| Where to Place Network Switch “I believe I am on the right track here” @pgaulke60 You’re on a right track. No additional filter, LPS or switch required with Ansuz Power Switch D2, if you implement this before your streamer. | |
| Where to Place Network Switch +1, @antigrunge2 Keep it short and use your best LAN cable between switch and streamer. You can try the Ansuz switch near router to see if it makes any difference to your TV, blu-ray or receiver. My money is on switch near the dCS DAC using the... | |
| Please explain mono “You can approximate what a mono cartridge does with a "mono" button on a phono or line pre amp or even by using a "Y" adapter when playing a mono record but a mono cartridge is best for mono records...” If you own a decent collection of mono rec... | |
| Why I Sold My Aurender N200 “Some say the more money you throw at it, the better it will sound (especially when it comes to Aurender)” @navyachts That’s has not been my experience regardless of brand and Aurender is no exception. I have come to an understanding that the r... | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? +1, @yoyoyaya Your post outlines an interesting contrast between the two perspectives. I believe striking a balance between the two perspectives is the key. Theoretical models need to evolve as new data comes in, which ultimately leads to more ... | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? @audphile1 Thanks for sharing the EMF device link. Good recommendation but I don’t think many of us have the luxury to space out our components. At best, we can try to isolate the worst offenders. I watched the video and honestly shocked to see ... | |

| Why I Sold My Aurender N200 @navyachts Thank you taking the time for sharing your experience—it’s a thoughtful and grounded perspective that adds a lot to the ongoing discussion about streaming quality. Your process of directly comparing the Aurender N200 to the Bricasti M... | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? @immatthewj Merry Christmas! Speaking of identifying gains or losses…I can only share my experience. I believe self-awareness is a gift. Sometimes we wrestle with the desire for acute perception and clarity in evaluating gear, but it’s import... | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? @immatthewj You’ve touched on a profound aspect of audio enjoyment, the emotional connection to music often transcends analytical listening. While some enthusiasts focus on dissecting every sonic detail, the ultimate goal is to enjoy the music a... | |
| Auarender N10 On Sale @hickamore You can always step up to N20 :-) I concur with the advise you received so far, I wouldn’t trade for N10. The newer versions (N150, N200 and N20) are better in terms of perceived detail, low frequency extension and slam. The older ge... | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? “I guess that was a reference to streaming!” @richardbrand Yes! Correction to my previous post…DSD is available as downloads or physical media (SACD). My go to reference for downloads is NativeDSD and there are few others that are very transpare... | |
| Analog invites you to turn up the volume @richardbrand Higher volume often reveals more detail and dynamic range, making music feel more engaging. Conversely, achieving a lower noise floor is far more critical in our environment. You can uncover a whole new layer of details just by low... | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? @richardbrand Thank you for the kind words! I intentionally left out DSD as I did not want to over-complicate my response. I am a huge supporter of DSD and it certainly deserves a mention as a high-resolution format for its unique approach to au... | |
| Analog invites you to turn up the volume @mickeyb First off, are you listening to lossless files (Tidal/Qobuz) or compressed files (Pandora/Spotify). Digital compression can indeed cause music to sound harsh or dull. Some recordings or remasters can also have overly compressed dynamics ... |
