Anybody want a laugh?

Wow, that brought back some memories for me. I was raised Roman Catholic and both my dad and older brother were altar boys. My mom thought I'd make a good priest as well. Thank _____that didn't work out.

All the best,

What is noise on Ethernet? If you have noise, what does it sound like on Ethernet?
Since I installed corporate networks starting back in the late 80’s, I ran a few ip packet sniffers and used a few fluke meters, and you can determine if an ip packet has issues.
Before I spend this kind of money on a switch which has the easiest job to do in a lan/wan, I would start at making sure each Ethernet cable is certified by a fluke meter. If you have emi issues, use a good quality shielded Ethernet cable, preferably a cat7. Sniff the ip packets before hitting the switch and the look at the packets after the switch to see if you have any errors or do the packets look different. With today’s fast home networks, at 1G or higher, your cables could be your weakest link.

@glupson It's up to whom is interested.  I prefer to give more infos than less.
I just hope it can help audiophiles make good choices for themselves and better spend their money for the ultimate goal: Enjoy music and good sound!

guyboisevert,

I thought it was for a small group who will understand. It was just a "wow" to me how many letters and numbers were there. For those initiated, it was probably as clear as a day.
