| ETHERNET CABLES Thanks @tonywinga - I purchased two of the same $86 5V supplies off of Amazon and they have worked well. The same manufacturer does not list a 9V model but I was able to find 9V models that would work from either Small Green Computer or AliExpress. | |
| ETHERNET CABLES @tonywinga I also added a pair of $85 linear power supplies to power the FMC’s. Hello, would you please share where you purchased the $85 LPSs for your FMCs? I can easily find 5v supplies that I use with other peripherals but I am having a ha... | |
| Duelund shielding Shield is tied to ground but only at the source end. | |
| Duelund shielding @holmz Because the shield is being used as a shield only - I run a separate, third wire for ground that is connected at both ends. | |
| Most economical way to ship large speakers? Reminds me of the quote by Trek Bicycle's Keith Bontrager - "strong, light, cheap, pick two" "Reliable and economical" are somewhat at odds with each other. Any of the shippers are ok - until something goes wrong, then economical goes out the w... | |
| Duelund shielding @lollipopguild Has anyone tried buying a metal braiding and shielded the raw cable themselves? Did it improve the sound? I have made ICs from the Duelund 20awg (DCA20GA600V) Tin Plate Copper Hookup Wire and shielded those cables using tinned... | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up I spent some time listening to my digital options yesterday and, as usual, nothing I did was anywhere close to a game-changer with respect to the overall sound of my system. I reconnected the 45 feet of fiber (instead of Ethernet cable) from my r... | |
| Help with USB Cable Option I am sorry but have not heard the cables you mentioned. I own the original Curious USB cable, ifi's Gemini split USB cable, and the Totaldac USB cable/filter, and I have been happy with the TWL (Triode Wire Labs) USB cable. They offer a split po... | |

| ETHERNET CABLES The Audioquest write-up is from the marketing department. The first paragraph may have validity for analog signals but neither their long grain copper nor the polyethylene insulation will make an audible difference to a digital signal. The second... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES CAT8 is 22awg - the thickest wire of the CATs and therefore arguably the best durability. It also has optimum shielding and twists but maybe not much if any different from CAT7. It is by far the fastest but that speed is not needed in a home env... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES Assuming that digital send/receive protocols work as explained by the many network people on this site, then one thing that could cause Ethernet cables to sound differently from each other would be the effect of noise and shielding as discussed he... | |
| Has Anyone Heard Aerial Acoustics Model 7T with Luxman LX-380? 4B(what?) - ST, SST, cubed? With the big SS amp on the Aerials, you will probably appreciate the improved dynamics and maybe miss a bit of bloom and tonal density. You can mostly have both with the right SS amp. Aerials are very dynamic speaker... | |
| Best 12AU7 Type Tubes for a Preamp Just bought a matched pair of Amperex PQ 7316/ECC186 Holland Short Plate O-Getter 1965 Ct5 tubes that measure like new. Should be here by Saturday. No, I did not look for the Mullards. I believe those short plate Amperex tubes are supposed to ... | |
| Best 12AU7 Type Tubes for a Preamp There is an ebay seller with over 1,500 sales at 100% positive feedback who has several pairs of strong measuring Amperex 7316 tubes at what I would consider reasonable pricing (less than $200 each). I found two pairs and emailed the seller for a... |
