| Questions about Ethernet Cabling ...network repeaters suffer from high and amplified noise levels ... Wifi is inferior to fiber or ethernet Unfortunately, I have no option; it has to be wifi to streamer. With something like a TP-Link AC2600, I can connect via Ethernet cable. ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I have received a heavily modded LKS DA-004. Haven't had a chance to listen to it as yet, but understand it is worth the wait. | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling I have to stream via wifi to my system. A friend suggested using a wifi extender, then plugging via ethernet to my streamer. A better option than the wifi signal? | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses I don’t really care too much for the ’properties’ of the fuses. What I am interested in is their effect on my system. In each instance, they have been an improvement. Stock to SR Black for my amp. Stock to SR Red for my Dac. Then SR Red to... | |
| A Denon compact system with Mission speakers, from the past, and my past. I bought my mother-in-law the Denon UD M30 a number of years ago. They came with Denon speakers, so swapped them for my Mission M71 speakers. Quite a nice wee system. Also bought one for a friend a number of years later. | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? I am angry, I am ill and I'm as ugly as sin. My irritability keeps me alive and kicking... Magazine | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses No matter what the nay sayers say, I know what I've heard when getting SR Black fuses for my amp, then SR Red for my Dac, and then SR Orange for my amp and Dac. The SR Purple are next for me. And btw, I don't need saving. My money, my hobby, ... | |
| Your experience with an inexpensive DAC? Also have some friends recommend SMSL M400. I was looking at that compared to a Gustard A22. A close call. Settled instead on an extensively modded LKS DA-004. Will keep one of the SEG Dacs, and sell the other. | |
| Have you ever been turned off by an Arrogant Dealer? Thoughts When I go to dealers it's on my days off, so I'm in my shorts and scruffy gear. They dismiss me as though I can't afford anything in their shop. | |
| Your experience with an inexpensive DAC? A relatively unknown Dac in the US. But reasonably well thought of in the UK. I have two of them, both modded with super caps and updated clocks. Beresford Seg. (Not well thought of by Audio Science Review, but I pay little mind to that in my ... | |
| Audience SX2/Front Row Cables...has anyone tried or heard much of this new reference line? I have a pair of Audience AU24SX RCA interconnects. Combined with lots of grief from my family on the purchase. Awesome improvement. Not in a hurry to change, as my sales speech was these were 'end-game' cables. Contacted the distributor regard... | |
| How do you decide what your next upgrade will be? Although when looking at big changes? Dac first, then speakers, then power cables, then interconnects. It came down to what changes woud make the most improvements to my system. | |
| How do you decide what your next upgrade will be? Funds dependent. Depends on availability as well, living in a remote 240v country. I have a list of things I want to purchase. Slowly progress on these. i.e. A modded HiFi router is on it. | |
| Streaming 101 Have just begun on the streaming route. A Pro-Ject Stream Box S2 Ultra, which is plugged into my Dac. Have a USB flash drive plugged in with my few Hi Res albums. A hard drive with my burned CD collection. Have listened to the Hi Res fil... | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? I've been using my MacBook Pro as my source for a few years. Used a USB/SPIDF converter to convert the USB to coax to go into my Dac. Was pretty happy with that setup. |
