon receiving it?  I returned a pair of Cardas Clear power cables to them because I didn’t like them.  No issues. This is from... 
Gryphon Diablo 333
@audiocanada It’s interesting you mentioned the Luxman M-10x because if I were to make an amplifier swap, I have zeroed in on the Luxman M-10x or the Gryphon Diablo 333 integrated.  I owned the Luxman L509x integrated and I really liked it.  I nev... 
Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects
@audphile1 Concerning the intermittent pops and static, AGD Productions and MSB have been very responsive and AGD has a gameplan to troubleshoot the situation.  We’ll get it worked out.  Yes, the Till Brönner tune is nice! @mclinnguy That playlis...

Thanks @tomic601   
Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects
@mclinnguy I’m not insulted at all with your suggestions.  Here’s a quick snapshot of what I’m dealing with, my speakers are dialed in to a tee.  I already had tight and accurate bass with the Cardas Clear, so the swap to the AZ Absolutes conveyed... 
Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects
UPDATE….  I got the Acoustic Zen Copper interconnects and they outperformed my Cardas Clear interconnects, so they are a new fixture in the chain.  Then, I got a pair of Acoustic Zen Absolute speaker cables on loan from The Cable Company earlier t... 
Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects
@mclinnguy LOL!!!  Did you really?  
Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects
@mclinnguy I am familiar with Audio Bacon’s review.  I read several forum comments about the Boomslang and I figured I’d give it a shot.  Just didn’t work for me in my system. @steakster After my experience with the lower tiered Acoustic Zen MC2=... 
Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects
@mclinnguy I conducted an AES digital cable shootout with the following; 1. Mogami W3080 AES/EBU - Too thin sounding. 2. Synergistic Research - Foundation SX AES/EBU - Too forward in the treble. 3. Snake River Audio - Boomslang AES/EBU - Too ve... 
Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects
@pinwa You have a nice system and I bet those Maggie’s sing! Thanks for sharing!  
Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects
@decooney I couldn’t agree more, but it’s always fun to hear some insight from the community who may own the product of interest.  There have been times where there is the same theme going around about a product from hifi reviewers and actual owne...
