| Great recordings with great harmonies from 1960s Brian was greatly influenced by "The Four Freshmen", they are good. "Peter, Paul & Mary" , "Seekers", "Simon & Garfunkel", "The Vogues", "The Tokens", "Anita Kerr Singers", "Ray Charles Singers". These just some of the great harmonies Bria... | |
| A controversial takes on low cost speakers with a lesson... I doubt a curious budding audiophile going to learn much from this, I'd hope they discovered what this guy discovered far sooner into the journey. | |
| Tube preamplifier lifespan Parts quality likely biggest variable, amount of heat generated also important, heat enemy of parts reliability/longevity. My pre uses DHT so relatively low heat, has two chassis, one for power supply, other signal path. | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile Perhaps I've always been an audiophile, even as a kid some of my attention focused on sound quality. My best buds quad Dynaco setup with Linn LP12, this accompanied by light shows and ingestion of various substances was my gateway. My own earl... | |
| Goal Zero Yeti 500 I had similar experience to bigshutterbug, and this also in comparison to my balanced PC. | |
| Ethernet Wiring I stay away from long ethernet cable runs, longest is 1.5m. By having ISP modem located in listening room, no muss no fuss install, all cable runs short and sweet. Don't care about the long run of ethernet for the whole house router. | |
| Darko nailed it. 12 examples of wishful thinking in the hi-fi community @newton_john In my post I stated taking some issue with the digitization, and a preference for all analog. I agree its far from a disaster. | |

| Ethernet Wiring @cleeds If any of those other components require wifi I'd rather not have them in my audio system. I run my home theater and every single wifi device in house off 'dirty' side of local network. Clocking/timing/synchronization also important f... | |
| Ethernet Wiring @cleeds The physical distance between the modem/router and streamer is of little or no consequence. The only possible issue would be if wifi enabled, emi-rfi can contaminate nearby components, since wifi disabled no issue. @foggyus91 explains why ... | |
| cable recommendation please from router to wall? The coax cables supplied by internet provider are all one needs, plenty good enough quality. | |
| cable recommendation please from router to wall? Sounds like OP has one of those modem/router combo setup. Don't sweat the coax cable. | |
| Ethernet Wiring I suspect the vast majority of audiophiles have a second rate setup for their streaming network. Modems and routers should be located near audio system, both should be powered via lps, short runs high quality LAN/ethernet cables. For those who've ... | |
