I have built 3 ground boxes. 1 each for my speakers with subs built in and one for my system power conditioner. I have them posted on my virtual system. I have noticed an improvement using them. I connected my main ground box to my power condition... 
Aardvark Ethernet noise isolator
Fiber optic definitely sounds better than without it on my set up as well.  I am using an LPS on both FMC’s but not on the router.  @ozzy It will be interesting to see if you hear improved results on your Fiber set up.    
Aardvark Ethernet noise isolator
Ok all is intriguing and it will be interesting to hear about the performance.  Would there be any benefit to installing an ethernet noise isolator if you have an optical set-up like mine? Thanks Mesh Router-ethernet cable-Fmc-optical cable-Fmc-e...

Same here I just placed an order for an Expanded power cable with the ground/braid upgrade.  Cap said it is well worth getting it if you can swing it.  Improves it even more.  Look forward to see how it compares to the Elite 3.

@nutty Thanks.  I am considering adding an Expanded cable on my Tube preamp.  Did you get the grounding upgrades on your expanded cables?

@nutty have you compared the New Ocean-Expanded to the Ocean Elite 3?  If so how do they compare?  Also, are your Ocean -Expanded the base cable or did you purchase any of the ground upgrades offered?  Thanks

Very happy and surprised with AE power cords quality and SQ.   Bought a used Ocean Lite and Ocean Elite 3 for my HT system Dac/Streamer and Amp.  Wanted lighter more flexible cords with tight connection and these checked those boxes. Liked them en... 
Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please
@thyname agree👍…Gets a bit pricey and cluttered when you have seven devices with power plug fuses.  SFB is a fantastic product improving SQ.  Very happy with mine.   
Jolida JD-9 Upgrade
@armstrod just replaced my JD-9 Burr-Brown 637 OPA’s with a set of 6 Burson Single V5i’s.  Definite all around improvement. Well worth the $115 at Parts Connexion.  Appreciate the suggestion in the thread.
