Ethernet Switch- what's the point?
If you have a decent system, try the audiophile switch and hear what it does. In my system both the LHY Sw 10 and the Sotm incl oxco and Keces, with audiophile fuse and powercord, works wonder. The Lan cable just before the streaming device is a...

It’s all a matter of degree
Through time i think i have learned that a nice lisining expirience has 4 fundamental  pillars. The gear, the room, the software and the brains capebility to be sensitive. If there is “problems” anywhere in one of the pillars, it sets the max enj...
