Go Cat8!
I just ordered a 12 meter and a 1 meter and it was $95 total, so not too bad.  I didn't feel like spending another $40 on shipping, so it will take a while to arrive.   Different topic but regarding the "law of diminishing returns", if $100 of e... 
Go Cat8!
Going to order a 12 meter to go from my Mac to the EtherRegen and a 1 meter fro. EtherRegen to my PS Audio DS bridge card.       
Anyone using a LAN isolator?
@tump350 can you elaborate what adding the clock did to the EtherRegen?  
Vote Your Ranking -If you have an opinion on this digital subject
Funny enough, I can think of at least one site that bans A/B testing as a prerequisite for “proof.” The thing is that everyone’s system and listening acuity is quite different. On my system, things far less than the 1-4 you posted make an audibl... 
Music that swings
I put together a small system while away from home for a year using the H190 fed via Ethernet.   I can tell you that serving it via Bubbleupnp on a Mac and setting the server to uncompress streaming files to WAV sounded far superior to airplay or ... 
Soundsmith notes the passing of Doug Cassara
Peter thanks for posting this. I used to drive my Quad 63’s to Doug’s house whenever a panel needed replacing. I was always inspired by what he was able to accomplish without the use of his hands. I tried on several occasions to invite him to a ... 
Anyone using a LAN isolator?
I tried a medical grade passive isolator and it did a little. I got an EtherRegen from the very first shipment and have heard what it can do in two different ethernet based systems. One just below $10k and the other well above $100k. Fantastic res... 
Neil Young calls out Tidal
Wow this thread has gone off the rails, but I have a friend who is a working virologist. I can’t relay how amazing it is to speak with someone in the field and get updates to the rapidly growing knowledge base, as he sometimes contradicts what he ... 
How do you tell your Cartridge needs replacing?
Fun off topic story that comes to mind since I’m currently sitting here without a phono cart waiting for new styli to be rebuilt at Soundsmith. It seems different designs yield vastly different hours. After about 3000 hours of use I sent my Strai... 
Von schweikert out of business since Albert's passing?

New Perlisten S7T Towers
Anywhere in the NYC or south Florida area to hear them?      
Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference?
I recently got a pair of used Elac Adante large bookshelves.  I am in the process of replacing one of the woofers but have an idea what the speakers perform like.     I also have a pair of Andrew Jones much higher prices TAD CR1’s.  They are both... 
What makes the biggest difference in sound quality?
My answer on order of differences....  Wallet, ears, taste in music, which audio site read... dopamine levels.    
Remote Volume Control for a Sub Woofer
Mine is sticky as well - the rear anyway.   I found this company selling a compatible remote for a very low price.   https://www.remote-control-world.eu/velodyne-c-12_873/velodyne-dd-10-dd-12-dd-15-dd-18-remote-control-duplicate-p-10452.html ...
