@antigrunge2 he is 100% correct in his review of these products, because you can measure them, and actual network switch performance metrics are not listed on these websites. They are, 100% snake oil.    @wsrrsw i’m in it security, but I have 20+...

@duckworp The Cisco 2960 is a low end enterprise grade switch. Very very few home users will ever be able to push it to where it will be remotely a concern for streaming.

@ghdprentice depends on how bad the switch is. D Link are among the worst consumer equipment out there, so there is a real possibility that the streamer chache and tcp/ip can’t cover for it. What is clear is that you can’t plug use a bad switch, ...

My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000?
I would second Hegel 390, sounds fantastic, and I have heard great thing about Krell 300i.  
most beautiful (looking) speakers

Attractive Bookshelf - Under $3k

Need Help Matching to This System To Speakers

Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers

Warning for Revel lovers
Never enjoyed Revel, but sorry to hear about your experience. I think that most manufacturers can do with better communications. I will say the brand that I find extremely good at communicating is Classe. Regular updates on orders, and great feedb...
