Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ
@mathiasmingus there is a very simple answer to your question, and it is the only answer, adding a switch in the chain can only deteriorate, it can never under any circumstance enhance. It is absolutely impossible and anyone telling you differen...

New power conditioner, potentially trying some different cables over my Kimber, and maybe move to a more serious TT from my current Uturn. also buying a vacation home, so need a whole new system there!

@badgerdms Every network engineer suddenly also becomes an expert in psychoacoustics   you are 100% right, even though you probably don’t understand it. Psychoacoustics is the perfect description, you hear a difference because you want to, it ...

@tonywinga a clown is a clown. You have never owned anyone in your entire life.  
Testing Ethernet switch
@jeffrey125 if you look at your system, you can summarize it as “meh”. That is at least what the reviewers of the components you own has said. “Meh”. on the flip side, my system, every single component has an average review of “details! Transpare... 
I’m looking for an sleek integrated amp under $15k
supposedly the technics r1000 is fantastic.    https://www.audioadvice.com/technics-su-r1000-stereo-integrated-amplifier-silver?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADRzHk-pMUtDWDGUrgEBIqDo1Y-F0&gclid=Cj0KCQiAsvWrBhC0ARIsAO4E6f-7Gsu8A3_mgLl7... 
Does it bother you when you see inflated MSRP’s for used gear on AG?
Lots of people do this.the way I view it is that either they were scammed when they bought it, or they are looking for someone to prey on.    what bother me more is people bragging about their systems and using jacked up prices to illustrate how ... 
New classe delta preamp and classe stereo amp?
@duketbrd88 yep, I am aware of it that you can, but I’d like glass so you can see it, since it is a pretty piece.    I have not pulled off the front grill, but maybe I will do. just for reference, the fan doesn’t register on a spl meter.  
Nowhere to hear speakers and amps anymore!

New classe delta preamp and classe stereo amp?
@oldaudiophile  it is my stack, and yeah, I need to find the right rack that supports airflow, but blocks the fan noise. I have not been able to find anything yet, and like I said once I start playing music it doesn’t bother me.   on a side note... 
New classe delta preamp and classe stereo amp?

New classe delta preamp and classe stereo amp?
@duketbrd88  I have the Delta Pre and Stereo, and they are amazing with my Audiovector R3s. I can however hear the fan when nothing is playing or during silent passages. It still bothers me when I turn everything on, and I have been thinking abou... 
Bluesound "upgrade" 4.0
Had a few issues with v4.0 with my NAD M50.2, but v4.05 seems that have resolved the issues. And I like the upgrade, the blueos iPad app actually looks nice now.  
Bowers & Wilkins 801D4 Signature
@travelinjack yeah, I love them, but the temptation to upgrade is always there, but I don’t think my room can handle larger speakers.  
Bowers & Wilkins 801D4 Signature
I have heard both, and thinking about moving to the regular version from my Audiovector R3, I did hear a difference, but not enough to make up for the price in my opinion. Now, that could have been because the regular was driven by a Classe delta ...
