You can now buy an audiophile Ethernet switch. It’s £450. LOL.

Well. There's a product that nobody needs.

As someone who's specified and installed £250k Home Cinemas and 40 zone distributed audio I can't imagine trying to justify this to a client.
It's not as if it's even something specific for distributed audio, like Dante switches, which are performing a distinct function to justify their prices.

I love how audiophiles somehow think that super magic buzzwords are somehow better than the literal error correction performed on Ethernet frames.Sundayjumper wrote: Thu Jun 17, 2021 6:25 pm You can now buy an audiophile Ethernet switch. It’s £450. LOL.

Or that high Res audio is somehow more delicate than, say, a banks finance data, which goes through regular vlans and WANs and VPNs using industry standard switching without the world collapsing.
A fool and his money, etc.

Exactly. If you're streaming something then that content has been through upteen processes on its way to you, it's not the last few metres that's fckuing it up. I'd actually love to see what's inside that compared to a £20 Netgear jobbie.Beany wrote: Thu Jun 17, 2021 10:25 pm ...which goes through regular vlans and WANs and VPNs using industry standard switching without the world collapsing.

I can understand speaker cables making a difference, but Russ Andrews sells a 13 amp fuse for £25 that has rave reviews on his site. Fcuk right off.

I'd put good money on it literally being a rechassis'd TPlink unit.

Couldn't possibly be. It is uses "advanced technologies". We all know what that does for audio quality.Beany wrote: Thu Jun 17, 2021 10:47 pm I'd put good money on it literally being a rechassis'd TPlink unit.

I just clicked on that link and……… total silence.
Frankly I’m quite impressed.

The only time I believe you’ll ever see a benefit to changing any 230v supply side components is either when there’s something fundamentally wrong with the wiring in the house, or you’re running seriously beefy amplification and speakers which can sound better when connected to a power conditioner, but it’s marginal and I only really specify them for the hardware protection that they offer.
If someone is making a living from £65 plug fuses then well done!

I have fitted a handful of these to my mains cables, and I’m loving the added richness they have created.

I'm surprised there isn't someone out there selling the benefits of the Tesla Powerwall or an equivalent. 'Isolate your supply from the dirty mains'. In fact, it sounds quite persuasive; I'm almost inclined to give it a goJimexpl wrote: Fri Jun 18, 2021 9:55 amI love the fact that one of the reviewers has used one on a TV, and another on their Bose ‘hi-fi’dinny_g wrote: Fri Jun 18, 2021 8:49 amerm... try £65...Sundayjumper wrote: Thu Jun 17, 2021 10:38 pm Russ Andrews sells a 13 amp fuse for £25 that has rave reviews on his site.

I’m going to give you a 13A fuse foe Christmas. I just need to get a small enough sharpie to write “ultra” on it.

You need one my my new HYPERPLUGZ. I haven’t even started marketing these yet, but I can assure you that £250 is a bargain, and that they are fully compatible (and of course specifically tuned to work in perfect harmony) with both SuperFuse and UltraFuse.nuttinnew wrote: Mon Jun 21, 2021 9:44 am I don't think I've a plug that would do such a fuse justice
