| Ethernet cables @tonywinga "high frequency internet data transmission rates behave like an analog wave" "To summarize: The ethernet behaves like an analog wave. It’s not analog but the high frequencies have characteristics that mimic analog." I am far from ... | |
| Audio Racks, Just How beneficial? looking for guidance in upgrading Here is a solid rack. | |
| Audio Racks, Just How beneficial? looking for guidance in upgrading You might consider looking through the virtual systems to see what others are using under their turntables that would meet your esthetic needs. | |
| Audio Racks, Just How beneficial? looking for guidance in upgrading After deciding on the esthetics (with your SO, if applicable), I agree with @ghdprentice in the approach of finding a rack that provides a very stable platform for each component as well as the ability to treat the support of each component indivi... | |
| Roon Aquisition: Will This Help Or Hamper? I am fine with Roon, as always. However, they are still not shipping the Nucleus Titan or the Nucleus One. Is there a parts (chip?) shortage affecting manufacturing? Good to see they are able to do the Nucleus One at only $500. It has a fan bu... | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers Ozzy, I did not test/compare all of my cables before/after since having and using the Cable Cooker took that variable out of the equation. So, while I am not saying that I found the cooker to work specifically, it certainly let me focus on what ... | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers About 20 years ago, I decided if I was going to compare expensive cables and make purchase decisions, that I at least needed to make sure I was hearing them at their best. Therefore, I purchased an Audiodharma Cable Cooker that I used to “cook” e... | |
| Shunyata cable cradle Yup, the Sonore Power Cord Support for $80 or $100 😎 As I said on another thread, audiophiles have spent more money on stupider stuff so maybe these are not such a bad deal. | |

| Speaker isolation - spikes on puck, springs, sorbothane @adsell The word "these" is a clickable link. I just tried it and for me it opens a page on Amazon. Let me know if that doesn’t work for you. | |
| Ethernet cables You asked, so my answer is no. I doubt anyone here has honestly heard a difference they could reliably distinguish on sonics alone. Some might say use CAT 8 because of the additional shielding but I am even skeptical of that. As a mid-point betwee... | |
| Speaker isolation - spikes on puck, springs, sorbothane You are likely to get as many suggestions as posts. My suggestion is to give these a try. They will give you an introduction to decoupling/isolating, and it may be the only $28 you need to spend. Think about weight distribution, total weight, a... | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change this is PC that I was told costs over $1K new!!! Can't say I am shocked. The shield is interesting though. I have never seen so little material on a shield. Looks like about a 20% shield, with two of the small wires connected to the iec - th... | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change @audio_is_subjective64 - I think you mostly nailed it with your first answer, FOMO, Fear of Missing Out. Although some buy for the variety, or for real sonic upgrades, audiophiles are conditioned by audio equipment marketing that is based on the n... |
