Etheregen - doesn't seem right that it gets so hot, dangerous? Unpredictable?
This network device as glorious as it may be gets extremely hot, almost burning to the touch. Something doesn't seem right about that.
Is there a good alternative to using this thing, it was about $600 which isn't cheap. Optical connectivity which I like seems to be a good thing.
Frankly I'm not sure what the value is it with it vs something else that may be operationally more healthy to use. So I disconnected it because the heat level seems kind of dangerous. I have no confidence that it will Control itself and get absolutely and dangerously too hot in the future.
Antipodes EX, do you use this as a substitute for the ether regen. Interesting putting heat sinks on the etherregen. Frankly there has to be a better Ethernet switch that also accommodates an optical port. Although maybe you have to get an optical converter. Don't think the eitherRegen is worth the trouble to deal with heat sinks. Still no answer on why it gets so hot. |
fastfreight, I never heard of the Muon Filter I needed to look it up. Once I did it does seem promising, I’m not sure if it is available in the US or what it would cost. Also, I am using the Ether Regen to convert the ethernet to fiber optical to run direct to my Lumin X1 so I’m not sure if it would have a use for the Muon Filter with this application. But I guess it could go before the Ether Regen. ozzy |
Oh the Muon Filter is Audio Network's (England) new ethernet filter, made to surpass the previous Eno Filter. If you get their matching ethernet cable, it is the 'Mupn System' I made a nice improvement in my ethernet, and they are very nice to email with questions about your system. Not sure if you need it for fibre... |
@ozzy watch the video. I think he even addresses using the Muon filter with the Ether Regen but not sure about the optical feature. |
