| Coax Internet Cable: If I have to build one, what am I looking for exactly? Coax may be well insulated and shielded, but these cable companies manage to send noise thru the lines. | |
| Coax Internet Cable: If I have to build one, what am I looking for exactly? Could be the connection from the FIOS box. I shouldn't have said "where the coax enters the house," I forgot about the Verizon hookup. I detect RFI in the coax line as it travels from basement to first floor. I'm using a small RFI detector with a... | |

| Coax Internet Cable: If I have to build one, what am I looking for exactly? Call or email this company and ask if this filter will work with your setup. Link to follow. I'm now using a Brickwall surge protector with RFI/EMI filtering and have my router and desktop plugged in. | |
| Coax Internet Cable: If I have to build one, what am I looking for exactly? @oldhvymec No, I didn't hear noise. But I used an RF "sniffer" which indicated high levels of RF at the coax entry point to the house, on the coax line along the floor, and at the router. After filtering, testing indicated no RF anywhere. When li... | |
| So much music that we never hear! Today in radio I notice that no matter what station I listen to I keep hearing the same few songs over and over again. Even station that advertise as being different formats all play the same loops. They run commercials all at the same time and e... | |
| Coax Internet Cable: If I have to build one, what am I looking for exactly? The lines from the cable, sat, etc companies carry a high amount of RFI. Even if your new coax provides improved sound, the same amount of noise is being carried to your system. Add an RFI filter to your hookup. I use a RFI/EMI filter on my router... | |
| Why do all Mahler recordings seem too bright? I don't think anybody has mentioned treating the room acoustics. @mgrif104 do you have any room treatments? You should be using some type of absorbion to reduce standing waves. These are the mid to high frequencies and can cause music to sound b... | |

| Why do all Mahler recordings seem too bright? @pwerahera You're welcome. It's unfortunate that DG had many of the greatest talent and performances and were unable to achieve the SQ of Decca, Philips, etc. Regarding Levine, I consider him an excellent Mahlerian, I don't think I have any of ... | |
| Why do all Mahler recordings seem too bright? Mahler included funeral marches in his symphonies and also use a large number of brass instruments. So I am not surprised some poorly done recording sounding "bright." However, there are many Mahler recordings CDs and LPs that sounds well balance... | |
| Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it? @ericsch Teddy Pardo makes outstanding power supplies. There are many threads about streaming that state the cost of high quality sound comes at a price of $2000+ . If that's true, then the Node upgrade makes sense. I'm undecided. I've made a s... | |
| Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it? @ericsch I see on his website the price is higher for the Node2i. The PS regulation is different than the new Node. | |
