| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender That’s the case at my place. I needed a network connection for a music server- the powerline was the easiest method of achieving that. | |
| Book Shelf Speaker advice - Formerly Book Shelf Dilemma @raydecraene Have you considered any of the powered/wireless speakers from Kef or Dynaudio? I believe both manufacturers have something to offer within the price range you’ve stated. I remember when my wife and I purchased our first place- dink... | |
| Canare 4S11 @lowrider57 I would go balanced- but that’s just my preference. I’m using Canare L-4E6S for all my balanced interconnects and have had no regrets. | |

| Whats playing on your system today? @curiousjim Just looked up “Stone Rebel” on Bandcamp- surprised I hadn’t heard of them before. I’ll try this out later today! | |

| Custom rack, isolation under platform vs component? Great job on your rack- that looks really nice!

| What Gear Has Disappointed You? @bigtwin Your onto something- a thread about expensive cables that didn’t deliver would definitely be entertaining! | |
| What Gear Has Disappointed You? One of the biggest audio disappointments of all time (I’m sure I’m not the only one) The “Olive 4HD” (pretty much all Olive products) | |
