| Why do I need a switch? @curiousjim It’s way to early decide anything, but without buying another $500 power supply, is there any decent LPS’s that have two or more 9 volt output connections that I can use on these network boxes? I used one of these from Solupeak on t... | |
| Yes, digital cables matter too Thanks for sharing. I am in the research stage for a new digital cable and this is very helpful. | |
| Why do I need a switch? @jjss49 to do this assessment correctly you should have a well filtered or linear power supply on the ’clean’ side (receiving end) fiber media converter... otherwise, the noisy power supply there puts the electrical hash right back in ... before ... | |
| Summer time is coming, touch your breakers! Good tip, fortunately all my AC comes from Lake Superior. | |
| Simaudio 340 i hard to beat for the $$ If you already have a “good” soundstage, then the issue may not be the amp. Play around with speaker placement and angle. However, if you really want to try something new, the Coda CSIB is worth a look. It can definitely power your speakers and wi... | |
| How to test speaker cables by ChatGPT @vonhelmholtz Ask it if Aliens have found intelligent life on Earth. I posed the question. It gave a long response about there being no proof to date that aliens have visited our planet or made contact. However the very first sentence was suffi... | |
| Seriously though, maybe the best tweak is exercise? Without a doubt vigorous exercise releases good brain chemicals and opens the mind. Music always sounds really good when I’m done. | |

| Digital coax cables @gammamike Thanks for the Silnote suggestion, I will check them out. | |
| The Right Speaker Cables @derfman66 I am on a similar quest and have tried four different cables under $500, including Blue Jeans which are still in favor. I have noticed more differences with speaker cables than any other type of cable. I know there is something better o... | |
| Digital coax cables I have been looking to upgrade my digital cable as well, I have a BJC and a Cullen, which work well but I cannot perceive any great difference between the two. I would like to try solid silver and the Take 5 Neotech looks like a good option, I nee... | |
| Advice on speaker replacement I love the LS50s, but the Yamaha doesn’t have the power to do them justice. I would lean towards something more efficient. Something bigger for your room size might be wise, as the others have stated. | |
| CAT 5 in 2008 built house CAT 6 has more shielding and would pick up less noise. Or, do the fiber thing with a nice piece of CAT 8 on the end. Noise is the enemy of digital, anything you can do to reduce it is good. | |
| Is Imaging Worth Chasing? I got this. I have a constrained space as well, 9' x 11' room with the speakers on the long wall no less. And, they are LS50's. For a long time I had my speakers 5-6' feet apart and thought they imaged pretty well. Then one day, ignoring the compl... | |
| Looking for advise with selecting next integrated amp Sound-wise I think the Coda CSIB is worth a listen. |
