Sonore Rendu or similar
@nglazer : I am not sure if your response was genuine "thank you" or not. Apologies for not understanding the meaning of your reply. I have had Verizon FIOS for years now (residential FIOS, here in US), and have owned a range of their routers, in... 
Sonore Rendu or similar
Have you looked at your Verizon FIOS router? It's copper (ethernet). Not fiber. Yes, there is fiber coming to your home, but that connects to your ONT (optical network terminal). Then Ethernet (copper) from the ONT to the Router. In other words, E... 
Silver Speaker Cables
Since the install, the sound excelled just like everyone (except naysayers) said it would here in this thread. ...... the soundstage, air, clarity, etc. all were upgraded. I am assuming you were able to identify the improvements in a double bli...

Cost effective power cables recommendations, low and high power
@troidelover1499    If you get a used Shunyata Venom, I would recommend not getting anything before the "NR" Venom version generation. You can buy the Zavfino top of the line "Dart" right now used for about $600 or so. And if it does not work, ... 
Cost effective power cables recommendations, low and high power

OK got it. We established it’s $3.50 for a DAC chip. How much one should spend maximum for a DAC “machine” to get “transparent” sound? Ballpark. Does not have to be super accurate. Plus / minus 25 cents.
