Update on good Ethernet switch


ASI mentioned before I didnot want to say the brand until I heard the Ethernet switch not only after 300 hours which was recommended having a OX over controlled clock , 

and with what myself always do the weak link on any audio component starts with the stock power cord , for minimal monies the Pangea using Cardas grade 1 copper 6-9s. Awg14 sig,Mk2 , and getting rid of the 50 cent bottle neck fuse I put in a 1.25amp 20mm L ,slow blow synergistic purple fuse  these increase fidelity at least 5-7% the switch itself At least 5%  if you know the name Jays audio for transports ,his other company LHY Audio  the SW8 Ethernet switch for   $595 nothing has all this in a nice machined aluminum case , even the uptone ether regen or Sonore deluxe  using a with fiber optic which btw lessens the realism imo both were used witha Sbooster2 LPS , ,theSW8 Ethernet switch  is a great buy ,and if you add a decent power cord  and upgrade the fuse you  will be rewarded further , 7 of us reviewed this and 6 out of 7 thought it was a noticeable improvement vs the others  there were2 other brands which were more ,that were not even that good and had switch mode pS

@audioman58  Thanks for your post.  Not sure I followed it all but I appreciat it.

   I have one question.  How warm does it run.  I'm becoming intolerant of the new brand of audio components with supercaps and high current chargers that run very warm to the touch--some at high as 150 F and you can't hold your hand on them.  Hopefully this isnt the case here.

I see they have a dealer in texas.  They also carry Kinki Studios.  I have their amp and it is an excellent piece of equipment.   Also very nicely designed case.  

LHY has a second switch, twice as big, twice as much money, but looks like the money was put into more power supply and better clock.  Might be worth a try.

I have an ether-regen switch but might be looking to try this one. Thanks for posting it.

It does not get that warm ,the case being all aluminum acts in part like a heat sink.
