Etheregen - doesn't seem right that it gets so hot, dangerous? Unpredictable?

Many years ago I discovered over at audiophilestyle forum,  devices that run at various voltages will take the higher voltage and throw excess off as heat, lower voltages will consume more of supplied voltage, thus, less waste and heat. On the other hand, some claim better sound quality with higher voltage lps on these devices. I've never heard a noticeable change in sound quality.

As for current draw, I've learned many years ago to over spec my lps, therefore, lps  can supply more current than device it powers requires. Lps runs cooler not working to supply max amp it's capable of. Recent thread here on premature failures of Uptone Lps 1, I suspect due to it's very limited amperage output, its straining to supply needed amps to devices its powering, this mean greater heat, heat is enemy of reliability, durability. I've been powering my router for many years with way over spec lps, this on 24/7 high amp draw device, lps and router runs cool, no issues. Same with every single lps and device I'm powering, all run relatively cool with proper lps voltage and amperage match to device it's powering.

thanks @sns

i looked, my uptone power supply sent with the etherregen is 7.5v 4.8 amp dc output (seems pretty healthy)

also i read 97* temp on the top of the e-r unit checked with my infrared thermometer, by touch it feels hot but can leave my hand on it for a good while before being uncomfortable, so it is hot but not searingly so

i guess this is all well within design spec... i do hope the things lasts a long time running like that... it makes a real difference in my system

Yes it runs really hot, and company is unable to explain why. Is anyone seeing any benefit to this product?

Maybe I’ll try hooking it to a better quality plug. Is the one they provide any good?

Is Etherregen the best I can do?

@jumia

Yes, the ether regen works very well. The question is, do you have the kinds of problems that the ether regen addresses? So many of us look to certain products with the expectation that it will "make things better". What if you have a very clean ethernet signal? What "improvement" can be made to a signal that is already very good? All too often, we expect an incremental gain from everything but if you don’t have a problem, how could a given product solve a non-existent problem. Everything isn’t cumulative. For instance, if you have 3 "units" of noise on your incoming ethernet feed and the ether regen will lower "any" ethernet signal to 5 "units" of noise, then we could agree that the ether regen isn’t applicable to your system. It doesn’t make it ineffective, in fact, it is very effective you just might not need the help. I loaned mine to a friend who has a questionable ethernet signal and he is blown away by the positive impact; lower noise floor, soundstage, dynamics, etc all improved and he (like I) WAS kindof a non-believer.

Well, that depends on the problem you are trying to solve and your budget. There are better solution but they are more $$$. Again, what is it you are trying to solve?
