| Questions about Ethernet Cabling @peter_s tp link mc200cm won't work? Based on my research and experience I'd have to say audiophile switches hit and miss, can't recall a single negative experience with FMC. As far as server/dac/streamer vs streamer dacs vs discrete compo... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling I've also thought about tradeoffs of coax vs ethernet in front of modem. I'm using an extra 20' more coax than what I could minimally use. Its that or using 20' ethernet for that run. With cost of ethernet I presently run coax is no brainer, fig... | |
| looking for a chair Its not logical that high back chair won't affect sound coming into ear cavity. Its either going to absorb or reflect, neither will sound natural, headphone effect to some extent. I have reflective room treatments behind listening position on side... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC In past week I've received a package of two tubes shipped directly from Shenzhen China, Fedex seven days, another single tube from Hong Kong via DHL, six days. Over thirty years I've shipped or received much audio equipment to/from Asia, Europe, C... | |
| Audiophile Fuses - Are We Certain They Provide Protection? Lets hear from anyone having suffered equipment damage due to boutique fuse failure. Regardless of UL, EU certification this is where the rubber meets the road. And is UL, EU certification assurance oem fuse in your equipment meets specs? Wh... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling Audiophile switch with lps diminished sq in my setup, as usual YMMV. My issue with streamer/dac combo is limited choices, I understand the advantages. As usual costs and benefits with every choice. At this point in time I percieve steamin... | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? What auxinput is suggesting is exactly what I thought you should do all along. Get the Roon nucleus with lps, and those dacs are the exactly what I suggest. I use the Musetec 005, wonderful dac, recent comparisons with Holo May and Mola Mola Tamba... | |
| New Tidal Plans and Changes Good post. I got the email, no login required. Didn't pay much attention to email, I'll downgrade and save myself some money. I too find myself using Qobuz much more than Tidal these days. The downgrade on Tidal will bring cost in line to my yearl... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Butthole Surfers post brings back memories of their debut ep Butthole Surfers. It was suggested to play at 69rpm. I used to play it at both 45 and 33rpm, think I preferred 33. Always recall perhaps my favorite line from a song, I smoke Elvis Presl... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling This is what I'd consider state of art streaming. Fiber network provider >fiber capable router or switch> fiber capable server> fiber capable streaming dac. Fiber op. conversion was easily one of the best upgrades to my network, audio... | |
| Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided @surfcat Wow, what reactionary comments to my post, can't even discern my agreement that experienced may in fact be trusted advisors. I simply pointed out two local flippers I wouldn't trust giving me advice. Are you making the argument that all ... | |
| Suggestions for high efficiency speakers? Kirtgunn mentioned engagement, yes, this was what hooked me on first listening to stock Klipschorns in my system. Part of this engagement for me was this uncanny sense of live performers in my room, something I'd not heard prior with the many spea... | |
| Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided I can only give anecdotal evidence of a couple local to me flippers. One guy has probably five to ten each of nearly all main pieces of equipment in house at any one time. No room treatments, careless equipment placement, no AC upgrades. Last time... | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? My issue with all in one server/dac/storage equipmet is it kind of defeats the whole idea of maximally quiet streaming setup. Adding internal noise and functions of dac and storage in server chassis is not optimum. With outboard dac, you have far... | |
