| SET amplifier (for AvantGarde Duo's-original) recommendations With the Avantgarde soeakers what really matters is speed. I suggest you llokmat Atmasphere or Wavac. alternatively Ken Shindo’s higher end offering might get you there. No need to bother with Audionote or Kendo | |

| Cable Management Tips and Tricks Two basic rules: 1.power cords and signal carrying cords as far apart as possible. 2. Whenever neede, only cross at 90 degree angles And if you feel randy: use RFI/EMI paper when you feel the need to separate. | |
| When were the best tube amps made? @atmasphere, not sure whether Zero Autoformers are really zero cost. I used them on a Graaf GM20 about 15 years ago and while bass was significantly tightened, the overall SQ lost pizzazz. It felt a bit like a Ferrari on Qualudes… | |

| Anyone tried fiber into EtherRegen SFP? YI use an Antelope Audiophile 10m Rubidium clock, having had the one you mentioned before to try it out. Preferred for the Etherregen is square wave but inly if it not done by cheap conversion in the clock’s output. The advantage is noticeable wit... | |
| Anyone tried fiber into EtherRegen SFP? @lollipopguild two further suggestions, if I may: use the Etherregen’s grounding post to run a separate ground wire to a good ground. And use a 10m clock on the Etherregen, even if it is only a cheap one. Both have major additional benefits | |
| Ideal USB cable length, streamer to DAC? The Uptone USPCB is ideal where it can be used, i.e. no cable but a printed circuit board. Otherwise a 10in Intona cable. Longer cables have reflections and may suffer from RMI/EFI incursions | |
| Starting from Basically Scratch. Help me power some Wilson Watt Puppys You need a very stable amp for your new speakers. I‘d look at getting the best used Accuphase integrated you can afford | |
| the question of changing ethernet cables @finnlove From your description I would guess that the problem actually stems from your router: do you use it for wifi? Can you turn wifi off? Can you use a linear power supply for the router? What model do you use; can you try to upgrade? Also ... | |
| the question of changing ethernet cables There are many comments here that fibre avoids EMI/RFI conversion altogether. Conversely some very experienced members prefer Ethernet avoiding the media conversion to fibre. I concur with @sns that any streaming solution is unique, depending amon... | |

| Why don't higher end amplifiers come with a separate power chassis? @clearthinker much better now. Did the thought occur that manufacturers may include a piece of wire fully well knowing that buyers will chose their own PCs? I very much doubt that any of them would label the generic as recommended. They certainl... | |
| Why don't higher end amplifiers come with a separate power chassis? @clearthinker Yawn, and by the way: what‘s this got to do with the topic of this thread? At least get into the relationship between power cable and umbilical, if you must. |
