| A SHOCKING DISCOVERY ABOUT DIGITAL AUDIO Clickbait, and in upper case too. You got me. | |
| To extend Ethernet to remote location, are Powerline extenders or Mesh systems better? Over the years I’ve had two sets of Powerlines, and they’ve worked, but are limited. I never used powerline while I had a high-end hifi. Therefore, I would question how a high frequency powerline signal on your mains might affect your hifi compo... | |

| Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality? If the cable is Duelund, then the quality remains the same, but the sound signature changes. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/duelund-speaker-cable Duelund compared I prefer the 16 over the 12. Others don't. I do wonder, however, whethe... | |
| "Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time? The most lavish power cord in my system is Furutech DPS 4.1 for my amp. Can't say it made a difference. The other cords are either Belden 83803, or Supra LoRad, which are all good enough. Decent shielded metal is more than enough. What I woul... | |
| FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M) I'd recommended either Supra LoRad 2.5 SPC CS or Belden, so long as it's well shielded with the shield earthed. I really don't see much point in spending more. MS HD power make great plugs. Easy to wire up with plenty of room in the UK wall plug... | |
| Duelund speaker cable @alexberger . My impression so far, after a day with the 16 is that the 12's bass is fuller, softer and a little slower. There appears to me a tighter faster, more textured bass with the 16s. For my system the balance of the 16s is spot on. The Go... | |
| Duelund speaker cable Thanks @vinylvalet . Can I ask if you've tried it? What advice I've found on this subject indicates that the Duelund cables are at their best when single-wired. | |
| Innuos 2.3.0 update - USB latency mode change @nomorelandings It's odd you raise the issue of connectivity because before the 2.3.0 my one main bugbear with the Android Sense app was that it frequently had to relocate the server. Often this would take a minute or so. And now, with 2.3.0,... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @thieliste Ha! I've just noticed my typo. It was actually the FTLF1318P3BTL I bought. However, I do value tone and sweet midrange over detail, so will keep my eye out for used 1324P2BTL. Thanks again. | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers Just a quick note to @thieliste . I took your recommendation of the Finisar 1321. Got a very good price used on eBay. They've definitely improved upon the SFPs which came with my optical kit, and now feeds my EtherRegen. | |
| Innuos 2.3.0 update - USB latency mode change Hi @jimintally The route is: System => Settings => Audio => (the cog icon for the target DAC) => USB Latency Mode is half way down | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @lalitk , @charles1dad I'm completely in agreement. The original recording and/or remastering is far more important than the resolution. A great example is Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young. Qobuz has two versions of it: a CD-re... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers Hi @sns Just a point regarding the EtherRegen running hot. I’m no electrical engineer, and it’s 3 decades since I completed my physics, but I would expect the higher voltage to generate less heat. If we assume power requirements to be constant,... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers I have just placed an ADOT FMC in front of my EtherRegen. It feeds into the ER's SFP socket, with Ethernet out of the ER's B port The effect has been transformative, as significant as the original introduction of the ER - maybe even more so. It s... |
