Buddy can you spare a dime for a $12,000 Ethernet cable?
While I absolutely love the results I’m getting from the $650 EtherRegen switch, and hear differences in Ethernet cables, I had to gulp at the prices one company is charging. Maybe I should start a Gofundme for contributions.
From TAS
“Ansuz Acoustics’ introduction of an entire line of Ethernet-related products. Of course, there were cables, and the A2 (approx. $1800 for one meter) and D-TC (approx. $12,600 for one meter) delivered a much wider soundstage and more palpable vocals than generic Ethernet cable. The D-TC model added noticeably crisper transients and even more spatial expansion. But the most eye-opening demo was of a line of Ethernet switches priced from $2200 to a whopping $14,000. Generic Ethernet switches are about $100 at Best Buy, but even the entry-level PowerSwitch proved to be a huge upgrade in terms of noise reduction, and the flagship PowerSwitch Supreme ($14k) made an incredible difference in clarity and dynamics. Dang! Yet another seemingly innocuous element (like power cords) that makes a difference.”

Maybe $250-$300 is all you need to spend on an ethernet cable: https://www.triodewirelabs.com/product/freedom-ethernet-cable/ https://www.monoandstereo.com/2020/01/usb-cable-discrete-and-freedom-ethernet.html I haven't heard it but Pete makes some great cables for the money. All the best, Nonoise |
