| 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 All remarks not directed specifically to you. Just curious, you state you have modem and router, so how do you provide wifi? While you may not be using wifi with any audio streaming components it still affects your network. I also use... | |
| Darko nailed it. 12 examples of wishful thinking in the hi-fi community I take some issue with No. 7, I prefer my vinyl remains all analog. | |
| 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 ... | |

| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? I haven't watched Danny's videos religiously so I don't know what he's left out. In any case one shouldn't rely on only one source for their information. Sometimes I forget others far newer to high end audio, I've learned from so many sources over... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? Modifying audio components in general allows one to obtain exactly the results one desires, this presumes one knows exactly what they're seeking. Understanding how to achieve those results requires either the assistance of others who have specific... | |
| Network Switches For those naysayers who claim switches can't make a sonic difference its the same old story. Man, I've heard the same thing about myriad things, probably every single component in one's system. Theoreticals don't impress me, empirical evidence mat... | |
| Network Switches @rikkipuu The difference between a router and switch is the router can assign IP addresses, common switches don't. A managed switch does have the ability to assign IP addresses, so managed switch can replace a router. Since regular switches don't ... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? I don't know if timbre has been raised as an issue, my sole issue with active crossovers is they would necessarily alter timbre. I've chosen specific components and modified parts within some components in order to achieve a pleasing timbre. I e... |
