I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming
Hi @cleeds ,  I first heard the Switch X at CAF.  GTT's room sounded better than most, even with modest equipment.  I was then able to demo the Switch X in my home.  Having it in my system and then not for a bit was revealing.

Hi @carlsbad2 ,  I will retract 'snarky'!  Would love to hear a Lampi DAC like yours in my system.  I see we both share the Grimm.  Have you seen GTT's  internal MU1 modification  with a new Realization ethernet cable?  Bill states it is an easily...

@lalitk , +1 on the LinkUp 22g cat 8 cable.  I had initially run Supra cat 8 (my runs are about 40 feet) and the LinkUp is better.  I got this from you a bit ago, thanks! Reasonable cost also from Amazon.

@carlsbad2 said: There may be other options but this thread is about modems.   That snarky remark was inappropriate and obtuse.  I  have ventured down the road of a better and new Modem, and like others, stayed with (in my situation) a Verizon...

Hi @lalitk !  I have the Muon Pro filter just before my streamer.  I too love the M12 gold.  Adding the Switch X and keeping the M12 is the bomb!

Internet service certainly varies and customer services is a thing of the past. That being said, my G3100 Modem delivers over 800 mps with my Verizon gigabit service.  I run it with a good linear power supply and have no wall warts in my computer ... 
Speaker Cables : Moderate priced
For long runs consider making them from Furutech FS Alpha 36 from VH Audio.  I did this using gold plated Furutech spades and they sound very good.  
Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find?
Like most of us, I started with average components and cheap cables.  After getting a few nicer components, I tried more expensive cables.  More expensive meant Blue Jeans, cheap good deals on random cables, etc.  These did improve things and made... 
Magico vs the world
Happy owner of YG Haileys here.  Very revealing and dynamic, allowing one to freely upgrade every little thing and hear the improvements.  I disagree with negative comments about their bass.  I think it is great for the size of the drivers, and ac... 
New Amp... Is it time to switch my speaker cables??
Prior to my K-S Elation I had all Audience AU24SX.  I had thought them smooth and revealing.  The Elation were just as smooth and revealing bu much meatier in the midrange and bass.  Smooth across the entire spectrum.  I sold all of my Audience to... 
New Amp... Is it time to switch my speaker cables??
Hi @williewonka  Silver cables tend to be very detailed, but they can sound warm also. In my experience silver (speaker) cables are bright not dull.  I have very resolving equipment, as I imagine the Krell is, and like all copper cables. @que... 
REL 12" Carbon vs JL Audio 12" Fathom
Hello @gdfein ,  Still loving my 2 pairs, one Carbon Limiteds and one Carbon Specials.  Once dialed in they disappear and make everything better.  I did move them around a bit, one pair is run with REL wireless, the other wired.  They are not in '... 
Thinking of upgrading speakers from ProAc 3.8 I have enjoyed in my system for 23 years.
Hello @jsbail Three is a nice looking pair of K8's on USA.  I would by them if I was speaker shopping!  
Advice needed: It's time for a new DAC
Hello @bigfatpaulie,  lots of good advice here!  @ghdprentice is always spot on. I have had a friend's Dave in for direct comparison to my MM Tambaqui.  He sold the Dave and got a Tambaqui if that tells our story.  It sounds great buy it self wit...
