Ethernet cables
@macg19 60 Hz is not in Snubway’s range.  (200-600 Hz) I would still  give Snubway a try it can help in other ways.  Main Stream is a new plug shipping in July and it addresses lower Hz 20Hz+ line noise. Both are reasonably priced and returnable.   
SnubWay Question Thread
Received my Snubway this week and in short order it has been a definite improvement and it’s not subtle.  Mark has another winner with the Snubway. Here are my initial highlights after only a few days using the Snubway: Quiet blacker background, ... 
Ethernet cables
@macg19 check out the SmoothLan ethernet filter thread started by ozzy.  Also, I just received a Snubway filter from Verafi Audio and it absolutely made a significant improvement.  I didn’t expect that kind of improvement. Removes switched power s... 
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
Ozzy - Thanks for your share.  I have tried several filters Audioquest, Ifi, Pink Faun with little improvement.  With Stack’s return policy and your feedback why not try! I inquired Stack Audio on what would be the recommended way to install the ...

New wireless hub/router
Not really clear what you mean when you say wireless hub? Is it a mesh system like mine below? I have Xfinity tower with modem and router built in connected by hardwire to the street box. I have a second Linkys mesh system hardwired to the Xfinit... 
Space Tech Lab super rectifier
After reading up on the Space Tech Lab Super Rectifiers I took the plunge and ordered the Str-104.  Scheduled to arrive next week.  After many emails to the owner Al he was very helpful steering me into the model that best suits my needs.  I neede... 
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
@eddnog be patient with the Linlai E-6SN7’s.  I had a pair and they went through a lot of changes during the first 75-125 hours.  Bass and brightness was a moving target in my experience.  Once they settled in they were a very nice new stock tube.... 
(Jolida) Black Ice Audio Foz SS-X Sound Enhancement
@sgordon1 Good info.  I have owned an SS-X for a few years.  When you say upgraded version is that a custom sent into BI upgrade or is it a newer version of the SS-X?  If newer version how do you identify it has beed upgraded? Also, on the tubes w...

Fairly recent releases of TheThird Mind and The Third Mind 2.  Psycho guitar just mesmerizing.  
Decware Sarah 300B Amp?
@atmasphere  Budget would be a concern for me….Any PP in the $4000-$5000 price range similar to Sarah?  
IFi Zen Stream connection problem — hardwired from Wi-Fi extender
I owned a Zen Stream for a second system.  Mine was hardwired to a mesh without dropouts but it had random hiccups and it was a pain to set up.  Everytime I used it I had to reconnect the Dac and reset the hardwire connection to get regular volume... 
Decware Sarah 300B Amp?
@oddiofyl does sound a bit towards insanity. When I ordered my amp I was told by Decware it was about a 1 year wait. Thought that’s not too bad I can wait. Well it took over 2 years but I don’t regret it one bit. Fantastic sounding amp to me. Canc...
