| Home network router question Thanks for all the comments; all very helpful. One other question/thought. I know the modem/router is best located in the "center" of ones home but wonder if anyone has had success with placement in the basement ( with router extenders in the re... | |
| Home network router question Yes the only downside, is with my modem in the stereo cabinet the primary Plume node is in very close proximity to the cabinet. It sits just above the cabinet. So continuing that set up would seem ripe for EMI interference. Moving the modem and... | |
| Silver spades I didn't realize there was a limit. But to answer your question I find the discussions tend to take on a life of their own and meander. Much like a worm on a dry outdoors surface. So to refocus the conversation sometimes a new thread is helpful... | |

| UPGRADE PATH FROM CHORD QUTEST DAC I had the Bricasti M3, found it a bit sterile sounding. Though great build and support from Bricasti. Went to Electrocompanient; very analogue sounding with life-like vocals. | |

| DH Labs Prelude Speaker cable Do you mean from a marketing point of view they are not Audioquest/Cardas; or do you mean from a sonic quality point of view? Thanks | |
| DH Labs Prelude Speaker cable I meant a store; like in the old days when we went to audio stores to listen to components before we purchased. | |
| Bricasti MDX upgrade Yes, I have the board and yes you are correct. I checked with Bricasti. The upgrade is firmware! Easy to do. Brian thought it would add two more filters and that is about all. They are such a pleasure to deal with | |
