 If you want to improve your streaming quality set priority to the streamer. One of these   managed netgear switches for $30 will do more than the linked unmanaged switch. https://www.netgear.com/business/products/switches/web-managed/GS305E.aspx 
Solid states more accurate than tubes?
I thought the question was which is more accurate in reproducing not creating. The artist   and associatiated technicians creates, we simply try to reproduce what they created. In order to be faithful to that creation then accuracy is paramount. I... 
How to select a good Speaker Cable
The same don't apply for both. Why bother with DF? Speakers don't have a flat 4 or 8 Ohms they can fall to 1 Ohm and jump to 30 Ohms. A 4 awg cable in home audio is not necessary and when figured with amplifer and speaker resistance is a fraction ... 
Who says cables don't make a difference?
Not really pfhjvb0. Just a bunch of silly nonsense, very few on this site are interested in how any of these things work just subjective "but but it sounds better" with no controls involved or explanation as to how.

How to select a good Speaker Cable
No I am going to argue numbers because you're trying to sell cables using irrelevant numbers. What's relevant is the DIFFERENCE  between one guage and the other using the amplifier resistance plus the wire resistance not the percentage of change i... 
Solid states more accurate than tubes?
I assume by true fidelity you mean high fidelity? High fidelity in audio means reproduction of sound without distortion and color that remains true to the original. In order to achieve that you need very accurate measuring equipment. The biggest o...

You’re not adding the amp resistance. DF 700 = 8/700= .0114 Ohm0awg resistance = .000098 ft10 awg resistance = .00099 ft Total drive resistance 0 awg = .0114 +.000098 =.011498 ftTotal drive resistance 10 awg = .0114+ .00099= .01239 ft Difference =... 
Shipping question
Can Joseph audio send you some boxes for them?  
Looking for quality sound from my iPhone/cloud stored media
I think you would get better sound from powered speakers using your phone as the input. Something like these where you can but don't have to use bluetooth..https://www.amazon.com/Audioengine-Wireless-Speakers-Favorite-Resolution/dp/B01M8NUP1A 
Who says cables don't make a difference?
I can't argue with that if you want an expensive cable as statement pieces and want to splurge on them it's not my money.  
Anybody want a laugh?
Then once again my last post leaves me with the problem I have with these expensive audiophile switches. No matter if they do clean the signal of some noise actually doing what they claim it’s not really important. For instance you take two equall... 
Anybody want a laugh?
I don't see anything wrong with the 6moons article as far as it goes. Where it needs a bit of clarification for me is when they talk about "timing jitter". I agree there is always room for improvement. If they're talking about jitter in the signal...
