Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
I have never said or implied anything that would be suggestive of a high degree of correlation between cable performance and cable price, when it comes to ethernet cables. And in fact several of the improvements I and a number of others have r... 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
@jinjukuIMO, whether Ethernet cable a factor is function to DAC buffer size.  Bigger the buffer, less factor.  Ideally DAC buffers the whole album, then anything before the DAC is not a factor ... play back from memory.     Companies probably maki... 
LPS for Verizon Fios Router
Where did you end up getting it? Acoustics Sounds.  Hi-Fi Heaven also has 1 in stock as of last Thurs.   No brainer if streaming music through the router.

Had Sbooster in system for 4+ days now.  It removes edgy/brittle with a more analog liquid sound.   Nice upgrade!

Timbernation Platform Problems
My 2" solid Maple finished rack arrived last week.   Very satisfied with the quality, workmanship and communication.Just beware there are 2 sides to every story ...  I can only imagine dealing with some of the illogical trolls on this site.

Synergestic Black Fuse vs Audio Magic BeesWax
Call me lucky, I'm happy with full loom of SR Blue fuses.  I was using full loom of SR Black for years until Blues were introduced.   So tell me, what doesn't age except for the GOAT Tom Brady?? 
Synergestic Black Fuse vs Audio Magic BeesWax
Shadorne Well your experience suggests that what you regard as high level components don’t appear to be all that reliable and robust. It depends on your definition of high level - does it mean high fidelity (in which case a mere fuse should no... 
Synergestic Black Fuse vs Audio Magic BeesWax
ShadorneBTW If ever a fuse made a difference then it is time to throw out the pos component. Why keep something so badly designed that a fuse makes an audible difference? Yup. You got it. Even a basic well made power supply is not going to c... 
Ethernet Cable

Ethernet Cable
I replaced all AQs with Supra CAT8 and after 50+ hours, system sounds excellent.  Everything is system dependent and Supra CAT8 just works very well in my system. Difference is obvious and don't need struggle to hear the improvements. 
LPS for Verizon Fios Router
