Testing Ethernet switch


If you have bought an "audio" Ethernet switch, don't bother with this thread 

If you question Ethernet switches, here is one test of one brand.

Sounds like a few folks here have purchased "audio quality" switches and their ego is bruised. No one likes to know they have been had.  That is just being human. 

I have provided links to the technical description of how IP and Ethernet work.  That is my evidence.  It is pretty clear it is impossible. All you need to do is to read it. No viewpoints. No opinions. No hear-say.  Technical how it works.  IP does not use magic.  V64 MODEM error correction looks like magic if you want to dig deeper.  But it is actually just math.  It even makes GCR backwards error correction look simple.

I have also repeatedly challenged the "believers" to provide any evidence of how a working to spec layer one can effect the audio. Any hind of a path.  If there is something we do not know, that would be important.   Nope, Only get attacks.  Claiming a switch makes a difference is the extraordinary claim so extraordinary evidence needs to come from that side, not the side of established science. 

As I have not purchased such snake oil, I have not been damaged, so I would have no standing in a suit against said fraudsters. At least that is what I learned in the basic  business law classes in college.

I haven’t seen any attacks on you here but if you believe you’ve been attacked, you should alert the moderators to the violators. Consider that exposing your agenda is not the equivalent of an "attack." You’re just being too sensitive.

... Claiming a switch makes a difference is the extraordinary claim so extraordinary evidence needs to come from that side ...

No one here owes you anything at all, notwithstanding your incessant demands for "evidence."

You allege fraud. Prove it in court (where you could achieve Class Action status and really rake it in!) or press your case with consumer protection agencies. But promoting your zany notions here using repetiton as "proof" isn’t working.

If all you want to see is WEB bloggers who don't know any more than you and get paid every time you read their dribble, or are selling the garbage ( all the above, I looked)  stay happily uninformed and Pay $600 for a $35 switch .  

Fiber works fine. Still carries  IP traffic. Still layer one. Just costs more.
