OP:
I prefer Furman power conditioners, and if I have concerns about he power stability I use a Furman with the VR (Voltage Regulator) feature. IMHO it is a good trade-off to the power regenerators.
Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming?
I’ve struggled for a long time with sound getting much, much worse around dinner time, and in some rare cases I don’t get depth, clarity, dynamics and imaging back until around midnight.
Like many people I’ve attributed this to noise on my AC lines. But recently I’ve been wondering if maybe internet service quality is at least contributing to the issue in some manner. When I run tests it appears that speed, jitter, and latency are all higher at times when the sound is poor.
That got me wondering if anyone knows whether one type of internet service is better than another for HiFi streaming? For example, is ADSL or DSL better, or does it matter? And what about speed?
Particularly interested in anyone who has real world experiences from experimenting in this area…

I can’t wait to hear your impressions after Network Acoustics goodies are in place. I’ve read nothing high praises for Tempus switch and Muon Pro. I had ENO in my system many moons ago before switching to Telegartner Gold 12 Switch + JCAT LPS and JCAT Sig Gold LAN cabling. I must be in minority here to report that my system is immune to high’s or low’s as some of you experiencing. Granted, I have paid ‘special’ attention to passive grounding, separate power distributors for analog and digital, pair of dedicated power lines. |

@lalitk yes I’m really looking forward to trying the Network Acoustics products. It was Christiaan’s review on HiFi Advice that really motivated me to order those goodies. He’s a great and very descriptive reviewer who is not afraid to compare products in a descriptive way. And everything he said about the Tempus are the qualities I’m always seeking. The big question is, how it compares to the PhoenixNET, which of course is highly regarded. From Christiaan’s review I am expecting the Tempus to possibly be airier with the PhoenixNET being more dense and organic, but we’ll see. |
