Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects
I wanted to try the Jorma AES cable, but the Cable Co. does not have it in their library.   That's cuz I bought it - sorry 😁  
Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects
@dbt Cool, thanks for sharing. The Boomslang was one I was considering trying. I assume you know about Audio Bacon's review?- he loved it- it was the BNC not AES, but should be similar findings. He did state something to the fact that is wasn't th... 
Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming?
@nyev how many neighbors have electric cars?   
Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects
@dbt I'm curious which AES cables you demoed against Acoustic Zen's? I didn't even consider Acoustic Zen for digital, and I just got an AES a while ago.   
Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects
@pinwa  Hey, another guy with Maggies, Acoustic Zen Absolute XLR's and speaker cables - I can relate 😉 Yes, we have to try ourselves as one person's dark is anothers bright- different amps, different speakers, different DAC's, rooms, and yes ear... 
Flexible Power Cords
@tomaswv  Morrow Cables. Very very supple.  I want from AQ to Acoustic Zen to Nordost to Morrow. Happy with the Morrow sound. And I’m using mid level MAP3s. With my morrow ICs and speaker cables, I’ve notice a positive benefit each time I climbe... 
Zavfino and Neotech OCC Interconnect
@audio_is_subjective "Wow" are a bottom end model of IC's from Acoustic Zen; I think maybe he got them and Zavfino confused? I sure would get confused if I had been through that many cables too!  There are many products on that list that many hav...

Here is how a stock power cord compares with current delivery to a good aftermarket one:  instantaneous current delivery

Flexible Power Cords
Not floppy like Puritan,  That was my first thought- can't get any more flexible than Puritan's.   
Streamer software, what do you use?
Of course, Roon and dedicated streamer/DACs also let you stream the highest resolution of audio possible. But that is not true. On my Antipodes bit-perfect Squeeze sounds more transparent and resolves better than bit-perfect Roon. I don't prete... 
Suggested Power Cable for Streamer
No disrespect. While this may seem have some truth. Audioquest sells 1m high current cable, just on 1 search of cable. Cardas sells a .5m power cable. No worries, none taken. One has to have pretty thick skin to be forum poster on audio forums ... 
Suggested Power Cable for Streamer
 I don't know if shorter is necesarily better here, but assume it does. I hear it can make a huge difference in other cables.  According to Caelin Gabriel the ideal length for power cables is 1.5-2 metres. With the current high end versions you... 
Power cable Advice...
Well if I had the best amplifier in the world, and matched it with the finest speakers in the world, I would probably just use lamp cord too.   
Network Acoustics Products?
i prefer the etherregen (and outboard clock) to handle the incoming ethernet feed personally, it is what i settled on after trying the eno and muon... it is more boxes and power supplies and so on, but to my ear the sound is purer   Placing a...
