Ethernet Switch- what's the point?

@fredrik222 I'd say back away from the keyboard, think some calm thoughts, double up on your bp meds and take the rest of the day off.

@yoyoyaya  It's not an authority fallacy, it's simply basic facts. However, not everyone understand these facts, but they want to portray themselves as have an understanding. 

Take the example of John Swenson, founder of UpTone and designer of Etherregen. He was forced to admit that he made up terms, terms that does not mean anything, for his intended customer base with the Etherregen. Why forced, because he was confronted by actual engineers.

So again, a switch cannot improve anything, this is a basic fact. A really good switch doesn't add too much latency, no jitter, or packet loss, while a bad switch introduces lots of bad things. Luckily, most $30 switches are more than capable to handle most residential applications. 

@carlsbad2 This is where you go every time you get actually proof of how things work. Can you just stop spewing the garbage you normally do, since it is only lies?

ad nauseum 

And why? People just don’t search the forums. Easier to post a new thread and agitate that barely had a chance to develop some dry crust pile of 💩 to ensure that it continues to reek.

One day when I’m bored I might start about half a dozen ethernet related threads. And heck, while I’m at it, might as well just start few “why do cables matter” threads. Drop that massive deuce into the forums and run.

Oh Freddy Freddy .... @fredrik222 .... you never disappoint. Guaranteed to post your usual propaganda on every (and only) networking threads.

So many misinformation and outright made up lies on this part. John Swenson is no founder, or even owner of UpTone Audio. Alex Crespi is the founder and the sole owner. John Swenson was hired from UpTone, and he has done work for many audio companies. (i.e. Sonore Audio, and many more).

Besides, can you share a source for the "John Swenson admitting he made up things" part of your post? Any links citing John Swenson saying that would do.
