I'm currently using the Cisco 2960-8-TC Catalyst switch and with all the audiophile switches being released was wondering if one of these would be a worthwile upgrade over the Cisco.

 

Has anyone compared the Cisco Catalyst in their system with products like the SOtM sNH-10G or switches from AQVox, Paul Pang or TLS?  

 

Most comparisons of audiophile switches I have found seem to be with low cost consumer grade switches, see for instance https://audiobacon.net/2019/04/05/sotm-snh-10g-audiophile-ethernet-switch-review/3/ and https://www.stereophile.com/content/music-round-90-mergingplayer-pl8-page-2. 

I have a Cisco catalyst 3750 and HP 2626.  These are better than a consumer Netgear switch.  But i also have an Aqvox Switch 8 that sounds better than the Cisco and HP. but an sNH-10G ultra sounds best.

For those of use with network shares or multiple systems a switch is a necessity.  At gig speed I'm guessing the switch behaves like an antennae and picks up RFI.  But I don't have any instrumentation to test this.

Remember that the 3750 is a layer 3 switch that needs to be properly configured to operate optimally

my friend did this for me through his laptop.  i assumed he did this properly.  he is an HP network architect.
