I have joined the mainstream

https://imgur.com/cwbZvQn Well not really. :grin: These Sonos speakers are not a replacement for anything I have. I just wanted a decent sound in the small room where the PC is and this fits the bill perfectly as well as finding a use for my old heavy metal stands and cones which were lying about. W...

Re: Ethernet Cables

A short length of DH Labs audiophile cable connects my NAS to the first switch. The Network Acoustics Eno filter includes a short length of quality cable which connects with the second switch. An optical cable connects the switch to the streamer. There is a long length of ethernet cable in the middl...

Ethernet Cables

Opinion seems to be very much split on this. It appears that the majority favour unshielded whilst there are those who recommend shielded. Of course there are some who say it makes no difference. I have a long length of shielded Cat 8 connecting the first Cisco switch to the Eno filter. As I had a s...

Re: DAC to the Future

After six years of good service my Qutest had a problem. It has now been fixed by Chord and is as good as new. When a system suddenly stops working the issue is identifying the component responsible. In this case I got it wrong, adding to they timescale. I suspected the Mscaler and when I removed it...

Re: New Adventures in Chi-Fi

https://www.amazon.com/sephia-SP3060-Earbuds-Lightweight-Tangle-Free/dp/B0170RBJ9Q I bought these last year for around £20, seems like the price has gone down since. For the price they are excellent and sound better than ear buds I bought costing morey 10-15 years ago. Use them streaming offline Qo...

Re: hi-fi stand

I have had a wooden rack for 45 years. One of those Shriber self assembly jobs which were all the rage at the time. It is big, no metal parts and keeps the A80s and three Sboosters well separated from the source components and P90SA. It is also a good match for the oak speaker stands. Far better tha...
