I found in my house that paying attention to shielding, calbe routing, and what switches I was using paid off in throughput in the network. When I upgraded to gigabit internet (long story. but if you can ... DO!) I found my wired network was much slower than my wireless. I upgraded my router, cables and switches and found that my sound improved greatly when I switched to shielded cables (pseudo Cat-7). Another neat trick is to get the gret 3M anti-static bags and wrap them around the areas where you connect cables - or individual cables, and throughput improves, too. But I had to buy and ditch a few cables that were supposed to be "Cat-7" that weren't even shielded, or in one case the shield was on the cabl but not hooked up to the shield don the connector!
I also had to move my phono amp away from my switch further, too. That helped with records.
I'll be honest with you - when I saw the cross section of the Audioquest, I realized that with a slightly larger budget, and a little less tech, I'd buy Pearls to Cinnamon and be done with it in the "problem solved" kind of way.
None of this is rocket science.
And for the record, I didn't find the Part Time review to be a POS. But horses for courses!
