Burn In on Aurender N100H
You’re welcome. I just stumbled on this USB comparison. The Curious accounted for itself quite well:http://audiobacon.net/2017/09/18/curious-cables-usb-review/ I would agree with the reviewer on the relative merits of the USB cables of that bunch... 
Burn In on Aurender N100H
Same experience with WW Platinum Starlight 7 USB. Much too aggressive sounding in this application. Curious will be a much better match.Dave 
Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC
Looking forward to reading your results from this advice lowrider. I have all of.these tweaks (Jena labs CD polish, AVM, Acoustic Revive CD degausser) from years of trying nonsense and would be glad to loan them to you as I found them to be a comp... 
Burn In on Aurender N100H
I have had a N100H for a while. It replaced my PC as a streaming source to my DAC (Exogal Comet Plus). I find it anything but digital sounding in comparison, but did find that different USB and power cables, and to a lesser extent Ethernet cables,...

Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC
Good feedback lowrider. I believe your results. Much better reason IMO than the advice of someone else. Can't say whether it was due to being a "digital" PC or not as I have had similar findings with some PCs that were not. I really hope that you ... 
Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC
Hi lowrider,Very sorry to read of your medical situation and I understand that completely.I cannot speak to the JPS power cord from personal experience, but I do not see anything about it or any other quality power cord that could increase jitter.... 
Best Budget RCA cables
Defy disbelief and allow a week for all cables to settle and try again. Dave 
Graphene in fuses and cost
Nice to see someone actually comment on the relative sound characteristics of different brands of fuses instead of the usual, er, whatever. I know one person that likes the HiFi Tuning fuse better than the SR Black in some components in his system... 
Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ?
Hi Chris,Very good to hear of this.Try bringing the speakers out another 2 feet from rear wall (4’ total from wall to front of speakers) such that you and the speakers form an equilateral triangle 8’ on each side. Toe such that the imaginary lines... 
Marc Morin-- AR TT mods
Great guy. Knows his stuff. My experience with Marc was excellent.Dave 
So how many use MM cartridge and intend to keep it that way ?
Many of the vintage MMs do indeed sound excellent. Thanks to Raul, lewm, timeltel, nandric, and others I got to experience some great ones. My favorites: Signet TK-7LCa, Micro Acoustics (electret) 2002, 530mp, 3002, Sonus Gold Blue, and Empire 400... 
Turntable and Rack vibration control
More with the stupid extremes, inna? folkfreak can say such for illustration purposes because he is not limited to a $2k cartridge...Dave 
Turntable and Rack vibration control
If folkfreak said the Herzan is the sh*t, then it likely is. I’m moving along on getting the Symposium Ultra platform setup under my TNT. Ordered a custom size Super Plus platform from Peter today for under the motor/flywheel assembly. All that’s ...
