Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ

@nonoise who is the dishonest broker now? 

he literally says the ground is on the backplane, and you can see that what he is running his hand over is between the SFPs and the CPU, so he is says the ground is connected to the CPU. That is what he is saying. He likely doesn’t understand what he is saying however.

Give me one article about electrical jitter? Electricity is in the analogue domain where jitter doesn’t exists. Are you perhaps confusing electrical and electronic?

it was definitely a rant. And double regulated doesn’t mean that you say it does,. It means it can handle two different ranges, for instance 200 - 240 and 100 - 120V. And he says it makes the component more stable, which it doesn’t.
 

a switch literally handles thousands of parallel threads per second, it is the only job of a switch.
 

And @nonoise, what about his ludicrous rant about isolation gadget? Pure fiction.

So, now you have proven yourself again to be a dishonest broker, for what?

No need to spend $3K for the one sold at GTT Audio but you'll have to source your own linear power supply and it won't have any of the mods in it but you'll be way ahead of the game for pennies on the dollar.

keep in mind that all communication devices are regulated by the FCC, and while they are not likely to care if you modify a switch as the worst case scenario is that you burn down your own house, it is very different with radios. It is illegal to sell and operate radios that have not been approved by the FCC, and that includes modifying existing radios. Unless of course his “modifications” to the Aruba access point doesn’t do anything , which is the most likely scenario, since any changes would need to include software update, and he doesn’t have source code access to the Aruba OS. 

Let us begin your rehabilitation Freddy. After you get rehabilitated, go back to your Sith lord Majidimehr on the ASR mothership and serve as the rehabilitated, repurposed, audiogon Trojan warrior.

But, watch this (all pinned timestamps, live blind tests, etc) and let your mind start polka dancing first. This is step 1 of your rehabilitation.

Interesting video.  He shows data of how performance degrades under load.  I had wondered that in the back of my mind since my Audio network switch has my computer, back channel router and Apple TV plugged into it.  The EE8 switch says to use one particular port for audio because it is isolated from the rest.  I’m thinking about moving the SW-8 from the Apple TV and putting it next to the EE8.  Plug everything into the SW-8 and then have one cable from the SW-8 go to the EE8 and on to my music server.  I’ll see if that makes a difference.  (I will also try just unplugging everything but the Audio from the EE8.)

I saw an improvement in the TV picture streaming when I put the SW-8 next to the Apple TV.  My assumption was that the long, 100’ ethernet cable run picks up some noise.  But maybe it is the multiple connections into the EE8 that are adding noise.

I moved the SW-8 next to the EE8.  So the SW-8 is connected to the Apple TV at the front end of the long ethernet cable vs. the back end.  I also left the computer unconnected- it doesn’t need an ethernet cable anyway.  The TV picture streaming looks the same as when the SW-8 was at the back end of the long Ethernet cable and next to the Apple TV.

The EE8 now has one short connection coming from the SW-8 and one connection to my music server.  It will be a couple of days before I listen to my stereo system.  I shut the stereo down last night so I can get some yard work done the next couple of days.
