LPS for Optical Network Terminal (ONT)
I thought I saw that connection when I googled your device. From the picture, it appears that the A connection is the +12 VDC and the B connection is the - or return.  Looking at the connector raises the question whether this device has an intern... 
LPS for Optical Network Terminal (ONT)
If your goal is to power your router with a LPS, then you need to purchase a LPS that delivers 3A of current at 12V DC.  The LPS you purchase should come with a DC power cable to connect the LPS device to your router, and it should also come with ... 
Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers
@atmasphere - No argument on the possibility of better sounding Class D amplifiers.  I think some of the perception problem is due to the level of hype surrounding each new amplifier release, which peaked with those Hypex NC1200 amplifiers when se... 
Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers
"it seems that lack of soul or engagement is a common theme more so than other critiques" Everyone describes what they hear based on their own impressions, so I can only speak to my impressions of the Class D Acoustic Imagery Atsah monoblocks, ... 
Triode Wire Labs
“That would give his cables a “Dueland” type performance perhaps, but takin to a higher level by his design innovations.”  Yup, that is about right.  Read the reviews.  Also consider his newer cables innovatively push the boundaries of his orig...

I believe the American Series power and speaker cables are made from stranded, tinned copper Western Electric KS13385 wire.  This review provides some insight into how the cables are made and the other reviews of TWL wire that you can find on line... 
20 Years?
Yeah, a few years ago many of the sign-up dates apparently were jumbled.  The only reason I know mine is because I printed out a dated copy of my sign up info when I registered.  The sign up date on my profile is about 10 months later, but that ma...

for streaming why not computer/galvanic isolation/DAC clock?
@arhgef - Thanks for the clarification.  I couldn't figure out which Innuos product you were using.  I believe the JCAT USB isolators are basically Intona products.  I have almost pulled the plug on an Intona isolator several times and have been c... 
20 Years?
Congrats on still hanging around.  Amazing how time flies - 25 years coming up this Oct. for me.  We have seen significant changes in the audio hobby over that time, such as no longer being dependent on physical media, Class D amplification, decli... 
for streaming why not computer/galvanic isolation/DAC clock?
It has been awhile since I had a Mac mini but couldn't the OP set up the Mac mini at a location away from his audio system room, connect it to his network, use it as a server for music file storage (on a SSD), and then use a separate streamer loca...

Cable Break In for the Naysayers
@ozzy  "The Naysayers opinion on cable breakin is probably due to the system that is used (and perhaps the ears) is not revealing enough. And/if you progress through this hobby with better equipment, cables and the breakin will be more apparent... 
If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire?
I have tried so many wires over the years and currently own PCOCC stranded (Furutech), PCOCC solid core (Harmonic Technology), solid core braided silver (HGA), and others here that I occasionally swap out just for fun. I can honestly say, that I ... 
Cable Break In for the Naysayers
Yeah, the measurement thing can be a real dichotomy in that it would be nice for both measurements and listening experiences to match, either both good or both bad, but alas, that too often doesn't seem to be the case with this audio stuff. I hav...
