| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Hello @mdalton! I am merely stating that I, like many others, walked into streaming and slowly upgraded many things. FOR ME, the Ether Regen was hot and did some but not a lot to improve the sound. The Bonn 8 made me feel more 'audiophile', but... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Hi @mitch2 , I had similar experiences with the Bonn 8. Not so with better switches; The GTT Audio Switch X, the JCAT M12 (mine is the gold) and the Network Acoustics Tempus switches are all quite superior and have, in my system and to my ears,... | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ +1 @f208frank . I had the Tempus in my system for some time and it is excellent. Another nice product from Network Acoustics. I have their Muon filter also. | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? but @jji666 it sounds better. it does. you do not have to enjoy better sound. | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers I heard their big room and their small room with the small ones ( ? X1s) at CAF. They certainly are impressive and incisive, but hurt my ears after a bit. Maybe their electronics and their speakers together, but a bit too much for me. | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? It is interesting how we are so skeptical of the whys and hows of a better sounding streamer, or for that matter anything in the digital front end. Sure implementation and components and software make a difference. But when it comes to better ... | |
| 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. | |
| I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming 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... | |
| I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming @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. | |
| I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming @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... | |
| I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming 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! | |
| I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming 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... |
