| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @jumia You are correct, better clocking and jitter control are equally as important. Once again, its one of those things in the hobby that once you hear it, or better stated, once you "don't hear" the negative effects of noise/clocking/jitter... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @fredrik222 Thank you for the thoughtful reply. What you explain clearly in layman’s terms is appreciated.

| Help me choice Audioquest speaker cables What cables are you currently utilizing and what are you trying to achieve/address/solve? The additional information you just provided is helpful as would any room/tonal preferences or challenges you may be experiencing. | |
| Help me choice Audioquest speaker cables @farne230 Listen to your dealer, especially if he/she will allow a no obligation home demo. Those who say cables/wires make no difference just haven’t experienced a meaningful difference in their system or they can’t understand why a spec... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @goofyfoot Anyone have an opinion on the Ether Regen from Uptone Audio? Enjoyed my Ether Regen for several years. A really well thought out product: a reasonable audiophile switch with reasonable ethernet "cleansing". Depending on your eth... | |
| arc ref5-se Its been up off and on for like four years! I have a friend who tried to buy it quite a while ago..."oh it just sold". How many zombie ads are like this one? | |
| arc ref5-se The Ref5SE is an exceptional pre-amp. The albertsportis listing on Audiogon has been running on a loop for about the past 150 years. Don't go by that one. They come up on occasion and sell quickly. | |
