Probably around $4k-5k over recent years anyway, and I’m not a super Hi end guy and I went to an integrated and streaming a few years ago.

| Do upgraded LAN cables/purifiers/switch box make a difference. What is recommended, if so? Honestly the only Ethernet cable that ever made a difference for me was the Blue Jeans & I replaced a 12' Cinnamon with a 6' BJC. I have also been ipressed with the other digi cables from BJC. For the money in my semi-modest little system. I w... | |
