EtherREGEN or LHY SW-6? Anyone compare the 2? Thoughts/opinions?


Hi, All,

So just when I was ready to pull the trigger on the EthgerREGEN, at the last minute I came across the LHY SW-6. Thanks to all who took the time to respond to my previous post about adding an Ethernet switch/power supply.

 

The only 2 pcs that will be connected to the switch is my streamer (Eversolo DMP-A6 Master) and a Brennan B2 CD Ripper. I also just added 2 Ethernet cables from Pine Tree Audio (solid stuff very reasonable prices) 

 

My final decision has come down to these 2. Both are same cost-wise and I have read great things about both. Anyone compare the 2 or have any opinion as to which direction to go? My only concern is that the EtherREGEN runs very hot. I've always felt that something that runs hot may have a shorter shelf life?

 

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and time...

Happy Etherregen owner along with an Afterdark clock, cable, LPS.  Bought the package used and it definitely improved the SQ.  I have it elevated with 2 Nobsound spring base footers and the heatsinks (see the link) to cool it down.  Although mine doesn’t seem that hot.  These heatsinks fit perfectly on top and look great.
