    Advice on LAN/Ethernet cable

    I can hear slight differences but even with the uber expensive one that I have the difference is insignificant. Out of the normal consumer grade cables I found the CAT8 from Ugreen to be quite good. Its a 24AWG cable and is cheap as chips. Takealot has several different lengths.

    New Tidal HiRes (Max tracks) vs Roon (@CD level)?

I do hear differences but to my ears Tidal seems to be have less mid range slam and colour, which I especially...

    Shoutout to Audio Tweak

    Been a few queries regarding the details of the upgrade so here we go: 1. Replaced the power cable with a Teflon coated cable; Teflon is known for its shielding and damping properties. 2. Replaced the speaker cable with a Duelund cable which is highly respected for the "organic" sounding cables...

    Shoutout to Audio Tweak

    I would just like to give a huge shout out to Ramsey at @Audio Tweak for the work done to my audio system. Some may have seen my comments on the ODAM thread where one of my Valve Audio Exclames was upgraded. The amplifier is truly amazing, and for those that are happy with their Valve Audio...

    What makes Sonor Audio speakers special!, the first in a series of videos narrated by the man himself Roy Witelson.

    Awesome video! Having experienced a taste of Sonor Audio at the Audio Show in Johannesburg a little while ago, I was truly impressed with what talent we have available locally.

    FS -DACs VH Audio V-Caps, new Audio Tweak agency.

    So I've had the Exclame back for over a week now and just wanted to give my impressions for those that my be interested in a similar path. I purchased the Exclame in 2019 and absolutely love it.

    Ethernet cables

    I'm not sure what exactly the issues are in the post mention on top but I'm using Cat8 cable from Ugreen with no issues. I tried several other cables as I had endless problems with ROON until I used the Cat8 cable, maybe because I was up-sampling to the highest PCM sample rate and the other...
