Ethernet Switch- what's the point?

@fredrik222 I have seen a range of $1349.00 (recommendation on LHY SW10) and $89.00 on an isolator switch. You should change your moniker to Chicken Little. Again why should you care if I spend $20K on a switch? It is our money not yours. 

You made a bunch of claims and linked to a guy building his own RF detection device and claimed this guy was a genius and knows everything about RF. I pointed out to you that EMI/RF devices cost $20 on Amazon, and this guy didn’t know anything more than average Joe.

I think you’re confusing me with someone else as I don’t recall stating that. What I did talk about was how TV signals show that it’s not such a clean and sure thing and you shot me down by saying it was a different medium so it didn’t apply.

I also linked to someone who spoke of the issue that nothing really performs at the levels intended at a consistent rate and that IT companies intentionally throttle down to compensate for traffic resulting in less than perfect transmission, which you also dismissed.

All the best,

Question is very simple. If you are using a very unefficient protocol like https, which relies on heavy buffering, all is reduced to the quality of client (the webplayer most likely). So, which switch/router/cable to use is no sense question.

If you are changing router/switch/cable and you hear big differences, logic says you are using a UDP like protocol, or the https client is extremely poor.

My 2 eurocents.

ladies and gents, why are we entertaining this unpleasant and useless banter?  

@tonix HTTPS is used for most, if not all, streaming services over the internet. That is all that matters. I showed that Qobuz uses https, proving your “logic” invalid.

switches and cables don’t make a difference (after a certain point).
