Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West?
@juanmanuelfangioii  None taken! It's all good my friend.

@juanmanuelfangioii You completely missed the point of my post. I have no qualms about how anyone choose to spend their money or their personal preferences / priorities for vinyl or digital. Peace! @facten - Thank you!

Opinions before purchasing
A room that size, all you need is SONOS Bar on wall and SONOS Sub. Why clutter the space with bulky speakers/electronics. I have been using a SONOS soundbar / sub (3.1) for 10 plus years in a similar space for movies and music. Never felt the need... 
SkyfiAudio
“When purchasing from Skyfi, I’m confident that any issues have been sorted and addressed in manner consistent with the original design and intent.” Now that’s a mouthful, given their operating model is no different than a pawn shop.

“Although the iFi Zen Stream seems to be a relative bargain for the sound quality per $, I have to say their customer support is ass. ” @soix  That’s sad but expected at those bargain bin prices. That’s why it’s just as important to select a str... 
What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”?

Sternklang Cables
@cd45123  I have not and quite honestly I was waiting to see if he ever going to manufacturer RCA or XLR Interconnects….well more than a year later, still nothing!   
Busted! Reviewer copies manufacturers sales page in review?
Nothing new here…I see those exact words often repeated in describing the sound of many products so no big deal for me…the reviewer did listen to the cable as @facten pointed out. That’s all anyone could hope for from these reviewers who are often...

What is the best non-conditioning surge protector
@stevebohnii  After reading your last two posts here, your system will remain seriously compromised and won’t sound best if you don’t fix the foundation of your system. If you plan on using a power distributor/surge protector/conditioner or whate... 
Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up
“I cannot hear it in my system then it provides no value to me.” @mitch2  I couldn’t agree with you anymore. There are so many variables in play when it comes to digital streaming. No two setups are alike, so experimenting from plethora of optio... 
Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up
@mitch2 As with anything else in Audio, the quality of switch and implementation matters, not to mention the upstream components (like streamer, DAC and so on). I do not know what is your exact setup but I’m using a very high quality switch in m... 
Sternklang Cables
@grannyring Thanks for posting the Wikipedia link. Inspiration can come from anywhere, as I recall reading about naming of Shindo Labs electronics few years back. Late Mr. Ken Shindo named each of his devices after French wineries and wine-growi...
