Network optimization for serious streamers
@agisthos I am here to learn. I just finished looking at all the marketing blurbs for ethernet cables at Thecableco.com. Not one boasted floating the shielding and thus reinventing the  Cat specs. One boasted they do not have to twist their pairs,...

@sns ​ Shielding : Cat 7 introduces foil wrap over twisted pairs. Cat 8 introduces wire mesh over the foil shield over more intensely twisted pairs. This is obviously superior shielding to Cat 6, 6A, 7. Both cables are grounded at both ends. ...

@sns  I did a little research :  Cat 7 & Cat 8 require that all equipment and hardware in the system support a contiguous ground, or there will be no performance benefit to Cat 7/Cat 8 over previous standards such as Cat 6.

@sns  When I was considering the Pangea USB cable, I called Benchmark to inquire if their DAC3B needed the 5v signal over USB. They assured me that it did. They are working on a new design that does not, but it is not on the market yet. Therefore ...

Jean Sibelius Recordings
I just finished listening to the symphonies yesterday with Rattle and Berlin. The sound on Qobuz is excellent. I enjoyed how the details were illuminated by the incandescent soloists of that great orchestra. Rattle achieves beautiful balances and ...

Acoustic Signature turntables
 rauliruegas It was not the issue of the PS malfunctioning, although I had several professionals look at it with much headshaking at the design. It was the issue that they would not stand behind their product and get me to a working table that wo...

When Life Gives You Lemons When Acoustic Signature made their US appearance in 2002 with the Final Tool, I decided to take the plunge after the positive Stereophile review by Mr. Fremer. I planned to make this my last table and it was a financial...

AUDIOPHILE RIDDLE What's better than a hockey puck? (drum roll please - cymbal crash) Two hockey pucks!!   I discovered this by accident after installing two new amps. I was moving a speaker switch to a new location on my rack. It was previou... 
Streaming vs Physical Media
I became an "audiophile" in 1968 when all I knew was that a very good system would enhance my love of  "listening to music". Hence, over the years, I have collected 6000 LPs, 4000 silver discs, and a few dozen cassettes. In addition I have perfect...

One of the great things about being human is our ability to ’Suspend Disbelief.’ Once the music is canned (recorded), it is no more possible for it to sound real than canned peas to taste freshly picked, or frozen OJ concentrate to taste freshly ...
