What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly?
@firstonetallguy  I've recently upgraded Dac, added a streamer, modded network switches. I'm going to buy some Triode Wire Labs 'Freedom' ethernet cables.    
ATC SCM 40 question
@moomalade74  I know the feeling. Bought the SCM19v2, as that was all that was allowed. You're right, they do like a bit of power to really let loose. Were the SCM40s new? How long have you broken them in for?  
The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts.
@nutty  I have a friend who has a masterful system. He offered advice regarding DC fuses for linear power supplies. His findings, from a range of SR fuses red/blue/orange/purple is that the best fuses he found for LPS were HiFi Tuning Supreme. I... 
The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts.
Sorry @nutty  I haven't had my system up for 10 months, and have made many changes in that time. When I get it up and running next month, the differences will not only be in the fuses... (Dac, streamer, ethernet, network switches, power treatme... 
The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts.
I have gone from SR Black to Orange to Purple on my amp. SR Red to Orange to Purple on my Dac. Gave them 250-300 hours running in each time.

Roon Nucleus as a Streamer
Last month I bought an inexpensive Intel Nuc to use as a Roon core. If house layout was different, I would have used my MacBook.  
Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up
@audphile1  Unfortunately I will never know. My system has been down for almost a year. In that time I have bought: a Dac, streamer, two modded switches, three fuses, three LPS, Add Powr products, Akiko Audio products, DC cables for LPS, USB/SP... 
Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up
I've bought a cheap switch (Cisco SG110D-08) and getting a low jitter clock installed.  
Point of diminishing returns for a Network Streamers?
I finally swapped my Macbook Pro for a Project Stream Box S2 Ultra. It's been noted that by design (John Westlake), an LPS is not necessary. If your Mac is old enough, it will have an ethernet port.  
UE Megaboom 3, JBL Flip 5, JBL Charge 3 or SRS XB2?!
I have a UE Megaboom. It's good for playing music, but not really for listening.  
Is there a DAC ranking list?
A 'one post' wonder. You could at least reference your source. https://www.themasterswitch.com/best-dacs  
Shoutout: Add Powr Symphony Plus+PSU, Eau2 package currently on sale
@bemused  I am looking forward to it. The Symphony Pro will be on the same line as my modded network switch, streamer, USB/SPIDF converter, external clock, Dac and amp. The Eau2 will be paired with my modem, wireless router, another modded netw...

@antigrunge2  I'm still interested in your Meicord Opal 😀
