| Wifi vs hardwired for streaming @vicweast You can’t even compare your Eero network to that average consumer, as most Eero packages are 3 units, and if they’re the dual-band units they can’t operate at full speed on all APs unless you run ethernet backhauls between them. Not sure... | |
| Wifi vs hardwired for streaming There’s no way WiFi can best a good cat8 ethernet cable. 1st and foremost is that there’s no dropout in a cable. 2nd is that there’s limited interference from outside sources if you’re using a well shielded cable, such as a cat8, in which each of... | |
| Wifi vs hardwired for streaming Repost with edits: @vicweast You’re usually right on the point that most network guys don’t understand analog noise. And, I believe, that in most cases, many audio guys who work with studios don't understand networks and network noise. I, on ... | |
| Wifi vs hardwired for streaming Cat-6 can be both shielded (STP) or unshielded (UTP). Patch cords usually are shielded. | |
| Wifi vs hardwired for streaming To be honest, cat-8 is cat-8 is cat-8. 22 or 26ga. It’s a spec that all cables need to meet. Because of having over 2 dozen competing wireless systems around my house, I rewired my house to 16Gb using Phizli cat-8 cables of varying lengths (2-15m)... | |

| Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables @audphile1 ”how can they be faithful if they are plugged into a speaker terminal…” Hence the question. | |
| Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables @audphile1 Please define “faithful”. Odds are overwhelming that 1 ft of added cable of equal or greater gauge will not add any appreciable resistance or capacitance to any cable to change the resulting sound. The only thing the OP has not define... | |
| Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables Years ago, like before the late 70’s, almost everyone used zip cord. Stereo stores, speaker manufacturers, consumers, pro audio installers. It was that or Belden 5000 series. Monster came out in the late 70’s with their large gauge multi-core spea... | |
| Is Full-size speakers for L-R Rears advisable? Additionally, remember that at that time you were, and still may be, shooting sound through a fabric screen with a bunch of tiny holes in it. The Academy curve took this into account as it also took into account that you were laying sound tracks ... | |
| Is Full-size speakers for L-R Rears advisable? @erik_squires I was the engineering manager for Litton-Westrex until 1983 (when it was sold to Quad-8) which did sound-on-film since the Jazz Singer in 1929, 6-channel film recorders, and record cutting lathes/cutting heads. At the time I worked... | |
| Is Full-size speakers for L-R Rears advisable? The original surround sound standard does not include a need for FS speakers for anything other than LR. All other speakers were 200hz and up. This has been carried through for decades now in the cinemas. Bass has always been handled by sub-woofe... | |
