Time/Process of Hooking up New Equipment
I know what you mean I bought a desktop I just stared at the tower on the floor for five months and then installed it. I bought it so I could do DSP. Now it's two weeks later and I have not done DSP. So now I want to buy some cables well I should ... 
Diffuser panel design - overrated?
I have seen the Gik acoustic stuff and it's not very nice to look at.  Whenever I walk into a room I see similar things from GIK.  free consultations I have done and they just wanna load you up with panels. Hardly independent.    Acoustical treat... 
Router for Audio Streaming
Oh my God, so much technical stuff to deal with here.  And so much uncertainty as to whether it really makes a difference. What a mess. I use a modem that's compatible with my cable TV system, netgear router, and an audio grade network switch, En... 
need a new IC cable ( rca )
I recently got A mogami cable, w3173, which is bulk cable that is not available via retail due to it's larger guage. Not sure why they don't offer this retail. It is regarded as one of their best audio cables.  I found someone to attach RCA conne... 
Interconnects - better before preamp or after preamp?
Very good points herein. I think why everybody gets so excited it's because they hear differences between cables.  And sometimes the differences improve the experience. But lots of cables with all those twisted strands that are creatively shield... 
Qobuz Playlists Exchange
Quobuz Interface sucks. There's a great playlists. I tried the first one and the only way I could get it on qobuz was to import it but it took a while   - am i downloading every single song. I tried doing another one and it wouldn't show it in t... 
Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet?
The fact that all the data packets arrive in the proper order and number isn't the key thing here. Right? Isn't the real issue the quality and speed of the clocking that occurs within a switch?  The noise is certainly an issue and also is worthy ... 
Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet?
Sns, you wrote about in one of your other posts about using a server with a incoming Port and an outgoing port versus the traditional Single ethernet cable that involves a 2 directional flow. I hope I’m getting that correctly. I’m trying to under... 
Nucleus, is there a better alternative?
Sns, That’s one hell of an answer thank you. I thought it eliminated noise to a degree. So if you have a really really good Ethernet cable then maybe that accomplishes the same thing. And the shorter the better. Also, looking into an audiograde... 
Does remote control degrade the sound of tube preamps?
It's my understanding the incito s from aires cerat does not offer standby functionality. So it's not a fully functional remote. I believe the Power switche is on the back. very disappointing way to design something. Think of all the people who us... 
Does remote control degrade the sound of tube preamps?
It’s like buying a multilevel house when you’re 70 where it’s very possible you won’t be able to reach the second floor at some point. Even an injury with a recovery period Will totally disrupt your life. So if you’re going to buy a preamp and ha... 
Does remote control degrade the sound of tube preamps?
ARC reference preamps are totally inappropriate for home theater use since they are on most of the time during the day and they have so many damn tubes. You’ll be chasing tubes every 12 months if not more. Yeah I saw the Home theater bypass butto... 
Does remote control degrade the sound of tube preamps?
VAC , Cary, aires cerat, and many others, fall very short not providing a fully functional remote. To not have a remote that controls standby. Volume and input selection is a major major disappointment. For the money people are spending on these p... 
Soulution 725 or Robert Koda Takumi k10?
What distinguishes the INCITO S PREAMPLIFIER from a Conrad Johnson preamplifier, and vtl, and audio research?  
Best XLRs under $500 a pair
Mogami Gold it's probably the best for the price it's not very expensive. XLR cables don't get much better the more you spend. Recording studios use mogami.
