@ghasley so you say without knowing anything about my experience, so who is inflexible now?
Ethernet opinions
Hello everyone, I finally got my system setup. I had a few setbacks the past few months. My mom had lung cancer and passed away a month ago. It has been a journey getting my system set up which is part of the fun. I am running Pass Labs XP-12, pass 250.8, and Bricasti M3. My original plan was to run the Bricasti with a EERO mesh network since the modem is on the opposite end of the listening space. Needless to say the EERO mesh would not work and Roon could not see my M3. I was on the phone with Bricasti trouble shooting the issue. I removed my M3 from the system and double checked everything with it hard wired to the modem which worked. I was told I could really use any Ethernet for the most part as long as it’s cat 5 or 6. Well, I returned the EERO and got a 25 foot Ethernet cable from Best Buy for 10 dollars. The sound is much better then I was guessing running a 10 dollar cable, for me it’s deff a temp fix. Especially since I bought two audio quest vodka cables. I am using one of them now connecting the room nucleus to the modem at the moment. I have read a bit about blue Jean cables which seem to hold spec. I don’t see me buying a longer Audio quest vodka cable given the cost. In some ways I feel like I spent more then I should have on the Vodka cables at this point. Opinions please ?

@fredrik222 I read your CV that you proudly posted a while back so I am aware that you are a computer and data networking expert. Of that I have no doubt. Not only do I not give a dog's bollocks, I find you arrogant and pushy with your knowledge. You know more about networking than I ever will and I know about what I enjoy listening to in my system than you ever will. Others feel the same way...you have few if any meaningful interactions here. Of course you are welcome to be the bird that continuously drops poo on every discussion if you like, I'm rather indifferent and others may or may not be.
The shelf life of pushing your expertise on others here as a defacto final arbiter on what other people hear in their systems and in their homes has reached the end of its relevance. |
So you've appointed yourself ... what, exactly? The arbiter of truth? A savior?
