Chi-Fi in the Time of Self-Righteous Indignation.
The snowflake factor among some of you guys is beyond epic. Reporting my post to admin is pathetic…whatever, I could care less. Nevertheless It does not detract from the fact that this chi-fi nonsense is some ridiculous woke B.S.    
Warm airy musical speakers?
Sonus Farber do have that luxurious sound but fwiw, I had SF then made the move to ProAc and never looked back.  
Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music
I’ve been fighting with room acoustics and a REL T9x for over a month. I was at the point of selling it until I went completely against the set up recommendations and moved it out of the corner, raised it onto a 1” granite slab and decoupled it wi...

Questions about Ethernet Cabling
@sns Ahh, yes audiophile quality…the thought did cross my mind but no such luck finding one on Amazon Prime. Just for fun if I can find one with a home trial/full refund I’d give it a go. Looking forward, I’m really interested to see what Elon Mus... 
Questions about Ethernet Cabling
FWIW: I had to investigate this ethernet switch business for myself so I picked up 2 gigabit switches on Amazon, $14- 8 TP-Link TL-SG125, $176- Cisco cbs110-24T. My router is a TP AC1900 which has it’s own gigabit ports. Ethernet cable is Supra CA...

Uptone Audio EtherREGEN review
I’m open minded to most things Hi-Fi but I was pretty skeptical from jump street about a switch being able to noticeably improve sound quality. I was reluctantly about to get the etherREGEN until I watched the Audio science review. Now I’d really ... 
Any recommendations for aftermarket C-7 power cord for Bluesound Node 2i
I used Cullen C-7…very nice. Also, if your not doing it already, go with ethernet directly into the Node2i.
