Basic switch....should I upgrade?
One of the things Hans at Audiophool did on the Cisco 2960 was remove the internal power supplies and added a 5.5/2.1 dc connector for a linear power supply.  
Basic switch....should I upgrade?
@ghdprentice  The weird situation I find myself in means  my system is down. So have been adding to/changing my system. Which is why I haven't told you how these changes effects. Will get to try it in a couple of months.

Now you have stated your opinion (many times), there is no need for you to post any more. Thank you for your views.  
Basic switch....should I upgrade?
@vinylvalet  The first switch was a Cisco 2960. Had mods done by audiophool.nl Last month bought a Cisco SG110D switch. I needed one with a small footprint. Have sent it to Fidelity Audio in The UK. They have put one of their C4Mk2 clocks in it,... 
What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly?
@antigrunge2  I hadn't heard of Auditorium23 until you listed some of your kit. Had been wanting Audience AU24sx speaker cables. When researching the Audience 23 cables they had good reviews, and I will end up buying them instead.

@sns  People should concentrate more on feeds directly out of modems. This is most common weak link I see... I have tried to address the situation. I have my modem attached to a modded Cisco 2960 switch. Then (Cat5?) ethernet cable running 10...

And all your posts I see are derogatory in nature (you might have to look that one up). That's the pot calling the kettle...

@1971gto455ho  What the hell did I do? At the very least when you're swiping back with low blows, get the right person. Duh. And even with no education (according to you) I can spell properly.  ...as there all the newest and best ever...  
ATC SCM 40 question
I've built my system based on limited space. A cupboard 600x550x420mm with four shelves, including Blu-Ray player. System has to be hidden from sight, with no 'ugly' cables. I use the Mad Scientist Black Magic USB cable. Very good.  
ATC SCM 40 question
@moomalade74  I love my ATCs. End game speakers for me. I ran mine in for 150 hours when I got them. Had them on loop when I went to work, dodging people at home. I used to have QED Silver Anniversary speakers cables. Very bright. Have you cons... 
Basic switch....should I upgrade?
I’ve read lots. Reviews. Audio forums. Watched a few Youtube videos as well. The people I want to listen to say yes.   I tend to ignore the likes of Cakehole. He says no. Old school. He tells us to stand in the corner.

@firstonetallguy  I've recently upgraded Dac, added a streamer, modded network switches. I'm going to buy some Triode Wire Labs 'Freedom' ethernet cables.    
ATC SCM 40 question
@moomalade74  I know the feeling. Bought the SCM19v2, as that was all that was allowed. You're right, they do like a bit of power to really let loose. Were the SCM40s new? How long have you broken them in for?  
The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts.
@nutty  I have a friend who has a masterful system. He offered advice regarding DC fuses for linear power supplies. His findings, from a range of SR fuses red/blue/orange/purple is that the best fuses he found for LPS were HiFi Tuning Supreme. I... 
The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts.
Sorry @nutty  I haven't had my system up for 10 months, and have made many changes in that time. When I get it up and running next month, the differences will not only be in the fuses... (Dac, streamer, ethernet, network switches, power treatme...
