Ethernet Cables -- where do they matter most?
+3 or 4, douglas shroeder 
Network Switches
Jnorris2005 and others have obviously not heard a audiophile switch in your system. 
Considering simplifying my system... talk me down (or whatever)
Accuphase is releasing a new integrated in the next few months with the new E800, 50 watts pure class A 8 ohm, 100 watts 4 ohm and 1000 damping factor. Accuphase doubles power down to 1 ohm.  
Question about Ethernet cable
For longer runs of ethernet cables the use of fibre optics reduces the noise considerably over cable and is cheaper. Highly recommended .Check out the computer audiophile site for detail info on how and what's needed. 
ARC Ref 6 - Is it normal?
Which AC cable do you prefer the Furutech DSP 4 or Shunyata Sigma ?

What do you consider a small room, you need to give more information when requesting help. 
Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?
Man there are some good one,s "when she became a team player" classic.There are many more but that one saids it all.

There are very few if any news outlets that aren't selling propaganda now days. 
How much does volume matter when breaking in amps and cables?
Kosst_amojanYou seem to keep up with many of these post here on Audiogon and other sites and your telling me you have not read John Curl, Ralph Karsten ,Neilson Pass, Caelin Gabriel to name just a few top designers talk about break in. You seem to... 
Replacing caps on crossovers?
I would definitely change those Solen caps and sand resistors, you would get a more refined sound and clean up that nasal sound solen caps have.

Have you heard ethernet properly implemented with FMC, LPS , switches "

You need to give it a good 200 hrs to really make a judgment, the last to come back is the mids and highs. I think the 20 on woofers is way to thin, I use the 3.0 silver foil on my woofer and 2.0 silver foil to the tweeter. 
How many of us are truly satisfied with their systems?
Im not satisfied thats why my system continues to evolve and improve through the tweaking and incremental improvements that add to the total sum of the desired SQ Im trying to reach.Also being retired and funds not being what they once where the b... 
Ayre QX-5 Twenty steaming performance
My QX 5 (Dac mode) is currently being fed from the Melco NZ60 , which I hope to replace this year with a Innuos Zenith Mk3. so unfortunately cant use AES/EBU but Im glad to hear it sounds even better through AES/EBU. 
How much does volume matter when breaking in amps and cables?
In are head" any decent set of ears! listening to a resolving system can hear new cables, resistors, circuit boards, transistors, breaking in'.Some of the best designers have acknowledged the " breaking in process" and if you think its in our head...
