| Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333? @roccl007 , I think I know what you mean by the slightly syrupy sound, related to the Diablo 300. Not a negative on its own but I could seem how this could be compounded by other components with a similar effect. Best of luck with the Diablo 333... | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? Thanks All - New Router, CAT-8 Cables, Grounding Boxes, and THC - Got It! These are all great ideas that will likely improve sound quality (esp THC - what is that, “Total Harmonic Control” or something? Sounds promising. But none of these will ... | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? @audphile1 , I used to have the amp plugged into the PSM156 but have been running it into the wall directly for some time now, in a dedicated 20A line. While I prefer it plugged into the wall, I didn’t actually experience any loss of dynamics, en... | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? @tonnesen that is a very interesting option (running off of batteries). Are there any downsides to the SQ vs other more traditional alternatives? I did read a report from a fellow Audiogoner who had much experience with conditioners before goi... | |
| It's your streamer, not your modem I agree the streamer is more important than the things that come before it. But the HiFi network switches also help. My PhoenixNET makes a positive difference I can’t live without (although I’ll be trying a Tempus soon to see how it compares). Th... | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? Thanks All, lots of ideas and as I mentioned I’ve been dealing with this issue for a few years now, with numerous changes to my system during that period. Lots of great ideas to improve my upstream network to consider. That said, while these idea... | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? Thanks for the ideas All. My sound has not experienced a SIGNIFICANT dip in quality since Friday evening so I’ve not yet had the chance to test streamed vs local file during a “bad” period. To answer a few questions that have come up: No I don... | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? Was researching whether the issue could be my Valhalla 2 speaker cables (since I first noticed the issue after upgrading to these cables) and I came across a thread on that topic on this forum, that I had started years ago. Didn’t recall it but th... | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? Just had a thought. People in this thread have mentioned that a component could be to blame. But the only gear that has not been swapped in or out while the issue has persisted, besides cabling, is my Diablo 300 integrated. Everything else has bee... | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? @lordrootman, I’ve had this problem for a couple of years in my system, prior to my 20A dedicated lines and prior to my conditioners. In fact, the dedicated 20A lines and conditioners was my first attempt to address the issue. I even engaged @ki... | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? @jeffseight just read up on the Add Power devices and they sure look interesting. Would definitely like to try one if I could but at the same time, it doesn’t look designed to deal with the specific issues that I’m having. | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? @wsrrsw I’ve tried cutting power to the TV, and yeah, I did think of that. No devices or appliances are near my system. LED household pot lights are near by. No cell towers or anything nearby that I know of. It’s generally (but not always) the s... | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? @jeffseight , I am based in western Canada. Never heard of the device you are referring to but I’ll look into it - thanks for the suggestion. I’ve not been able to measure the quality of my power as I don’t have a meter that reads THD. I mentione... | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? @jkevinoc , I believe you are correct in the way that modern playback software works. But I don’t believe the “captured” and cached stream would be a bit-perfect copy of an equivalent purchased local file at the same bit rate. Possibly due to diff... | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? Was looking forward to comparing my streamed song against the local file tonight during the “bad” period, but unfortunately for the test, it’s really not sounding bad at all tonight. Not at all like last night which was unlistenable. And, one ki... |
