WhestTHREE signature phono pre vs. ModWright PH 9.0X
@paulietunes  Thank you…some folks just feel compelled to post. My recommendation was based on OP’s preference for,  “What I like: wide soundstage, incredible mid-range, detail, some warmth”.   And Konus delivers on all of the above in spades.   
WhestTHREE signature phono pre vs. ModWright PH 9.0X
@mmcgill829  The Vinyle comes in three different performance and price tiers.    
WhestTHREE signature phono pre vs. ModWright PH 9.0X
May I recommend Konus Audio Vinyle 300MC. Reach out to Colin @gestalt for in-home demo. I heard this phono for extended period and came away impressed by its sheer musicality and resolution. I am putting together my vinyl setup and this would be m... 
Vitus RI-101 mkII cables recommendation
I suggest you look into Acoustic Revive or Combak’s HIJIRI cables. Both of these brands should mate with Vitus much better than Nordost. And I would start with PC first, then IC and speaker cable unless you can afford to buy them together.   
Advice on how to liquidate system
@jl1ny  I am sorry to hear about your hearing loss. I am with those in favor of not selling your gear until you have exhausted all the options out there to restore your hearing. If your mind is made up to sell your gear, then reach out to TMR aud... 
Fee for home audition
“5% of purchase price is what the folks over at The Cable Co charge and will apply the rental fee towards any future cable purchase. Quite a good deal all in all.” Not in my opinion, 5% retention means now you’re obligated to make a purchase from... 
Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like"
@thyname  Thanks for posting your impressions. I must admit that your unique solution, the adapter on one end of SDFB definitely peaked my interest. I wasn’t too keen on adding a garden variety pigtail in the signal chain. You know the PC’s in my... 
Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality
“I personally do not believe going from 100 MBPS to Gigabit makes much difference for audio at all.” @thyname My experience tells me otherwise. Did you ever try to stream a DXD/DSD files over your network with 100Mbps speed? @mitch2 If your ... 
Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality
@thyname I can’t say I’m surprised with Muon Pro transformation in your high resolution system. With all the high praises, I am also tempted to test Muon Pro against my Telegartner M12 Gold switch. One thing I just learned (after reading your co... 
Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like"
@gladmo Thanks for sharing and very informative write up indeed. I am with @thyname, as promising this thing sounds or performs, it isn’t something I would pursue either.

Ethernet opinions
@shtr74sims  Once you sort out the 25 FT long LAN cable quandary, read up on posts by @audphile1, @grannyring and few others who are using Network Acoustics Muon Pro Kit for next level improvements with your network. There are many other tweaks t... 
notable consolidation possibility, should I or not?
“7 day evaluation window for a full refund.” You will know by end of 7th day trial if 340i X floats your boat or not. I would take the leap if you’re truly looking to consolidate. I also downsized from a pre, amp and a phono 3 years ago to a Accu...

Ethernet opinions
+1, @audphile1 @shtr74sims As you said in one of your posts, “seems the only way really is for someone to try it on their own”. Fortunately, you do own a component that will allow you to hear even a slightest change. The LINKUP cable I recomme...
