Re: Recommended network components
thank you for directing me to the article - I was reading through it but I can only find options for the FritzBox to be setup after an ISP modem but not to be used only as a modem. That means the other option would be to set the Amplifi in Bridge mode but than I would lose UPNP functionality which I...

Re: Recommended network components
just an anecdote: it seems to me that the Amplifi makes differences in your network easily transparent. I used one Amplifi on my computer to rip some CD‘s to my NAS - to keep moving parts at the minimum I used the Amplifi which feeds the GS108 and the streamer. After I ripped the CD‘s I put everythi...

Re: Recommended network components
my suspicion is the improvement comes through the wifi part (galvanic separation) - for me the difference is so big that I rate it much higher as the integration of the GS108 or new interconnects and that makes it worth to invest the 150,-Euro or USD in a second Amplifi - thats what I recommend for...
Re: EVENTS
usually I would go but nowadays only if Fredrik would present his product line and to meet him and Marco from Hexagon Audio
for the rest of the audio equipment presented there I have decreasing interest

Re: JBL 308P and 708P
now after having optimized everything with the JBL‘s I have to say they are simply the best speakers I owned so far. There was an issue that they „rocked“ out of the optimal position and I asked myself why are they sounding different after a while until I found out they moved. Clear 2mm thick tape s...

Re: Recommended network components
Congrats Defender, IIUC the Fritzbox works now as modem only? not really actually I use the Fritzbox still for the rest of ethernet and wifi traffic for family and work. The Amplifi’s are my own separate audio wifi network. Only I have access to the wifi password. not sure if thats diminishing the ...

Re: Recommended network components
yes Amplifi HD rocks - I had my Fritz Box (DSL Modem and Router incl. Wifi) connected through wall wired ethernet cable to the living room and from there to the GS108 and further to the Akurate DS. So the most straight forward ethernet cable connection including the GS108. Now this wall ethernet cab...

Re: Recommended network components
Asus RT-AX92U - AX6100 Not saying that it is an indicator for musicality, but yours is Wifi6 and the Amplifi HD is Wifi5 mmh in my understanding Azazello has just proven that the same change that Fredrik did (replacing a 5m ethernet cable for a Wifi transfer with two Wifi routers) also makes an imp...

I hope I get my Amplifi HD‘s this week - I will make some clips before 1 using a Fritzbox 7590 as Modem/Router but directly wired over Ethernet and after 2 with one Amplifi HD (Fritzbox used as Wifi Router => Amplifi HD) and 3 with two Amplifi HD‘s (Fritzbox as Modem =>WAN to Amplifi 1 =>Wifi to Amp...

Re: Recommended network components
yeah it certainly would make sense that less devices make for better music but we are in the digital world which would also question why we use the GS108 even though we wouldn’t need to. I might test both configurations as soon as I have sourced two HD‘s but my system is still with a NAS which I tha...

Re: Recommended network components
@Tokenbrit: as I read it Fredrik already gave the answers but hope he will clarify. The first HD has the WAN Ethernet cable from the modem The second HD has the Ethernet cable to the GS108 so both HDs are only having one ethernet cable attached which Fredrik „thinks“ is the key. If you only use one ...

Re: Beck and his black boxes.
hey Beck yes I have the same feeling - even though I liked the DSD/SACD/high resolution sound impression in the beginning I now see myself often going back to normal resolution music and even enjoy it more.

thats an really interesting find - thank you for it I have a Fritzbox which is modem and router in one go. Currently my GS108 is connected to the fritzbox with one Ethernet cables through wall sockets. If I would integrate one HD I could have it right next to the GS108 so in this case the Ethernet c...

I have a question with respect to the ground loop maybe created in case Klimax DS and Akurate DS are used together with Sagatun Monos, LP12 and the JBL 308‘s: since my main listening is through the LP12 wouldnt it be the better solution to break the ground loop in just lifting the earth on the power...

thank you Jajo, that was really helpful. It seems you describe the same thing I am wondering about why it is not there even though I dont compare to the 3677 but to my Dynaudio Contour 60. Musicality with the 308 is simply better but with the Dynaudio I have the feeling the impression does not chang...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P
if the JBL 3677 is 100% in this capability how far away is the 708 from the 100% and how far are the 308 in your opinion?
and what does the compression driver in the 708 do better than the one in the 308?

Re: JBL 308P and 708P
yes would be interested to hear clips. how high above the floor have your JBL308 have been placed? I dont question the ability of the Tundra Monos together with the 3677 but your setup of the JBLs 308 looked like they are positioned too high. I tested stands yesterday which are 63,5cm above the floo...

Re: XLR to RCA cables or adaptors?
XLR is used in professional setups where you usually have much much longer cable lengths and a lot of chances for interferences. The intention is that outside influences (electrical fields etc.) are compensated out. But the XLR /symmetric circuit design is more challenging and can create issues if t...

Re: XLR to RCA cables or adaptors?
its one of the secrets from Fredrik but he is not the only one who is doing it that way
I have also heard some use a thermistor to not directly connect signal ground and mains ground
