Update on good Ethernet switch


ASI mentioned before I didnot want to say the brand until I heard the Ethernet switch not only after 300 hours which was recommended having a OX over controlled clock , 

and with what myself always do the weak link on any audio component starts with the stock power cord , for minimal monies the Pangea using Cardas grade 1 copper 6-9s. Awg14 sig,Mk2 , and getting rid of the 50 cent bottle neck fuse I put in a 1.25amp 20mm L ,slow blow synergistic purple fuse  these increase fidelity at least 5-7% the switch itself At least 5%  if you know the name Jays audio for transports ,his other company LHY Audio  the SW8 Ethernet switch for   $595 nothing has all this in a nice machined aluminum case , even the uptone ether regen or Sonore deluxe  using a with fiber optic which btw lessens the realism imo both were used witha Sbooster2 LPS , ,theSW8 Ethernet switch  is a great buy ,and if you add a decent power cord  and upgrade the fuse you  will be rewarded further , 7 of us reviewed this and 6 out of 7 thought it was a noticeable improvement vs the others  there were2 other brands which were more ,that were not even that good and had switch mode pS

It does not get that warm ,the case being all aluminum acts in part like a heat sink.

Speaking of the innuos Ethernet switch around $3k with discounts it’s on another level Everything sounds judt much more real and refined my brother owns one and I put it in my system for a  day outstanding and inside build quality Exceptional 

I may buy one but first the GreaT T+A 200 dac thsts next in my shopping list.

To Sioux ad anyone else ,unless you have actually spent time comparing them 

then you speak out of No credible  knowledge ,and nothing to add that’s meaningful 

the common switch is crap $30 with nothing but noise ,where is the SW8 switch has low noise regulators,linesr power supplies, many filter capacitirs, and a OCXO 

oven clock , which for $595 and in a machined aluminum case is a true bargain imo.to make it at least another added 5-6% put a decent power cord on it like the Pangea awg14 sig mk2 , and Synergistic purple 1.25 amp Slow blow fuse , or Hifi tuning Supreme gold fuse  a easy upgrade , also put a 12v LPS on your modem-router combo vs the $5 crappy 💩 wall wart , little green computer 12v up to 8 amp 

truly cleans up your incoming stream ,

If any of you guys maybe considering this SW-8 Ethernet switch contact me and see the size picture-difference between a netgear switch 4 lbs vs 8 Oz .and any other info .

I just upgraded the power cord  the synergistic fuse I already have in my 12v LPS to my Motorola  8702 modem- router which is a nice Sonic upgrade vs the stock wall wart.but This new switch with power cord and much less $$ Hifi tuning supreme fuse which I already had a 1.25 amp slow blow  fuse  well worth the purchase and iowned several Audiophile switches 

The LHY-8 switch has a bunch more inside then the eastern electric switch 

we compared them and loooked inside for your monies nothing better under $1k 

The LHT sw8 Ethernet switch runs Cool !

i highly recommend at some point for sure a Decent power cord like the Pangea Sig MK-2 awg14 for around $200 a great value using Cardas best 6-9s Copper

and a Synergistic research Purple fuse these2 complement this for even better resolution and smoothness.

In the audio gatherings I attended it’s been proven , start with your router 

digital noise travels even house to house the garbage $5 wall wart added even more noise . Ibought a Linear Tube Audio LPS powersupply and it is a substantial upgrade, if you have a separate modem,router  get rid of it Way outdated and added noise a combo unit only. I bought the newer Motorola 8702 which has docsis 3.1 bigger faster processor, all hard wired, but even wifi picture sharper ,I assume because of the great LPS cleaning up the power supply.,this unit has excellent build quality,being a ex audio dealer and 

rebuild Loudspeaker Xovers I know Audio parts on all equipment very well.this unit comes with a excellent DC cable ,others charge $150 for for $50 off on Audiogon $700 it’s a true bargain ,don’t forget a Good Ethernet cable does count ,the most important at the streamer . Trust me ,if you stream and follow this you will hear a very nice improvement.

For the $$ you will not find a better Ethernet switch then this one

 

seee down on the page Audiogon doesnot like links

this has low noise regulators, OCXO over controlled master clock

Linear power supply  Nobody else has this and inside you can upgrade the fuse making it better still ,I forgot the exact size it’s been awhile I used a synergistic purple, and you need a decent power cord ,for the $$ the Pangea awg14 sig MK-2 

for $200 perfect , and BTW  on your router that garbage $5/ wall wart has to go - pure noise ,buy a LPS much much quieter if you stream Linear Tube Audio has them for $50 off on Audiogon  a must for a serious Audiophile , there are cheaper but quality built and best I have found this one and comes with a great DC  cable to router others charge $150 for and btw it takes a 5 amp 20 mm long Slow blow fuse .Hifi tuning supreme gold $90 or synergistic purple $195. I couldnot be happier.
