Each LPS got an Audience AU24SE MP power cord. Lastly, the network got AudioQuest Diamond Ethernet Cables.

There are still other tweaks I can implement such as Linear Power Supplies for my Synology DS-3018XS NAS, Netgear Nighthawk X10 Router and Cable Modem. I may also add an audiophile switch but frankly, the Nighthawk X10 works and sounds so excellent with its 6 Ethernet LAN ports, I’m reluctant to add another switch in the chain when it’s really unnecessary.

Hi Ken,
Thanks for your post for this discussion. Yep, I read the Audiostream review of the GigaFoil V4 from info provided by Jim (Still-One). For The Love of Music is using Keces LPS's, too.

With the very high-quality components of your digital front end, GigaFoil, two Keces LPS' and AQ Diamond Ethernet cables and the Audience PCs, I would expect it would sound very good indeed.

I'm trying to do this on the cheap, though. I would estimate two Keces P-8 LPS, the GigaFoilV4, 2 X 0.75M AQ Diamond Ethernet cables & two Audience AU24SE MP PCs would cost approximately....$8000?

It must sound fabulous...
