Aardvark Ethernet noise isolator

Today, I will remove it and comment on the difference.

So, after much testing, for me, in my system, with the Ether Regen, I did not hear any benefit with using the Aardvark. As a matter of fact, I thought the bass was diminished. My hat’s off to the seller who allowed me to try it and then grant a refund (-) shipping costs. This seems to be the only way to tell if these types of filters will work well within a system.

Perhaps without the Ether Regen this device would have performed differently.

I sent it back.

@ozzy

the Etherregen‘s active moat actually performs the same function as the Aardvark. In my system using an additional Pink Faun Isolator between reclocked and LPS‘d Etherregen and streamer actually further cleans up the stream. I guess it is a function of the incoming signal and EMI/RFI as well as ground level incursions near the system. So totally concur: you can‘t know unless you try.

Did you end up testing the Ardvark before and after the EtherRegen?

No, sorry.

The EtherRegen is essential to my set up because it outputs the fiber to my Lumin X1. There was no way to try the Aardvark after the EtherRegen. If it couldn’t improve at the front end, then I had no need for it.

But others should try it with different equipment it may just impress.
