ETHERNET CABLES

My advice is, don't buy unless the sale includes a trial period, so you can decide for yourself it you hear a meaningful improvement. For even more fun, ask a few sharp-eared friends to visit (one at a time) and do a single-blinded test. We ALL are susceptible to suggestion and expectation bias.

I've read in a few places to make sure the last ethernet cable to your streamer is your best cable. Which I've done.

I'm pretty sure Pete at Triode Wire Labs does a 30 day guarantee for standard lengths.

agreed, ideally with an optimum impedance match.

apply the same rule to interconnects. You have cheap thin cables connecting everything, but in the last part of your signal you have SUPER expensive cables. Do you think that cancels all the negative signaling before? It’s the rule of lowest common connection (You can have 10 gig connections before, but if you have a 100 meg connection at the end then nothing else matters)
