Re: Recommended network components
Never again as in didn't bother again, or as in such an awful experience, "never again!"? :) 'Never again' as in I couldn't be arsed. I actually wasn't aware of another firmware update as I never bothered to check. I don't recall the update process being anything but smooth sailing. It would be int...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
The clips below are a journey through 50 years of amplification - musically engaging amps that is. Each system was warmed up and recorded one morning this week. All fronted by Lingo 2, Ekos 2, VM95ML and Slipsik 8. Naim 12/160 ('74 - '77): https://www.dropbox.com/s/2ja7lgtt6pvvruz/20221107_092936.m...

Re: Recommended network components
Whilst on the subject of GS308T setup, has anyone updated the firmware? Mine came with 1.0.2.2, but there is a 1.0.5.6 available... Just wondering if anyone keeps their switch firmware up-to-date, or leaves alone (I had updated the 108T when I got it, and updated again to the latest... Figure it's ...

Re: It really ties the room together
Well, it's very tidy now. Will you spend the LP12 money on your HiFi? In an ideal world, yes. But my primary goal right now is to relocate to somewhere in Europe, so I'll have to wait until after the dust settles to know if an upgrade is within reach. The only upgrade I'm interested in at the momen...

Re: It really ties the room together
I've gone all-in on this digital thing:
A well fettled LP12 will be up for sale soon, as soon as I can bring myself to actually part with it.

Re: Recommended network components
I remembered to take the photos last night so here are the three power supply units from my Netgear switches. The top unit is the one that came with the GS308T that sounds the best with the wire going the opposite way to the other two. The second unit and the third have the same part numbers which ...

Re: Recommended network components
I believe Thomas found that the 308T psu dresses to the left, while the 108T psu dresses to the right... (both with an outlet oriented with the ground pin down 'o' ) Rereading his posts, it seems as if the orientation is simply plug/psu dependent; it doesn't change between switches :phew: ;) That a...

Re: Recommended network components
Between switch, power supply, and cable orientation, that's quite a few upgrades in 'one'. And there's more! But that's a topic for another conversation. Out of interest, was the preferred plug orientation of the 108's power supply the same for both 108T & 308T switch(es)? (follow-up q: if the pref...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
It appears we have a clear winner. A is the 308T, B the 108Tv2, confirming previous findings. I conducted this test similar to ThomasOK's, in that I used the same power supply and plug orientation for both units. However in this case I used the wallwart that was supplied with the 308T, simply becaus...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises
Apparently I'm not going crazy...yet. That's a relief! I posted up those clips because I felt like I was hearing differences where there shouldn't be any, but it was possible what I heard was within the margin of bias, so I needed confirmation. Everyone who responded is in agreement with what I hear...

Re: Volumio Spotify
If I'm reading these* correctly the Spotify plugin in Volumio v2 stopped working in May due to using an old library... Seems Volumio revised the plugin but in v3; not v2. Fair warning: I don't use Volumio so can't verify - it's just my interpretation from a quick skim of the community thread. Hopef...

Re: Volumio Spotify
Murphy's Law dictates that only after posting a question to a public form will the answer reveal itself. To that end, I stumbled upon a working solution, although not the solution I was looking for, not 30 minutes after posting the above message. Here's what I fingered out: With the Spotify Connect ...
