Soundsmith notes the passing of Doug Cassara
Wow so sad to hear but what a beautiful remembrance of him, thanks for sharing Peter. RIP Doug  
Your single most significant purchase mistake?
This is easy for me, the biggest mistake I EVER made was buying the ESCALANTE DESIGN FREMONT Loudspeakers. Nothing else comes close. They retailed at $18,990 and had some positive reviews so bought them unheard. Never sounded good out of the box (... 
To extend Ethernet to remote location, are Powerline extenders or Mesh systems better?
I use the Xfinity POD and it works flawlessly. Use it into a Bricasti M12 and sounds sublime. https://www.xfinity.com/learn/internet-service/wifi/xfi-pod    
Soldering Help
I have several soldering stations and use either Cardas solder or Wonder solder. If you live outside of the Boston area I'd be more than happy to help out. Just PM me.  
Audiophile Fuses - Are We Certain They Provide Protection?
Just an FYI my Atmasphere MP-1 does have the CE designation engraved on the back.    
Question for all TriPoint owners......
Me bad but I wasn't trying to "high jack" your thread just trying to say that what you place under a grounding box can make a difference. And so I've removed my post. 
Sussurro MkII and surface noise?
Have been listening to the Sussurro MKII for about 3 months and is dynamic and quiet as any other cartridge I've ever owned. Just love it!(Dealer disclaimer) 
Anyone have first hand experience with new Keith Monks Prodigy.....
FX we are a dealer for Keith Monks and have been selling the new Prodigy since last December. We have sold over 12+ units and all (one customer wasn't thrilled but still likes his Prodigy) have thought it does a great job at cleaning records. They... 
ground control devices
@pauly yes the wires are connected FROM the grounding box to each component. Each component is still plugged into an outlet but the grounding box is a passive device and does not require AC to operate. I could not tell you if using the SGS while y... 
ground control devices
A wire is connected from the grounding box to a component. You can connect to the chassis ground of a component (i.e.: amp, dac, pre, phono) which is usually the best however SGS is rather unique as you can do signal ground as well, ITS ONE OR THE... 
ground control devices
Yes it’s only been less than 2 months but I’m now a believer in grounding boxes. I was sent a Zebrano Signal Ground Solution box from Scotland and after some experimentation (yes it was not a simple as plug and play) this is what I heard. The Zebr... 
American Audio

Ethernet cables
@m-db I'm using the Bricasti M12 exactly like you would use the M3 into a white Xfinity "POD" that has the 2 Ethernet ports underneath. My Xfinity Router/Modem is in another room and I have a Roon Nucleus hooked up to a switch which is then hooked...

Bricasti M3/M1SE
@glory I use the Bricasti M12 and run Roon. Used to have Roon on a MacBook Pro and it worked fine wirelessly. (Obviously hooked the M12 up via an Ethernet connection). But a short while back got the Roon Nucleus and it was a HUGE improvement in SQ...
