Power supply for ethernet switch?
Hello @kingbr , I do understand.  And some years ago I would have said the exact same thing :)  I do have a suggestion; before buying the fibre conversion stuff, try a Tempus on 30 day trial.  You may be surprised at what you hear!  And, as I foun... 
Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers
Congrats @deadhead1000 , You should listen to the Vivid Giya's.  
Power supply for ethernet switch?
Hello @mclinnguy , great question. I bought the M12 and Optimo a few years ago.  Later, NA came out with the Tempus and I had talked with Rich at NA about it, so I wanted to try it.  I bought it with a 30 day trial.  I think they are very compara... 
Power supply for ethernet switch?
Hello @kingbr , Like you I came from a Netgear switch.  I upgraded to the English Electric Bonn 8 and also an EtherRegen.  While I think these helped, it was marginal.  I sold both and bought a JCAT M12 Gold switch and oh my nice upgrade.  Then I... 
REL Habitat needs a new amplifier board
Hello @fitzrobert , Parts Express has their Dayton subwoofer amplifiers at very reasonable prices: https://www.parts-express.com/search?keywords=subwoofer%20amplifie&order=relevance:desc Likely less than repairing an old one.  
Do you prefer tall speakers
I think speaker height is relative to room height and listening position.  I have two systems.  Downstairs is my reference and I sit on a couch 8 feet from my gear.  The ceiling is 7 feet.  Here, a speaker can be too tall.  Upstairs, I have a grea...

Speaker Jumper/Link Cables - Best Ones? Nordost Valhalla, Tara Labs Omega Evolution OR..
Wouldn’t it be the ones made out of the same wire as your main speaker cables?  
What’s up with Roon search?
There is a search feature in Roon where you can check ‘prefer Qobuz’ or ‘prefer Tidal’, but they both show up prioritized in the list.  
Zavfino and Neotech OCC Interconnect
Has anyone compared Acoustic Zen Matrix Ref II vs Cerious Technologies Graphene Matrix RCA Interconnects?  Both can be had here for about $500 used or refurbished.  The thought  would be to upgrade my Zafvino Arcadia RCA interconnects in my vacati... 
Good USB C Cable
One thing to keep in mind is that often a USB C input is very limited in space around it.  Many adapters do not fit, simply due to their width.  
If you HAD to purchase a used (over 4 years old) DAC, what would it be?
Many great choices here.  Mola Mola Tambaqui is still superb, but has not dropped in price too much.  
Marantz NR1200 with Emotiva BasX A-300
Hello @ajiayalur,  I see the Emotiva has a 12v trigger, but I do not see a trigger output on the Marantz.  Does it have one?  If so you need a 12v trigger wire connected. (usually a  mini phono plug, but needs to be specific for stereo or mono as ...
