Do speakers need to be re-broken in?
Thanks for the responses so far. I was considering being one of those OP’ers who start a thread and then you never ever hear from them, until their next thread- but I am not that type of person. I recently purchased a pair of AER BD-3 drivers a... 
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
@audphile1 hey how are you? I saw the message but was on a road trip to Springfield to rescue some dogs.  comments and observations remind me of my experience with Network Acoustics Eno. Does it do something? Yes it definitely does. Do I like th... 
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
Haven't tried anything else, that is removing the ER, moving the Smoothlan to upstream etc. to what I stated above. But going off of memory from many months ago, so take it with a grain of salt, to the last time I re-tested the ER by taking it in ... 
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
Yes but so does Stackaudio:  "We recommend you start by connecting it directly to your streamer which should work best for most systems. However, as home networks and hi-fi systems vary, you may want to experiment by placing it next to or between... 
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
@tkrtrb125 did you experiment? Was that the best spot? Or perhaps the Zenith accepts fiber and that is the reason you want the ER next to it- I don't know about the Innuos stuff, I know the Lumin users prefer a fiber connection.  I might as well ... 
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
@tkrtrb125 nope, only place I have put it is after. Total chain is router>generic ethernet>Cisco 2960>monoprice cat7>etheregen powered by Plixir BDC PS>SOtM dCBL Cat7>smoothlan>K50 I will try it before the ER if that is what ... 
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
Well holy crap, this thing works. First impression after insertion is yes, I hear a difference. It is a more analog sound, everything is smoothed over, but possibly too much so? I thought on some bright and edgy tracks this is exactly what I have... 
Power cord
Well, looking at his history all of the posts are the same- not a person of many words. :) But his first discussion post was over 15 years ago, and sleuthing the patterns it appears to be legit. But yes @conrads1 without a follow up post confirm... 
What is the best 2A3 SET Amplifier?
Mr Clueless, Your philosophy makes lots of sense that's funny!

Thinking of Magnepan ... finally!
@arafiq For example, do I really need to treat the side walls? I would wager no. I just removed all 6 of my side wall absorption panels, which are Primacoustic Broadway 12" x 48" x 2" of high density glass wool. Easy to do as they are just pr... 
Thinking of Magnepan ... finally!
@arafiq well first fill out GIK’s acoustical advice form and get their recommendations first- it is free!   @lalitk  For most folks, it’s an afterthought but it should be the first and foremost priority especially if you have a dedicated liste... 
Retirement System Finally Completed: Impression of the Mola Mola Tambaqui
Congratulations @jsalerno277 May you enjoy as many multiple-hour listening session days as many others and I now do. We have earned it. I also built a "retirement" setup, and well, kinda kept going over the past year, so never say "final".  @ghdp... 
Where to purchase cables?
I think you are requiring the assistance of a dealer.  Or if you are going to go it on your own, since you posted here in Audiogon you might as well browse the cables ads.   
Streaming, Getting the Signal, Then What?
@veemike  Have you tried a filter? One thinks they have no grain in their streaming, until they try something that removes more noise and grain and then they realize they actually did.  I use an etheregen and it works. Money back guarantee- Alex...
