| Ethernet Cables - what are you using and why? Thanks again for all the suggestions. I figured the best approach was to just start trying different cables.

| ModWright Products My only experience is with the older Modwright upgrades, which were all very positive. Had a Transporter way back in the day that gave years of enjoyment. Later had an Oppo 95 which was also great. Never tried the amps but I can imagine they are... | |
