Will a high quality preamp really make a difference in sound?? Also speaker cable
Pre amps will sound different. I have had a few different preamps and they all measured and sounded different. Speaker cables not so much. I have some modest cables that are well built and sturdy. I have had many cables throughout the years and no... 
Power supply to modem make a difference?
No. How could it make a sonic impact?  
Does USB cable length make a diference?
Power cords are different. Longer the better. 2 meter being the preferred length. I was able to test a one and two meter of the exact same model on my power amp... it was very obvious. As my dealer says, "Twice the length, twice the power conditio...

@teajay ,   Nice review--I am not in the market for new speakers, but if I were, I would make note of these ones. Cheers,

BS meter is pegged!
Yes, I have experimented with Power Cables and found zero sonic impact. I even ran an experiment using ultra sensitive photon counting equipment--The "expensive" PC made NO difference. Just admit it that the audio world is surrounded by this bunk ... 
BS meter is pegged!
@cleeds. I would love to be tucked in and read a bedtime story.  but Devinplombier has a great point. Audio is filled with this fancy language to help sell it's products. Here is an example from a Power Cable manufacturer--"X company proprietary ... 
Bluesound Node versions SQ
@moonwatcher  I whole heartedly agree with your premise but most of the folks on this site believe that they can hear an audible difference if three stones are placed on top of their  amplifier instead of two. Measurements do not mean anything--0... 
Upcoming Bluesound Icon Node vs other well known and good sounding DAC/streamers
Well--That's not that bad considering the S1 is $12,000 and the Icon is $1000. Cheers..  
Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords?
@audphile1  I think you are reading the results wrong. The cable tests were unfiltered (No AC filtration). I used the filtered and unfiltered tests to prove that AC filtration is measurable (Albeit very small but measurable difference). The PC di...
