Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
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.... 
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
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... 
Best 12AU7?
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.  
SnubWay Question Thread
@ozzy check out the thread on Decware’s forum for several + comments. Kamran wrote and extensive review.   I think results may be dependent on how good of conditioning/high frequency scrubbing you already have set up.  I am not using one of the ex... 
Ethernet cables
@macg19 yes and they are designed to work together to eliminate different types of noise.  Preorders are being taken on Mark’s Verafi site now.  
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 ... 
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
@ozzy Thanks for the recommendation.  Just ordered one to give it a go.  Thanks  
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...
