Value of a premium Ethernet cable
Tvrgeek, practice what you preach man. It’s clear you do not understand fully how the ethernet works. Otherwise, instead of denying people’s actual experiences with better cables and network switches you would look into how and why it is possible.... 
WHY CABLES MATTER!
I don’t understand why people who can’t hear have so much to say on these audio forums. Years ago I had a buddy, a musician with perfect pitch.  He came over and tuned my piano with a single tuning fork.  Even then he didn’t really need the tunin... 
Five feet from the front wall
I should add, Listening distance- distance from centerline of the tweeter to the listener’s ear.  
Five feet from the front wall
Some standardized definitions can avoid confusion and errors.  I use these:: Front wall- wall in front of the seated listener. Back wall- wall behind the seated listener Speaker distance apart- distance between centerlines of the tweeters (this... 
What is the science behind audiophile fuses?
I had a buddy in high school that ran the movie projector at our local drive in movie theater.  (Ca. 1974). He let me in the projection shack to watch him work once.  He had a large motor that drove a DC generator.  He first cleaned up the commuta...

Congratulations are in order but you also have my condolences as you go deeper down the rabbit hole.  Actually it can save you money in the long run   Streaming sounds so good now I don’t need to always buy the record or CD- or download   I alway... 
Very good AES presentation on inter connects and ground loops.
You mean the paper that you misinterpreted- or at least twisted to fit your narrative?  How does that help anyone?  
Very good AES presentation on inter connects and ground loops.
I understand you.  You employ the term, “snake oil” often and claim cheap cables are sufficient.  Clearly, you are a denier.  You believe that if you can’t hear something then it doesn’t exist- an even better thrill for you is when measurements ar...

Hello tvrgeek,  I see that you just don’t get it.  That’s ok.  Hifi is not for everyone.  If you truly heard a high end system and were not moved, then you are fortunate in that you will not be driven to pursue a similar, expensive system.  On the... 
Very good AES presentation on inter connects and ground loops.
Hello tvrgeek.  I would point out to you that if you look at my system page, (something you might want to post as well) you will see that my phono preamp sits directly below my turntable.  I will also mention that the cable from my turntable plus ... 
Very good AES presentation on inter connects and ground loops.
I don't think you can expect manufacturers to anticipate every possible scenario for noisy power, noisy environment, vibrations, RFI, EFI, etc.  The costs would be very high for those components.  Should everyone pay for those features if they do ... 
Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile?
I just uploaded my HT system on my system page.  My HiFi rig has been posted for a while now.  I update my HiFi system as I make changes.  I know some leave their older system pics posted so others can see the progression over the years.  I tend t... 
Very good AES presentation on inter connects and ground loops.
Hello tvrgeek.  I wanted to get a look at your system to see where you are coming from.  No luck there.  There are some holes in your arguments.  But first, I read the paper and my interpretation is the author is for balanced connections.  He made... 
Value of a premium Ethernet cable
Don't dismiss the LHY SW-8 or their new SW-6 Network Switch.  Very good performance for the money.  The SW-8 was a step up from using a fiber optic link for me.  The fiber optic link was a big step up from a direct ethernet connection from router ... 
Value of a premium Ethernet cable
Imagine a group of people talking about which airlines have the best 1st Class cabin service, food and seat comfort.  Then someone walks up and says, “You know, the Coach seats arrive at the destination at the exact same time as the 1st Class seat...
