| Comparing Powerline Ethernet to WiFi for streaming audio Further to my post above, I thought it is also important to note the internet speed test between the Google Mesh WiFi, The NetGear Powerline 1200 and the TP-Link AV600.I have COX Cable Internet in my home. I have the Gigabit package which is suppo... | |
| Comparing Powerline Ethernet to WiFi for streaming audio To David_Ten,Yes, I did factor in cabling. I've tried the following ethernet cables: Revelation Audio, Purist Audio, Audioquest Forest, Supra CAT8 and Verastarr. The best in my system is Verastarr, then Purist, Revelation Audio and Supra. I use th... | |
| Comparing Powerline Ethernet to WiFi for streaming audio To yyzsantabarbara,No, I've not tried direct ethernet. Just too far away and would need too much cabling.I had an Auralic Aries Femto streamer before. Initially with the built-in wifi and later with external wifi bridge and connect with Ethernet. ... | |
| When Did Your System Disappear? When I switched to my current Rethm Saadhana speakers. I thought I already had it for years but these speakers took it to another level completely. Now, I have listerners who have never heard any audio systems in their life, just look stunned and ... | |

| Victor TT 801 See this link:http://www.thevintageknob.org/jvc-TT-801.htmlThe TT-801 is stated as using more ICs than TT-101. It replaced the TT-101 as Victor's flagship and the specs are TT-101 level or better. | |
| Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers Wait till your spouse moves your speakers, while you're away, because they think the current position does not suit the layout of the other furniture in the room.One thing audiophoolism teaches you is patience, patience.... | |
| MC cartridge mini-shootout: SPU, Koetsu, FR, Ikeda I did not realize that Transfiguration is no more. Shame. They had good products at decent prices.The SPU Riyal N should be interesting.The Koetsu wood bodies guve a warmer sound but wood bodies with platinum magnets are closer to the stone bodies... | |
| MC cartridge mini-shootout: SPU, Koetsu, FR, Ikeda I had a Proteus and I replaced it after listening to the Koetsu Stone bodies. I kniw Proteus now has a diamond cantilever version but I've also upgraded my Koetsu Coralstone to the diamond cantilever version. | |
| Flea Watt Amp: What Speakers Are. You Using With Yours? Recommendations I reccomend the Rethm line of speakers. I'm currently using the Rethm Saadhana V3 with my 300B SET OTL at 5watts. Very nice. But all the Rethm models are very high efficiency and easy loading with internal powered subs, so you can get great bass. ... | |

| Ahhh--Problem solved. Adding a REL sub-bass unit... Same experience. I started with 1 REL Strata III and migrated to two REL 218 subs for my system which uses a high efficiency single driver and 300Bs. I highly recommend trying dual REL sub woofers in stereo setup. If you like what 1 REL sub does, ... | |
| FR66s vs Ikeda IT-407 CR tonearms Just use the smart tractor. It invorporates the Dennesen and is more accurate. syntax uses it too since it was released by dertonarm. |
