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.
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. |
I take a $5 heat sink from Mundorf on it whic cools it ,, the heat is from the regulators , the heat sink will add to its longevity you but a tube of artic silver paste they use to put on computer processors to fans for under $20 cheap insurance , I take a zip tie to secure the heat sink , parts connecxion look for Mundorf ultra resistors , and then heat sinks buy 2 put paste on surface everything sits in the heat sinks |
