What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly?
@1971gto455ho  What the hell did I do? At the very least when you're swiping back with low blows, get the right person. Duh. And even with no education (according to you) I can spell properly.  ...as there all the newest and best ever...  
ATC SCM 40 question
I've built my system based on limited space. A cupboard 600x550x420mm with four shelves, including Blu-Ray player. System has to be hidden from sight, with no 'ugly' cables. I use the Mad Scientist Black Magic USB cable. Very good.  
ATC SCM 40 question
@moomalade74  I love my ATCs. End game speakers for me. I ran mine in for 150 hours when I got them. Had them on loop when I went to work, dodging people at home. I used to have QED Silver Anniversary speakers cables. Very bright. Have you cons... 
Basic switch....should I upgrade?
I’ve read lots. Reviews. Audio forums. Watched a few Youtube videos as well. The people I want to listen to say yes.   I tend to ignore the likes of Cakehole. He says no. Old school. He tells us to stand in the corner.

@firstonetallguy  I've recently upgraded Dac, added a streamer, modded network switches. I'm going to buy some Triode Wire Labs 'Freedom' ethernet cables.    
ATC SCM 40 question
@moomalade74  I know the feeling. Bought the SCM19v2, as that was all that was allowed. You're right, they do like a bit of power to really let loose. Were the SCM40s new? How long have you broken them in for?  
The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts.
@nutty  I have a friend who has a masterful system. He offered advice regarding DC fuses for linear power supplies. His findings, from a range of SR fuses red/blue/orange/purple is that the best fuses he found for LPS were HiFi Tuning Supreme. I... 
The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts.
Sorry @nutty  I haven't had my system up for 10 months, and have made many changes in that time. When I get it up and running next month, the differences will not only be in the fuses... (Dac, streamer, ethernet, network switches, power treatme... 
The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts.
I have gone from SR Black to Orange to Purple on my amp. SR Red to Orange to Purple on my Dac. Gave them 250-300 hours running in each time.    
Basic switch....should I upgrade?
Bought a cheap switch Cisco SG110D-08 on EBay UK. Getting a clock installed for this by fidelityaudio.co.uk Sent to me (not in the UK). Way cheaper than any other option I could see for an audiophile switch.   Also bought a Cisco 2960 and was... 
Roon Nucleus as a Streamer
Last month I bought an inexpensive Intel Nuc to use as a Roon core. If house layout was different, I would have used my MacBook.  
Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up
@audphile1  Unfortunately I will never know. My system has been down for almost a year. In that time I have bought: a Dac, streamer, two modded switches, three fuses, three LPS, Add Powr products, Akiko Audio products, DC cables for LPS, USB/SP... 
Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up
I've bought a cheap switch (Cisco SG110D-08) and getting a low jitter clock installed.  
Point of diminishing returns for a Network Streamers?
I finally swapped my Macbook Pro for a Project Stream Box S2 Ultra. It's been noted that by design (John Westlake), an LPS is not necessary. If your Mac is old enough, it will have an ethernet port.  
UE Megaboom 3, JBL Flip 5, JBL Charge 3 or SRS XB2?!
I have a UE Megaboom. It's good for playing music, but not really for listening.
