I have tried several levels of ethernet cables (Audioquest, Pangea, Amazon, blue jeans,... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? + ghdprentice Same here but not 50 years… never had a power plug outlet fuse blow. Risk is very low and not really needed…give me those Sluggo’s instead and save 💰 | |
| Gustard R26 - good but not the one @vinylvalet I did open all the links on the first page and could not find any reference as to how to check your software version. Instruction for installing the updates were provided. Yikes…that install process seems like a PITA and I would rath... | |

| Gustard R26 - good but not the one @vinylvalet I just picked up a used R26 a couple weeks ago and I am very impressed by it. Definite step up for my second system. What’s your assessment of the on board streamer? I love the ease of use with it connected to a roon core compared to... | |

| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @carlsbad2 when you refer to slugs what exactly are they, do you make your own or where do you get them? Curious minds want to know | |
| Driver Tubes 6922 @vthokie83 ”There are dozens of versions of the 12AU7/6DJ8 family…” these are very different families not compatible for a gathering…one is 12v the other 6v to begin with..Also, the op does not discuss or use 12au7?? | |
