Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
The Oxford Dictionaries Online defines the scientific method as "a method or procedure that has characterized natural sciencesince the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, a... 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
That is the scientific method. How many DACs have you designed, manufactured and sold? Bel Canto Design is a top brand, and the Black System is one of the best ever. Check Stereophile.

I own the Bel Canto Black EX. Absolutely amazing. The Black DAC and Amp are crystal clear and powerful. Our YG Carmels came to life. My wife said it has balls, even after I suggested it is not male. The resolution, especially with MQA, is as good ...

@kosst_amojan“.... unsubstantiated claims you can't back up with any evidence.” The scientific method is to develop a theory and then test it. The engineer who designed my Bel Canto Black EX DAC developed the theory – Ethernet cables from the wa... 
Y No YG ?

Atkinson's said his measurement indicated that "the Perspective's tweeter is balanced a little hotter than the Pulsar's, though its response is even overall."  Read more at https://www.stereophile.com/content/joseph-audio-perspective-loudspeaker-...

JA Perspecitve Stereophile review
@prof Room set up at RMAF and ten minutes of listening is not exactly the best approach to evaluate a speaker. Speakers and room interaction are critical. @astewart8944 I had the JA Perspectives, with dual 15” subs, in a horrible room using a DEQX... 
How loud is too loud
80 dB, but often lower.
