    Cerious Tech Lumniscate Cables

    No idea! Not at all familiar with these products. I have two AQ Niagara 5000 units in my system and love the product. Has made a meaningful contribution to SQ.

    Shunyata Theta/Gamma Lines - Do they surpass the Delta/Venom of the previous generation?

    I am 100% committed to Cerious Lumniscate power cords and interconnects, but he doesn't make USB or network cables. But based on a dealer whose judgement I respect who DID hear the ethernet cable , AND in speaking with Shunyata factory rep, I am satisfied it wil likely be a giant killer. I...

    Shunyata Theta/Gamma Lines - Do they surpass the Delta/Venom of the previous generation?

    Yes; I spoke with a dealer who had Shunyata factory people in his showroom and auditioned and said they are a giant killer. I am referring specifically to the Theta Ethernet cable priced at $500 MSRP. So more than a little interested .

    Visit to Clarisys Auditoriums + CH Precision System in Spokane, Washington

    I actually watched this excellent interview entirely by chance last night , @Ron Resnick. Congrats on a great review. What a room and what a system! Have you heard ANY system with and without the Ideon Absolute Time? And where in the chain would one deploy it? Would it drop in between the...

    Which Antipodes as Roon Core, streaming bridge and local server?

    I’m with you on that. I feel about vinyl the way I feel about books. I know many people still like to turn pages but I haven’t read a paper book since the first iPad came out. I like to listen to music in dim light and it’s WAY easier for me to read a digital book on a backlit display where I...

    Which Antipodes as Roon Core, streaming bridge and local server?

    It sounds as though you seek a one box solution such as a K50 or Oladra? If this is the case you would absolutely want it to reside in your music room next to or very close to your DAC. I began my experience with Roon using an iMac to host the Core, than moved to a dedicated (SGC) music server...

    Which Antipodes as Roon Core, streaming bridge and local server?

    I started with the K22 and was BLOWN AWAY, as I had a great streamer in the Sonore Signature Rendu SE - a superb streamer. I then purchased the K41 server. But Antipodes is next level for sure. Here is a good review I stumbled upon.

    Antipodes K41 - The Tipping Point

    Years ago working for a premier brokerage firm the principal of the firm gave us all a copy of Malcom Gladwell’s now famous book, “The Tipping Point.” It was required reading for those of us in Sales & Marketing. The essential theme of the book was that dramatic change seldom if ever occurs in...

    Cerious Tech Lumniscate Cables

    **UPDATE* Hi guys; Not that often that I get this stoked about anything - let alone a power cord. But my Antipodes K41 server is just about completely broken in and sounded truly great. But I took Robert Grost from Cerious at his word that an upgrade form the Graphene Extreme PC TO his...

    SFP Rolling? Anyone?

    I sure love them. Ppl just need to be sure they have an SFP transceiver that’s compatible. Cable is designed ONLY for single mode and NOT multi mode

    SFP Rolling? Anyone?

    You might be surprised. The EtherREGEN is quite special and wouldn’t add any lag or latency And likewise the Sonore Module is unique. Both serve to improve timing and eliminate jitter. If you could find a distributor in the UK perhaps he’d let you try before you buy. At the end of the day it’s...

    SFP Rolling? Anyone?

    No kidding, huh? It’s only because I got so much excess for free that I’m able to offer at this price. The seller didn’t want them back. And yes, here in the U.S. the market price is about $50 US. A few months back I bought the same cable but 10 feet. It was $53 including tax and shipping !

    SFP Rolling? Anyone?

    Hi guys; since my reply to @harsheel_dbs a few members have taken advantage of of my "giving back to the community" offer. I have about 25 of these cables remaining - FFWLCLC42-JXF006 - and decided the most simple way to get this from me to you is at a fixed cost of $10 via USPS. . I need to...

    SFP Rolling? Anyone?

    Hi guys; just to add to this thread as I wanted to share a "unique" opportunity. Some time ago I updated a relatively inexpensive Finisar SFP for the Finisar FTLX1475D3BTL transceiver and it absolutely took my system to a new level. I paired it with a highly recommended Commscope...

    The Initial Impact of the K22 & K41 On My Life

    Thx, Tom; will check it all out and revisit. Sorry but had a cardio procedure last week and still a bit foggy. I think the surgeon re-wired my brain to some degree. I'll start by downloading the app and all sb clear once that is done . ;)
