Power Cords and Ethernet Cables
I've had the opportunity to play with power cords and Ethernet cables over the last few months. None of the Ethernet cables I tried convinced me, they were no better musically than my Blue Jeans Cat 6a. It is similar with the power cords. However, there is a power cord, which surprises me. With thes...

Re: General Discussion about Källa
First of all, thank you very much for trying to help me. Källa was visible as an unused connection, but could not establish a connection. The connection in the browser with the fixed IP also no longer worked. One more thing. After a lot of nerve-racking trial and error yesterday, I removed Källa as ...

I have now used the IP Network Scanner. Källa does not appear there either.

Re: General Discussion about Källa
I have assigned Källa a fixed IP address. Yesterday and today I listened to music. Later I disconnected Källa from the power supply, hard power switch, without shutting down the device. After switching it on, it does not connect again. It is also no longer visible in the router. I have tried this: K...

Re: Linn versus Naim amps
I note on other forums that it can be fashionable to insult Linn amplifiers. I think generally they are very good. They do not make music sound like hifi. If you are expecting a traditional hifi sound you may be disappointed. What do you mean, Donuk? Does that mean that the Linn devices are not abl...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Hi Beck, I listened to the clips on the Ipad yesterday. I prefer the before clip. The music comes across wonderfully.
In the After clip, the music makes no sense to me, it is meaningless.

Re: Melco S100 Network Switch
I refuse to believe that digital is the problem with me. After all, I listened to music with great satisfaction for 10 years with a Naim CD3.5 CD player. At that time I also had an LP12/Lingo/Akito2. I liked analogue and digital equally. In my case, it's something else.

Re: Melco S100 Network Switch
This time it was not easy for me to make a decision. I listened to the clips a few times and like them both. However, I found a slight preference for clip 1. The music seems more natural to me, more human, as if I were there live.

Re: Melco S100 Network Switch
So, let's come to the resolution of the comparison. It was clearer with these. We all voted for: 1 = Melco/Sbooster With this example we can see again that a theoretical technical advantage (galvanic separation, fibre optics) does not necessarily have to be musically advantageous. So we must remain ...

Re: Melco S100 Network Switch
If the extreme experiences with the Melco in the shop had often been repeated at home, I would not have hesitated to buy the Melco. But presumably no system can afford that anymore, so I remain modest and live with what I have.... Until the next temptation and hope...:):) What do you think was the ...

Re: Melco S100 Network Switch
Consider though. The price for full equipment of the Melco is a lot of money for me. For me, it means choosing carefully according to cost/benefit. This can look very different for you.

Re: Melco S100 Network Switch
A small remark on the side. I am doing this for you, not for me. My decision whether to have the Melco or not is not dependent on what the winner of the comparison will be and was made long before the clips were recorded. Thank you, am I right that in this case everything went back to the store? Ma...

If you want, we can do a 2nd comparison. After all, there is another recording of it... .. I wanted to make my work easy and be sure. :) Understandable :) I wouldn't suggest a 2nd comparison as a priority, but might be worth including (if possible) between 108T and the best S100 configuration, once...
