A few factors are limiting me firing it up.
The lamest (and easiest to fix) is that some of my gear is still with my cousin.
Fuses, grounding box, RCAs, BR Big Pads, Akiko Audio Triple AC Enhancer.

My recent discoveries:
Grounding cables from AliExpress (Hi IC Store)
Gustard fuse
SR Purple fuse
Aucharm XL grounding box
Schramm weights
I'll let you know whether the shungite works when I receive it.

Still unsure what would be best use of my two grounding boxes.
Options are; network switch, Project streamer, M2Tech Evo 2 USB/SPIDF converter, Evo Clock.
I'm thinking streamer and Evo 2?
Dac has an Akiko Audio USB stick.

Recently bought an Audiolab DC Block to get rid of my amp's transformer hum.
Also a Blue Jeans FE I2S Cable.
And a GhentAudio DC cable for the linear power supply feeding the modem.

I think I'm just about done.
And not in a MT kind of way.
Last purchases were an Akiko Audio Fuse Box Pro and a Pink Faun Lan Isolator.

I'd like to be a fly on the wall when family discuss my music, system and er, 'interesting' habits related to them Doubt it would go on for long Nutter |

If I tell them what I enjoy doing, they look at me as if I'm the dysfunctional one There is also the classic Are you on commission ? when I point out how good something is I am well aware I am a philistine in certain areas I don't care about or connect with When I do care and connect I often find I'm *on* it far more than any others. Takes time and life force but its the right thing to do |

I get looked at oddly.
When it comes to my audio obsession.
The last was my electrician. As expected.

Looking to set it up as a Roon Core to run Rock.

Does anyone run a second network switch by their modem?
Worthwhile?
