| Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms? Power lines buried in my neighborhood as well, still, I presume strikes on power lines somewhere else on my grid could have effect. | |
| Ever heard Rockpile? Switchboard Susan is a real rocker. Speaking of pub rock been doing some listening to Dr Feelgood lately, another band that could really rock. | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited I should also add every single one of my streaming components powered by lps which is in turn plugged into my power conditioner fed by 20 amp 10 guage dedicated circuit. Switching power supplies contaminate your entire household AC, neighbors SMPS... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Wifi grossly contaminates your router with RFI, noise is the enemy of maximizing streaming potential. Obviously its isolated, this not the issue. The issue is every link in the streaming chain needs to be optimized. Noise in streaming components ... | |
| New Klipsch Klipschorn AK7 & La Scala AL6 will be active DSP Crossover Call me a skeptic on the active/dsp option, I'd have to hear it in direct comparison to the passive. I have both HQPlayer and Roon dsp to play with prefer no dsp with my considerably modified Klipschorns. I do like the direction Klipsch Herita... | |
| Mike's Barn. Found it completely unwatchable, may be worst camera work ever. Camera jerking all over the place, can't focus on the equipment as he describes the setup! | |
| And the biggest influence on sound quality is... The room and the system are what they are, recording quality easily the greatest variable. Now, one can manipulate and change audio components and room treatments, same doesn't hold true for any particular recording. | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Somewhat surprised someone hasn't entered discussion claiming all this nonsense. So for any novice or disbeliever, streaming chain tweaks and the ability to discern them first requires a highly resolving audio system. Second prerequisite is both s... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited @debrajray Looks very nice, presume you'll be using LPS with this. Let us know your results. | |
| 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. |
