5 years...my hat is off to you. Patience is a virtue...
Thank you, Fred. But, honestly, it was not about patience. I simply had much bigger things to worry about during that period.

‘Satanic’ Georgia Guidestones partially destroyed in early morning bombing

Thank you, Brad!Hi Ron,
So happy for you that things are starting to move forward again. I can't wait to see pictures of the progression.
When I renovated and added on to our home I was without my system for about 2 1/2 years. that was painful.
Keep us updated on the progress with pics please.
Very exciting! Look forward to seeing it come to life soon for you both!After five years of delay work on a repair in the room adjacent (combination home theater and audio equipment room below, and LP and tape storage, record cleaning desk, home office and miscellaneous storage in loft above) to my listening room has finally begun.
My new contractor for the final set of renovations to the house, Tony Cosko, of CalCoast Construction, is the same contractor who installed the electrical infrastructure in the listening room several years ago. He is making progress in the adjacent room on a daily basis.
When that work is done we can have the adjacent room painted, and then the adjacent room and the rear two-thirds of the listening room can be carpeted. Then I can begin to move audio components into the listening room.
I alerted Jason Lord of The Source AV in Torrance, California, who incredibly graciously has been storing my four giant Pendragon crates for five years. I'm a bit nervous about the speakers. I hope we do not find rust or spiderwebs around the towers when we finally open the crates. I hope the ribbon drivers themselves were carefully selected and tested from the last batch received by Gryphon from Bohlender-Graebener ("BG") before BG went out of business. I have always been a little bit nervous about the BG ribbon drivers. Flemming assured me that Gryphon has a lifetime supply of good BG drivers for Pendragons in the field.
Jim White is going to re-commence work on my Io. Brian Berdan is going to box up my Siegfried IIs and TL-7.5 Series III. David has incredibly graciously been storing my AS-2000 (first one to order, I believe, and last one to receive!) racks for five years as well.
I can finally see some dim light at the end of the tunnel. I am beginning to think I will have a big stereo playing music closer to the beginning of this decade than to the end of this decade.

I will not for the foreseeable future have the funds for a second tonearm/cartridge combination. David will be installing my ZYX UNIverse Premium on an SME 3012R.
The beginning of my long-delayed adventure with the new components of this system is now not that far away.
Thank you, Lloyd!Very exciting! Look forward to seeing it come to life soon for you both!
Hi Ron,should I connect the streamer to the Internet via an ethernet cable that I plugged into an ethernet jack on the walk near the source components, or do I connect the streamer to the Internet via Wi-Fi?
My connection is different than any, I have ever heard anyone describe.When the time comes for me to buy a DAC should I connect the streamer to the Internet via an ethernet cable that I plugged into an ethernet jack on the walk near the source components, or do I connect the streamer to the Internet via Wi-Fi?
Thank you!
My connection is different than any, I have ever heard anyone describe.
I have a coaxial cable the comes directly from the fiber connection box on the outside of our home. In my room it is connected to an ActionTec converter. Coaxial in one side and Ethernet out the other side. It requires its own power supply.
That Ethernet cable connects to my switch that feeds my NAS and Server.
Unless the system some how, does things I don't understand, it seems I don't go through the router that all other direct connections in the house do.
Hi Ron,
I'm happy for you that things are progressing.
Your question is not so easy to answer. Many are satisfied with WLAN. Dan Bellity preferred WLAN for his La Rosita streamer because galvanic isolation was important to him. I prefer a stable connection over fiber, which also galvanically isolates. I consider a good switch to be very important.
That's how I implemented it:
Do I really need an " Audio Grade Network Switch "?
Ethernet is a rather complicated matter. ;) After a lot of testing and evaluation, my network (see picture below) is the best in "my system" so far. Before the description the disclosure of my financial interests. The fis Audio PCs / Servers I sell. To the other devices there is no economic...www.whatsbestforum.com
