ETHERNET CABLES
Is it a figment of my imagination? Yes!!! And that is ok! Like stated numerous times, there is no theoretical or practical improvement. It is in your mind. And that is 100% ok.     I would hope that people would get past the, "it’s just 1’s...

@nonoise I don’t know to laugh out loud or cry at your level of ignorance, but first, I am not trying to offend anyone. Second, what happened with your analogy with cable tv vs Blu-ray? Facts didn’t line up with your world view?   cables do mak... 
ETHERNET CABLES
@soix  I have tried “audiophile” Ethernet cables, I have tried UpTone’s Etherregen, and I have not heard any difference. Normally for my system I have Cat6A in the wall, and Cat6A from the wall to my NAD M50.2, but due to a renovation project, I a... 
ETHERNET CABLES
@nonoise   My post was deleted when I asked you put up any evidence for your point. Regardless, there is no evidence for this. I've posted several links showing why noise in ethernet is a non-issue for residential applications.    And you analo... 
ETHERNET CABLES
@cleeds  Never said so, but what I did say was there is no theoretical improvement from going crazy and using fiberoptic and other crazy things for a 10 ft run in a residential applications. Simply put, if you hear an improvement, you are making ... 
ETHERNET CABLES
@nonoise  Like I thought, you have no relevant experience or knowledge.  You could have put up, and you could not, and you continue to make a fool out of yourself by not shutting up. Again - "Show one example of where noise enters the any device... 
ETHERNET CABLES
@nonoise  22+ years of experience in the field of computer networking is informing that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Show one example of where noise enters the any device in a residential setting via a 10ft ethernet cab... 
Low buzzing through speaks
I would assume so, but I am certainly not an expert on gain matching, or McIntosh.   
ETHERNET CABLES
@nonoise the irony with your name…. Lol. but to your comment, there are literally people in this post saying that they went from muddled mess with 44/16 streaming and voila new cable and its pristine 44/16 streaming. and there is an extremely ...

@kingbr here is the Shane Lee video I mentioned. Relevant section is about 5 minutes in “noise floor”,     
ETHERNET CABLES
I find it amazing that someone thinks that their 10ft cable at home can clean up a stream from thousands of miles away.   But, hey, each to their own, doesn’t matter that empirical evidence shows Ethernet cables do absolutely nothing, and it is n...

Not to point out the obvious or anything, but you didn’t have this issue with the Marantz, but do with the Mac, sooooo, it is the mac. Many others have documented this, take a look and Jay’s audio lab on YouTube, or Shane Lee’s Trinnov reviews, bo... 
Order of importance and budget percentages
I would go 50 to 60% speakers, 30 - 35% on Pre/power/integrated/sources, that should leave about 15% at least for room treatment, and maybe 5% for cables and power conditioning. Don’t spend more than $10 on Ethernet. Uptone and other products are ... 
Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet?
@sns thats what it is about right? It is a hobby, so have fun with it!   
Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet?
@sns  the point why I am recommending enterprise grade equipment is due to consistent and predictable performance. It’s been tested over and over again and the support from the company and reputation of the company is behind it. but like you said...
