Pimping your router

@richtruss,

the EMO filters RFI/EMI as well as ground level noise from long ethernet runs, whether you call or not call that a filter is your personal choice. As to your stated fact that one of these is also built into the streamer: there is plenty of evidence that multiples in series are beneficial and in my case the insertion of the EMO filter was significant for SQ

You will also note that I listed an additional Acoustic Revive filter higher up the list, this has passive characteristics as does your ENO filter.

Btw: you should make people aware that your post promotes your own product.

Or you can contact Small Green Computer Co. and they can get you all set up with a fiber optic solution. You can run fiber for miles with no signal loss.
Hope the solution described above also included a fire sprinkler system. Can only imagine all the heat generated from pimping.

Use a turntable, play records, avoid all above...😁

Yeah, like analog is plug n play 😂. By your own admission on another thread, “Analog is a very involving listen. However, it does require work, but I like the challenge.”

A good playback system regardless of the format requires work.

Yeah turns out proper shielding is a thing. I wrote about improving my streaming experience but hadn't tested the effects on the rest of the system:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/bluesound-node2i-and-wifi-frustrations-mesh
Turns out having the mesh node in the stereo cabinet is a bad idea with regards to my C-J Premier 6 pre-preamp... It's VERY sensitive to EMI. So I either need to move the mesh node across the living room and run Cat5 or shut down the node to play vinyl. *facepalm*
Happy listening.
