Well, I have two, so certainly possible. Got your PM, thanks.

I've played around with streamer before using a Mac Mini with power supply removed and powered by a LPS. Although not a final solution it gave me some ideas of what streaming could do.

My OPERA Consonance DAC can work direct with a NAS media server (via direct USB) but I decided to go the full isolation route and feed the DAC via ETHERNET and bridge to the media server in another room. These are older photos but given the concept of what was done. All is done to eliminate noise and increase isolation.

I wanted to go with the Entreq solution (instead of the LPS) , but unfortunately the word from Enteq is the battery is not stable in the Empire Primer Pro so Entreq is discontinuing it.

Thank you for such a helpful reply and for taking the trouble to include the photos.

Who's going to be the first to report on the Max T?

Thanks for the update! Have asked.

Preliminary conclusions? The Max T is excellent...but unlike (at least in our system) the Peak 4 which ultimately proved to be a drop-in replacement to the Everest, the Max T is not. All Everests were replaced by Peak 4s...13 of them to be exact...even though we LEFT the original wooden binding posts on 3 of the 16 total binding posts...neither the Everest nor the Peak 4 worked in those places.

Fast forward and the Max Ts started out very very strong...basically a strong powerful boost of dynamics, energy and power. Music became even more 'alive'. Not lively, but alive.

However, as you really listen, the articulation of the Max 4s was special, and its ability in certain situation to 'boost' signal was also most welcome. However, in the case of the preamp, the boost was not necessary and it also seemed to push midrange/some treble articulation while going a little light on bass. That definitely did NOT happen elsewhere...mainly amps...where bass became more powerful and also more propulsive/timely.

In the end of the total 16 (originally 13 Peak 4s, 3 wooden), we ended up with 7 Peak 4s, 2 wooden and 7 Max Ts. Discovering new words, new string contributions on very very subtlely mastered albums. New layering. Highly recommended as long as you listen carefully...not a drop in replacement over Everest.

Wonderful.

Did you use the Max T on the unused binding posts?

I did...it seemed to work well where the Max T was on a 'boosting' binding post supporting/connecting to another binding post that was then going out to a component. The amps liked them best. Then the 2 Receivus. Then there was one wooden post which benefited from its greater clarity without losing some of that upper bass thwack (Zanden).

Recently have discovered using a magma Tungsten footer underneath the LPS (powering the music server) near where the transformer is, was very good improvement. (Before only tried on top of the LPS) This discovery led me to try more things with the LPS. Placing mini-wraps around the DC cable coming from the LPS and around the DC going into the Music Server was a big quality boost. Put a Magma footer on top of each of the mini wraps further boosted the sound. Grounded the chassis of the LPS with a Macro box with a Vibbeater on top of the Macro box.

Lesson learned, if you have a Music Server, don't ignore the grounding and EMI/RFI of the LPS powering that server.

Question for those of you with Magma footers using underneath electronics. Did you notice a settling time? We all know that connecting your electronics to a Entreq grounding box improves over time, but what about the footers? Do the electronics need time in order to properly settle on the Magma footers?

Good to know and accords with my observation that digital, computers seem to benefit from Entreq's works. Enjoy!

I found it more similiar to Entreq wraps than grounding (which took 9 days because our grounding cables are extremely long)...generally, it works or it does not. Easily within day...every once in a while, physical settling in can take a little while but I think from recollection that is more speakers than electronics. Hope that helps.

You can buy Tungsten. I have added some to a PVC tube that is connected to the Entreq via a silver conductor to one of the binding posts.

Interesting...I have stayed away from fuses not understanding the implications on the equipment if something happens. So I have stayed away...again due to my own lack of technical understanding. But the LAN Jitter is great, really quite special.
