Please help with Roon server/core issue
I assume your fiber speed from your provider is 500+.  I think you have an issue with the termination of the fiber where converting to ethernet, Or you have a bad ethernet connection between your fiber to ethernet converter (not a modem but often ... 
More potential bad news for some big names...
The money is one thing but yesteryears potential audiophiles (and many other potential market builders) have all run aground in the video gaming and betting markets.  Just saying.    
Looking for my End Game Speaker
@waorwraith  sorry for being dumb but what do you mean by "AGD recovery".  Im not sure how to imterpet your comment.  
Looking for my End Game Speaker
I went through the same process while retiring. I ended up with JA Perspectives.  Part of my decision was size look and sound.  What I’ve found is I can’t afford the supporting equipment to truly understand how good these speakers are.  This is a ... 
Non-Audiophile Audiophile question!
I agree that it should not matter that much.  As a matter of fact would be a good way to compare speakers.  Take the visual out of the process.   Good luck.    
Tube Amp or Tube Pre Amp
My experience moved me from all tubes to a tube pre and ss amp for a few reasons.  Cost of power tubes, heat, better bottom end control at the cost (maybe) of a very little loss in sound stage.  I would start with a good tube pre.  I've found that... 
Amp Stands - Wood or Stone
Thanks everyone for your responses.  Sounds like everything audio; opinions all over the map.  Wanted to ask because I have to do something.  Going with hardwood on cones / spikes based on cost and aesthetics.  Thanks again everyone for sharing yo... 
Fiber or Eithenet
@lalitk  Kind of arriving to the same conclusion.  Just try and trust my ears.  I just don't want to pull both cables.   Thanks everyone for sharing experiences and solutions.  Right now I think I'm going to pull ethernet and be happy with it.  ... 
Fiber or Eithenet
@yyzsantabarbara  So are you suggesting running all fiber if possible?  
Fiber or Eithenet
@tkrtrb125  just to be clear you much preferred Ethernet (cat8) over fiber for your long run and the a short run of fiber to clean it up.    
Fiber or Eithenet
@tkrtrb125 - Thanks for the recommendation.  I'm using a Sonore Optical Module today right in front of my DAC.  I guess I'm asking if I should convert to fiber at my switch next to my router, run 50 feet of fiber and convert to ethernet just in fr... 
Fiber or Eithenet
Sorry new cable will go from switch next to SMC in a separate room  to audio room connecting a Bricasti M1 with network card.      
Fiber or Eithenet
Just to clarify SGC is next to the router in another room.  Looking to pull cable from a switch next to the SGC to my audio room some 50 feet away.  It is that cable I need to put in place.  Thanks for the recommendation.    
Review: Ming Da MC-2A3 Tube preamp
I have a Cary SLP 05 and would classify it as an “old school” classic tube pre sound.  Great looks great sound.   It feeds a set of AGD Audions, which I love, but love more from the Cary then direct feed from my Bricasti DAC, Rouge 7 or Primaluna.... 
Audirvana streaming
I had the same problem but running Roon, Qobuz to Bricasti M1.  My problem was running Roon core on my laptop which was wireless.  I went with a dedicated music server (Small Green Computer) to run Roon and never looked back.  The buffering on Bri...
