Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
@ozzy disregard my question I just read you can reverse the B side to input and A side to output if your endpoint has optical input.  Nice flexibility👍.  So much to learn.  
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
@ozzy Thanks. Is the optical port an in or out or both?  I was planning to run optical from a FMC to the A side of the ER then ethernet to my streamer. My Bricasti streamer doesn’t have an optical input just ethernet. How do you go from the ER di... 
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
@ozzy Thanks anyway…I couldn’t pass it up and I  bought a used 2021 ER bundle that includes the ER, After Dark Clock, AD dual LPS to power the ER and Clock, and AD BNC Clock cable.  Been looking at ER’s for a while.  Sorry for getting off topic- m...

@ozzy did the clock make a noticeable difference that you would buy it again?  I am thinking about adding an ER and AD clock.  Thanks  
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
@ozzy  Thanks that is exactly what I was interested in confirming.  Do you use an external clock or lps on your etherregen?  
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
@jaymark Glad to hear and I am now really looking forward to mine arriving.  I also have an STR and that was a revelation in SQ improvement.  Can you provide the set up chain you are using?  Many Thanks!

@ozzy can you explain exactly how you have the two connected? Is one connected into the other or are they separated by a cord or device? Curious🤔

Josh responded to my shipping update email and said that their new fulfillment service had a glitch and all orders after mine were filled but mine was not.  He also informed me now black was not in stock but he could immediately send silver Fedex....

Ozzy or anyone else-  How long does it take for these to ship.  I ordered mine last Wed and received an email from Josh confirming but nothing since?  Do they send you tracking/shipping info?  Thanks  
Best 12AU7?
@olds1959special Not a fan of the Tung Sol re-issue when compared to NOS. But…they are probably one of the better new tubes. I also really like the RCA 5814a TM BP. Top 3 for me but I don’t see it brighter as you said you preferred. It more neutra... 
iFi LAN iSilencer connection
Yep these devises are all about reducing noise not recovering lost or corrupted bits. I also tried the Pink Faun Lan filter and it didn’t make a difference on my main system but it did slightly improve my second system which also had optical filte... 
iFi LAN iSilencer connection
I hope you have better results than I had with the iFi Lan Silencer. It made no difference in my system and was returned.  My ethernet goes through optical to filter out noise so that may be the reason.  I ordered a returnable SmoothLan filter and... 
Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off?
@tom2015 +++ you are spot on with your post “People under 50 that can afford the pricier items have demanding jobs and families.” I am a perfect example of that. Influenced by my older brothers I started going to concerts and buying records at 1...

Agree Telefunken are the best I have heard for a detailed brighter sound.  Rca cleartops are an amazing value and sound extremely good on the brighter side as well. Can’t go wrong with either.
