The theory of constraints states that you can only go as fast as your weakest link. We think about that logic a lot in the home audio world. The best speakers in the world, limited by an under-powered amplifier or a sub-par sound processor will limit those world class speakers to the weakest link in the system. Being thoughtful about those bottlenecks is important to designing a home audio system that maximizes our senses.
At Saint Louis Audio we are huge streaming fans. Apple TV, Apple Music, all delivering a digital signal to our audiophile components into our home theaters and sound systems. One often limiting factor to that experience is your home network, your ability to send near bit-perfect information to your components over your network without compression or loss.
Chris, one of our founders here at Saint Louis Audio, while being an avid audiophile, also happens to be a home network/security expert. We offer home network consultation for anyone interested at no charge. The goal is to reduce or eliminate bottlenecks in data but home networking guidance and topics can range greatly. Any home networking questions you might have just ask. We enjoy chatting about this stuff - access points, switches, routers, firewalls, & other security solutions.
