@jasonbourne71 - two days ago, now that is some buffering! Over here today: Fleetwood Mac, Before the Beginning - 1968-1970 Sessions  Some very nice Peter Green guitar!  
Need recommendations on 15ft speaker cables
Ok, then same question, "What are you trying to change or improve?" There is nothing inherently bad about 10 awg stranded copper speaker cables.  Since you are looking for cables that "provide SQ upgrade," is there something about the sound that ... 
Need recommendations on 15ft speaker cables
I am currently using blue jean Rca cables which are all copper 10awg I believe. I cannot find "Blue Jean Rca cables" listed as a speaker cable on their website. If those cables are in fact an all copper, 10 awg speaker cable, then they should b...

Fortunately, or unfortunately, I no longer need something like that but if I did I would definitely talk with you. It reminds me of the fern and roby rack and a little of the much more expensive Fleetwood Rack by Fleetwood Sound Company/Oswalds Mi...

I am confused about "no jitter."  When I was looking at different DDCs, I came across this review about the Singxer SU-6 model, that I ended up purchasing.  The reviewer performed measurements and at that time the SU-6 had the lowest jitter of uni...

@rtrlover  Nice looking rack.  Is it made from welded angle iron with wood shelves?  
Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ?
No - the room is exactly what I need and I am too old for a bigger house.

@czarivey  So to clarify my curiosity, you currently do not have either livestock or complaining neighbors and you would like to have livestock, or you currently do have both livestock and complaining neighbors and you would like a larger lot so ... 
Different Types of Spade termination ie gold plated copper, or other metals combos
Copper spades, gold plated or not.  Or, just clean what you have and keep enjoying your system. IACS is an acronym for International Annealed Copper Standard, which was established by the 1913 International Electrochemical Commission. (More Info... 
Looking for recommendations
I tend to like the sound of multiple, individually insulated solid core wires for SCs.  Harmonic Technology cables can sound great (IMO) and can be purchased used at a reasonable cost for what they are - multiple strands of small gauge solid core ...

I am curious at what point a typical digital signal is subject to being processed, changed, or influenced by noise as it travels from a streaming service via modem/router through to the DAC? How about in the case of the following digital streaming... 
New DAC issues
@rikkipuu  I recently replaced the UltraRendu with a SignatureRendu SE and Sonore OpticalModule to feed the Antipodes S20 and then feed S/PDIF to the GG3.  The gains in coherence and fluidity are almost matched by the reduction in "Noise".   Its... 
seeking advice on iso pucks /stands or similair that won't stain speakers?
Herbie's makes products for that exact purpose - to go between the bottoms of your speakers and the tops of the stands that support them.  They recommend their Fat Dots for the purpose, but their Thin Fat Dots work too if you are not looking for d...

Holy crap, you are right about the EVP pricing.  I just priced out the 16 large HD EVPs needed to support my main speakers and two subs - $3,824!

@tvad  Regarding the ringing, I suspect it may have related to using Nobsound springs under gear with tubes in it, as you mention.  The Nobsound springs do not appear to be as well damped as other spring solutions such as Townshend's.  I damped m...
