Network optimization for serious streamers
I've read that the ER will run cooler with 12v over on the AS website. I use a Paul Hynes SR4T LPS now and it is a lot better than the stock wall wart. I use an AC Infinity fan to cool the ER when it is warmer in the house. I unplugged it a few w... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@nyev  The newer power conditioner I have took four weeks until the sound went from analytical to musical. And week five brought about a good bit more improvement as well. I was wondering if I'd have to try a different power conditioner, but it a... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
This has been a very interesting thread so far. As several others have mentioned, letting the N20 run for a week would be a good idea. I'll go on record that most likely it'll need that or more given the fact it really hasn't been played that muc... 
Streaming – Discovering Similar or New Music
I am an Aurender user and Tidal is what I use as a streaming service. I discover new music clicking on "Album" categories in the Conductor app like New, Masters, Discovery, Rising, Staff Picks. The same can be done for "Songs" as well. I've found ...

Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality
@ghasley  X2, very excited to read about what your Muon Pro setup consists of and how it sounds, but "pretty special in my system" is a very good start.

@singingg  Exactly the kind of knowledge sharing the great majority of us are looking for here. Thank you very much.  
Network optimization for serious streamers
@grannyring  So true. Enjoying this thread for the multitude of experiential sharing. Just ignore what is not profitable and let's keep the thread moving.   With the amount of recent threads on Networking here on the 'Gon, it is obvious that th...

@agirard  As @lalitk, I totally agree with your statement on 01-22-2023 at 07:49am, "while we may disagree with other's opinions', we can't disagree with their experience". This is the approach we all need to take. Instead of using logic on paper... 
Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System
@lalitk  @charles1dad  The Linkup Cat 8 cable pictured above is what I've been using for over one year now. As Lalit says, it is better than Supra 8+. For me, it is no contest, Linkup is superior; better bandwidth, smoother and more revealing, a... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@dabel Thanks for updating me on Steve. Hope he is doing well and will pursue his plans; I'd bet it'll really benefit the industry if he does.  
Cheapest but good cables….
Another vote for Audio Envy. Only used their power cables, P2 and M3, but they are very flexible and sound fantastic. In my case, they beat $1k power cables that are just gathering dust now and need to be sold.  
Innovative Autio in NYC just hung up on me
Jays Audio Lab is also a dealer for Stromtank, if that hasn't already been mentioned.  
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@nyev  Your post at 01-13-2023 at 12:19am discusses USB cable length. Steve Nugent of Empircal Audio, aka Audioengr here on A'gon, used to discuss the USB cable length question as it was often brought up. He has been around for some time, but ha... 
Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system?
@walkenfan2013  I agree with many contributors here. The point is not about how much money is spent, or can be spent, but how little that can be spent and how that will open up a world that is so enjoyable.  Until around 4 years ago, I avoided s...
