Fuzzy playback
I have noticed that my system sounds fuzzy or scratchy. I am pretty sure the ethernet connections are the fault.
I have used DeOxIt2 for years. It has been a good fix for this problem. For some reason, I did not do that when I added filters.
I have seen some folks are using other contact enhancers. I don't want to spend $500 a bottle. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
Yes, that is correct. Just like USB. Although packet errors from using a damaged or otherwise defective ethernet cable can cause dropouts. It will always try to retransmit, but failures (even in the field) are not uncommon. I use the 22 AWG version. For ethernet, unlike analog cables, the thickness is not important if the cable is properly specced. You're welcome! And happy listening...

I put deoxit on the rest of my interconnects today. That may be it. I should have known. My crossover is about 30 yrs old. The volume controls are not the best. The RCA bases are not the best. I should call Phil Marchand and get a crossover made. I also have an unknown power supply with lamp cord. So there is bang for the buck there. Too many plug ins as we used to say on the farm. |
Hey @daledeee1 Did you figure out a resolution to your “Fuzzy Playback”? DeOxit? Stabilant 22? LinkUp Cat8 cable? Something else? Hoping you figured it out and might be able to help the rest of us!
