Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment
@antigrunge2 Thank you, I’ll fool around with it tonight and let you know what I think. 
Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment
@antigrunge2 Was it straight forward to set up Ipeng? I’m interested in trying that out. 
Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment
I have a Zenith Mk.3, the sound is stunning and represents a very noticeable upgrade over the solution it replaced (SGC i5 + LPS for Roon Core, Synology NAS, opticalRendu + LPS). I am running Roon Core and Roon player from the Zenith. I’m also usi... 
Does the Rogue Cronus Magnum III have any real competition in its same price point of $3k?
@yogiboy Nope, but since the OP didn’t mention that as a requirement; why give a list of stuff that he is not interested in? 
Vfet / SIT Amplifiers
I have a SIT-3, which is paired with a Supratek pre and Klipsch Forte III speakers. The Supratek has high gain, which I dial back about 40% via the gain pot and still have plenty of drive and wonderful sound. I mostly listen at reasonable volumes ... 
What's your favorite lyric from a song?

A deeper more holographic soundstage.
I agree with the comments on the room making a big impact. In this room, I had exceptional depth. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/6378#&gid=1&pid=1In this room, I didn't have the same depth (but the speakers are the same model). The s... 
Uptone EtherRegen
You’re very welcome. The solution is probably a bit overkill. It seemed like the FMC made a bigger difference before I had the etherRegen, but since there was a fiber port available--and I already had the FMC--I made use of it. I’m going to experi... 
Uptone EtherRegen
To use fiber with the etherRegen, you’ll need three components: Qty. 1: Fiber Media Converter (FMC)https://www.smallgreencomputer.com/collections/systemoptique/products/fiber-ethernet-converter-bundl....Qty. 2: OM1 SFP Modules https://www.smallgre... 
Uptone EtherRegen
I’m also a fan of the etherRegen. I use a fiber media converter to run fiber into the etherRegen and then use a Supra Cat 8 cable out of the etherRegen and into the Zenith Mk.3. The sum of these changes made a big difference.I'm still using the st... 
High Output Preamp for First Watt SIT-3?
@tvad I’m using a Supratek Cabernet with a SIT-3, it’s a really synergistic pairing. My speakers are Klipsch Forte III’s, however, which are very efficient. The gain adjustment comes in handy on horns. 
Overrated/Underrated
Underated: Duelund DCA16GA speaker wireOverrated: Kimber KS-3035 speaker cable Had them at the same time, much preferred the $90 Duelund wire. 
New Klipsch Forte III’s
I have Forte IIIs and have what I consider to be good bass. They're being driven by a Rogers tube amp. I also have a Hsu powered sub, but leave it off most of the time.Since they have the passive radiator on the rear, they are sensitive to placeme... 
At wits' end with radio through the speakers!
I had a LIO DHT and was hearing radio stations when the amp was turned on. I added a ferrite ring to the the speaker cable close to the amp and the problem went away. I bought them on Amazon for $8.  
So what ever happened to Kinki Studio???
I had an EX M for a few months when they first became popular. If I remember correctly, it benefited greatly from an upgraded power cord.
