Aardvark Ethernet noise isolator

@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.

Nice to hear about your results on your system.  I just purchased 2 used Pink Faun Ethernet Isolators to try out in multiple locations: in front of my optical, after my optical and without my optical. Anyone else have experience using Pink Faun Isolators?

Don’t have them in my system but I’m told that in addition to the usual benefits of passing the signal through mini-transformers, the Pink Faun LAN isolator device works to shielding against high-frequency (HF) noise originating from the LAN network and components were chosen based on what they sound like rather than specs alone.
