Torque management?  As in how they tighten the screws?

What is high impedance noise?

 

Not "noise."  High-impedance leakage.  Here is one very specific post from last year:

https://www.computeraudiophile.com/forums/topic/37034-smps-and-grounding/?do=findComment&comment=735311

 

And somewhere further on (can't find it at the moment), John explained how he also able to measure leakage currents (and radiation of same) on Ethernet connections, and how, with certain select cheap switches, earth-grounding the zero-volt DC input of those particular switches shunts leakage from ALL the Ethernet devices connected to it.  

 

But much more serious isolation work can be done in a switch--for much less money.

When did John Swenson comment on this $5,000 switch ??

 

He did not and will not.  We have had our own, from the ground-up, project in development for a number of months.
