Network Switches

I recently tried a black QSA fuse (£40) in the mains plug which feeds the LPS to my Bonn 8 Silent Angel router. I really was not expecting anything, having previously added a black fuse to the LPS which feeds my Roon server and heard no difference. The results with this black fuse in the bonn 8 power supply path are startling.

i would just clarify that i have 2 QSA yellow fuses and an orange synergistic in my other power cables so the big jump in SQ may be down to the fact it removed the last :) weak link in the system. 

I would encourage anyone with an "audiophile router" and linear power supply to try the QSA black fuse in the mains plug. Really i would encourage you to put black fuses in every power plug but starting with the router is likely to give you a significant uptick.

Is there a better way for digital playback than my $100K Antipodes K50?
 

Running  Sablon Ethernet and XLR digital into Weiss 501.

I hope that is a typo since the K50 retails for $15K.

I assume you like it.  

An on purpose typo, $17.5K

Would like to know a formula that would outrun it so I could sell it

“Is there a better way for digital playback…..

As you know better is subjective and any given component must gel (synergy) with rest of your system for one to say, I prefer the brand X better than brand Y. I found a component last year that not only simplified my digital streaming but also transcended my existing digital front end (EMM Labs DA2 / Aurender N20). I suggest you to look into Merging Technologies +player. It’s a DAC/Roon player/Preamp, all in one box. No external component needed to run a Roon core. All you need is one high quality LAN cable, which you already own.

BTW, I am quite intrigued by your Manger S1 speakers, what made you decide to go with powered speakers over passive ones in Manger speaker line up?
