| Router for Audio Streaming Fiber is good, best use for me post server. | |
| Router for Audio Streaming @yoramguy1 Ethernet has lower latency vs wifi, low latency good for jitter. Weakness of your setup is long ethernet cable, not good for latency. I've found both length and quality of ethernet cable matters, to the point I relocated my router very ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil @volleyguy1 Changing out the stock inductors in my Khorns for Jantzens was a real eye opener! Greater resolving, transparency, more natural timbre. I agree, more should try nice inductors, it appears not many have based on posts here. | |
| The character of analog and digital @lalitk Shazam, you got it! Both capable of providing sheer bliss! Competition between my vinyl and digital setups certainly not zero sum game, total win win! I don't understand the need to differentiate, seems one would always have to be in ana... | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? I may mention retail prices on certain components, and then mention I purchased it used, not exact price given. I then go into how I built up system over years selling off the old in order to purchase the replacement. When I think about the re... | |
| Am I Getting Soft Here? I can easily understand your enjoyment of present system. I used a variety of Alon speakers for well over ten years. Also owned PrimaLuna amp rather recently, Alon/Nola and PL all very nice equipment, good for you! | |
| To ROON or not to ROON ? I have exactly no issues with Roon! The interface is simply the best, easily most intuitive. As for sound quality, my new streamer has capability to use proprietary music player, Roon, HQPlayer, all in one or two computer setup. Roon has built in ... | |
| The character of analog and digital In regard to digital having more uniform sound. First off, this not true, top echelon digital equipment will expose quite wide disparities. I have wide variety of digital recordings available to me, from late 80's cd rips to post 2000 cd rips an... | |
| Question About Capacitor Upgrade in Tube Amp Good for you if the Mundorfs work for you long term. Every time I've tried Mundorfs, initial impressions good, over time always heard spot lit high freq, rather artificial sound quality result over longer term. Hopefully these work for you long te... | |
| Experience with applying Kilmat to Cornwall IV Horns? A properly designed Tractrix horn is a non band aid approach for horn issues. If your not suffering horn issues, crossover mods alone should fix issue. | |
| Do I need a streamer? DIY route is certainly not for everyone. All this has been steep learning curve for me, and continues to be. The cost premium one pays for off the shelf dedicated streamers is well worth it if one doesn't want to get bogged down in technical detai... | |
| The character of analog and digital @holmz I have yet to install any of this into system, waiting on the Thoress to arrive later this week. Was lowering sibilance a good thing for you, or did it darken things up excessively? I did see one individual had azimuth issues with his e... | |
| Experience with applying Kilmat to Cornwall IV Horns? I'd be skeptical you'll find damping horns in this way to be satisfying long term, band aids like this usually expose their flaws over time. I don't see issues with your equipment so I expect upgrades to crossover only would be good starting point... | |
| The character of analog and digital With recent upgrades in my digital setup I feel no more need for further upgrades. Streaming and/or digital is capable of outstanding performance, relaxed, spacious, extreme resolution, pushes all the right buttons, both for analytical and music l... | |
| Do I need a streamer? @mapman Optimized rendering via USB, I2S, coax, AES/EBU with PC requires JCAT or Pink Faun boards powered via external lps. Rendering via motherboard, even with optimized OS leaves much to be desired. Ethernet optimization effected with JCAT NetCa... |
