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
Speaking of the innuos Ethernet switch around $3k with discounts it’s on another level Everything sounds judt much more real and refined my brother owns one and I put it in my system for a day outstanding and inside build quality Exceptional I may buy one but first the GreaT T+A 200 dac thsts next in my shopping list. |
I will never visit rjmcinnis to listen to his system. Tend to keep away from narrow minded people. Lolz back. If @audioman58 ever invited me, I'd take the (long) flight, and be there in an instant (or a few instants...) |
@rjmcinnis You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Go learn something. |
To Sioux ad anyone else ,unless you have actually spent time comparing them then you speak out of No credible knowledge ,and nothing to add that’s meaningful the common switch is crap $30 with nothing but noise ,where is the SW8 switch has low noise regulators,linesr power supplies, many filter capacitirs, and a OCXO oven clock , which for $595 and in a machined aluminum case is a true bargain imo.to make it at least another added 5-6% put a decent power cord on it like the Pangea awg14 sig mk2 , and Synergistic purple 1.25 amp Slow blow fuse , or Hifi tuning Supreme gold fuse a easy upgrade , also put a 12v LPS on your modem-router combo vs the $5 crappy 💩 wall wart , little green computer 12v up to 8 amp truly cleans up your incoming stream , |
