| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile For me, it was the Krell Showcase electronics + B&W 700 series that paved way to my audiophile journey. It was quite a step up from garden variety Kenwood, Technics and Sony stuff that you found everywhere back in the 90’s. | |
| On service, expectations, big business and handcraft “digital fuse box” @kevn Not until, they come out with a design that eliminates the need for piggy tail. | |
| On service, expectations, big business and handcraft “the rudeness they’re subject to on a daily basis” @kevn I get your point of view.

| Network Switches “what is the effe - 01” @rivinyl Both ENO and effe -01 offers 30 days money back guarantee. If we’re in your shoes, i would order both and compare them side by side. That’s the only way to know for sure that these devices offers any audible bene... | |
| Network Switches @toyman Thank you for referencing effe-01. The price point makes it a very attractive alternative to conventional fiber optic modules and conversion Ethernet switches + wall wart power supplies. I am using a very similar device albeit a very hig... | |
| Network Switches @rivinyl IME, LPS are overkill for mass produced network switches and/or router modem. Aforementioned iFI wall wart is more than adequate for them. You would position ENO between your switch or router and ECM. In order words, ENO should be the l... | |
