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

these audiophile switches are not too pricey... ether regens for instance trade used frequently at $500-600, buy one try it, if it doesn’t enhance your sound, post it for sale, it’ll be gone in a few days

otherwise, one can likely find retail sellers of silent angels, english electric or sotm, aqvox, etc who will do trial periods, worst you can lose is shipping, maybe a small restocking fee

too much brain damage and chatter on these threads - there will always be divergent opinions on a forum, anonymous keyboard jockeys spouting their knowledge from on high, no check on their credibility... it is just the nature of the beast -- so you want to know if something works?  go get it, buy smart and learn for yourself, sell it off if it doesn’t perform to expectation

it is interesting, when ’one trick pony’ trolls like this come on forums and denounce the value of certain hifi gear based on their 'experience' elsewhere, argue endlessly and defensively, i believe the net result is actually more interest is developed in the thing they are putting down by those whom are evaluating the product...

what happens, as we see here is more actual hifi enthusiasts feel compelled to openly state that they have tried xx and have gained positive value from it

funny how folks don’t think through the consequences of their statements and chosen foodfights... or maybe they live in their own world, only feel the need to spout what they (believe they) know and it is pretty much as myopic as that...
