The best speaker cables you’ve had
@fastfreight  DSS 4.1 is on the warm side, very organic and full body cable, it's the opposite of bright if that's what you are looking for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V15cu7GVaKs&t=2s

Cardas Clear Beyond my own. Best DIY speaker cable : Furutech DSS 4.1

Here's my latest addition to my system. I replaced 2 Audioquest Firebird high current PCs by 2 Furutech DSP 4.1 PCs. One of them powers my Vitus amp and the other one my Audioquest Niagara 3000. The difference in sound is absolutely jaw droppin...

@masi61  CS 3.7s weight is about 42kg so no problems with the GAIA 2s. GAIA 1s are for the bigger CS 7.2s. I did find the bass way to thin for my taste with the GAIA 2s and therefore removed them. I don't plan on using any Subs at the moment.

@prof Yes i agree directly on the carpet without the carpet spikes is much better but i still prefer the original Thiel spikes vs the Gaia 2s overall, bass is much better in my case without the Gaia 2s. A friend of mine told me to try the Gaia 2 ...

Ok guys i’ve been using the Isoacoustics Gaia 2 on my 3.7s for the last week with and without the carpet discs and i have to say i’m pretty disappointed at the moment. With the carpet discs bass is very lean and tonality seems not right. Also on...

@macdude My analog are all Cardas Clear Beyond. I'm getting a Vertere Pulse HB LAN cable very soon.  
Network optimization for serious streamers
I'm demoing the Vertere Pulse HB LAN cable in my system right now. This is the most insane Ethernet cable i've ever heard to date, it completely smoked both Pink Faun and FTA Metis LAN cables in my system. We're talking a full component upgrade ...

Same here i downgraded my Tidal membership to regular 16/44 because my gear doesn't take MQA. I mostly stream from Qobuz up to 24/192 and much less from Tidal.  
Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality
I also have a pretty good streaming system consisting of a PP Quad Switch, 2 Optical modules one of them being the Sonore Optical module Deluxe v2 with 2 Finisar 1318BTL SFPs, several Pink Faun LAN cables and Aqua LinQ streamer with HQPlayer core ...

You guys should try this LAN cable, spectacular!    
DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend
How good is the preamp part of the MPD-8 ? Could this drive Audionet Heisenberg Monoblocks without any frustration ?  
Network optimization for serious streamers
@lollipopguild It's actually 1421P1BTL but it's not the best one. You should get 1318P3BTL, it's the one i'm using very close to 1475 highly resolving. If you want more musical, creamier than go for Finisar 1324P2BTL or Cisco 10G. For Finisar a...

Guys i’ll give you my take on the Gaia II footers onces i receive them, my distributor didn’t have the right threading for my 3.7 this is why i have to wait another 3-4 weeks.

I use an AQ Niagara 3000 but only for my sources and LPS, amplification straight into the wall is best with good Furutech wall outlet. I have thick  curtains in front of my 2 glass doors.
