| Questions about Ethernet Cabling @arafiq 1. I wouldn’t worry about replacing the long CAT6 cable inside the wall. I would focus on isolating the noise and using a good quality LAN cable like Supra CAT 8 between the wall plate and ENO switch. This cable is excellent for the mone... | |
| Aurender N20 Music Server Comments and Observations @jimmy2615 Thanks for your input. I agree with you, you're are not taking full advantage of N20 strengths if you're only using its USB output. The N20 is a superb streamer and it clearly excels in terms of low frequency extension and slam over i... | |
| Aurender N20 Music Server Comments and Observations @jimmy2615 How do you like N200? How does N200 compares with N20? I did not experience any 'heat' issues with N20 as I had mine on a open shelf. | |
| To DAC or not to DAC ? +1, @ghdprentice. Sooner or later, you will be back here asking for alternatives for Node 2. I suggest a high quality balanced preamp with internal DAC and Streamer. This will save you headaches and simply your setup. You need something like Aur... | |
| How does the Aurender s10 compare with a more modern streamer? Long time Aurender user (N100, N10, ACS100 and N20)....buy S10 only if Aurender still supporting S10 with latest updates, otherwise pick up a used N10 which is superior than Lumin U1 and Auralic G1. | |
| Network Switches @david_ten Agreed, high quality DC cables are equally important in grand scheme of things. I am quite pleased with my JCAT LPS and DC cables powering my Telegartner M12 Ethernet switch. | |
| Network Switches @richruss,I concur with your assessment and importance of using a high quality power supply with Ethernet switch. Would you please share which network switch you’re using and any other filters in your setup? | |

| Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced? @musicaddict The brightness you are referring to was long addressed and eliminated in D2 series. I wasn’t too thrilled with D3 series (aesthetically) but D4 technical enhancements and aesthetics are quite tempting to resist the ownership of D4 spe... | |

| Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced? Are they expensive, not to me when you compare them with the competition. There is lot of R&D, labor (UK not China) and distribution cost not to mention dealers mark ups. Fortunately, there are plenty of bargains available in all segments of H... | |
| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 @arafiq,Thanks for sharing your impressions. Both 30.1 and BE's are great speakers. If you ever get a chance, audition the TAD's Micro Evolution One speakers. They remain as my top pick for a bookshelf speaker system. Cheers! | |
| Budget High Current Power Cords @williewonka,Great response to zenk! | |
| Zavfino @sdl4,By no means, Fusion is a bright sounding cable. If you feel your current cables lacks bit of top end details then Fusion will add touch of 'sparkle' without being edgy or bright. As @thyname stated above, PC-OCC is currently the purest coppe... | |
| Zavfino @sdl4,In my system, Arcadia leaned towards warmer presentation whereas Fusion had more balanced sound. With Arcadia, you get the warmth of copper and top end sparkle synonymous with silver conductors. Since my system already has a slightly warmer ... |
