Will Ethernet powerline adapter pollute the AC main for audio playback quality?

[jventer]

I have been using this technology since 2011 without problems.

POE has many documented issues and negative side effects which may or may not present in a system.

As previous posters have mentioned if there is an issue it can be fixed.

Cheap solution - go for it.

Sorry, I have added to the problem

POE is Power over Ethernet

Ethernet over Power is type of the opposite.

I have used both , and currently am using Ethernet over Power. I dont have any problems. I do need to add that apart from my poweramps all my equipment is connected to "Audiophile" powerboards, conditioners, etc.

As said before there are documented issues with the technologies where ethernet and power is on the same cable. As far as I understand MOCA is a lot better in this regard and I was seriously considering it as I have coax everywhere.

My latest Powerline adaptors cost me AU$40 and works very well. So I am sticking to that.

Sonore actually recommend the Powerline solution. You dont need the latest 2G stuff for Audio 500Mbps is fine (I use 200 and 500Mbps adaptors). Lots of them for cheap on the internet. If it does not work it is a cheap experiment.

 

If there is noise coming through - try to use a powerboard which filters EMI etc - look at Furman for example.  

 

Noise could also be the result of SMPS power supplies.

 

Have you checked the noise on your amp? With and without Powerline stuff?
