| Wifi vs ethernet revisited @debrajray My thought along same line in a router, simplify the setup. Why do you need 2.5gb lan, you have super high speed internet provider? While I haven't checked lately, always on lookout for audiophile router. My issue with SFP in router... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited @debrajray Like the idea of router with no wifi/SFP cage. My only issue is not all fiber conversion created equal, I've tried generic products, my Sonore OpticalModule and OpticalRendu superior transparency/resolution. The Sonore has optimized iso... | |
| Oh no, say it ain't so. Far too many zero sum games today, simple minds affix labels and completely miss the idea of complexity. Stupidity is a valuable commodity in the social media marketplace. | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited I misunderstood, thought the Mikrotik was a switch. I presume you meant HexS model, this has SFP cage for optical. The issue with optical is not all transceivers may work with your streamer, if the SFP in that removable no problem. Best transceive... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited You need IP address for the daisy chained router being used for whole house wifi, switch doesn't provide this. Only managed switch can assign IP addresses. | |
| V-Cap Odam or Miflix output caps In preamp The true copper max are one my favorites, only bested by Duelund Cast, but don't sweat it, the Audyns very nice. Give them some time, boutique caps require many cycles of powering up. | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited I use Netgear XR1000, I went with this for speed, 1GB cable service, provider servers very close to me so very fast ping times. I'm familiar with Netgear software reason I went with them, just look for speed, you want low latency with entire netwo... | |
| LAIV uDDC Arrived Two things I don't get. One, not using I2S, so many reviews stating I2S superior to other inputs with the Terminator. Two, not using with Denafrips DDC, specifically Hermes or Gaia, again many reviews stating great synergy with these. With I2S you... | |
| Seeking advice on skyline diffuser size and placement I've found diffusers on front wall behind speakers to be effective, generally middle front wall, helps to give dimension to sound stage and images. First reflection points good, remember ceiling. My issue with off the shelf diffusers is the size,... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Don't understand why others don't try this. Run your ethernet provider output next to your audio system (modem next to your stack). Short run of high quality ethernet cable to gaming router, disable wifi in this router (for audio system only), run... | |
| Need to learn about Audio Research My experience pretty much mirrors @whart I well remember hearing the big Maggies with all ARC setups, one of my early references for high end sound, this in 1970's. I only owned a single ARC piece, this SP9MkIII, very disappointing, one of their ... | |
| A life sentence!!! @vetsc5 Couldn't leave out my Dahlquist DQ10's, been with me going on 40 years. Long had plans to modify with the mirrored configuration and better crossover parts, time running out! | |
| Western Electric 300B Tube Problems I had a newly purchased WE300B go bad at aprox 5 hours, loss of vacuum. I caught it immediately, watching closely when powering up amp for the second time since tube installation, lost rectifier tube with this. Replacement now at something over 20... | |
| Room Treatment I've always found clapping to give me general sense of liveliness/damping of room, I've been on both side of equation. I've accumulated many types of acoustic treatments over the years since changes in system may require change of treatments. I mo... | |
| Will a high quality preamp really make a difference in sound?? Also speaker cable It would be a rare digital source with integrated analog volume control/pre that would best a quality active pre. Quality active pre provides dynamics, drive, harmonic development/natural timbre, source direct to amp and passives have inherent lim... |
