pl_svn Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I have a spare LPS-1.2 but before trying using it to power my EtherRegen... - Lumin U1 Mini connected to B port - Lumin is powered by a Vinnie Rossi ultracaps LPS (complete isolation from mains... I believe!) - Lumin is connected via USB to a Metrum Adagio DAC but there's an ISORegen (powered by an LPS-1.2) in between question: will I need to ground the etherRegen? 😐 Qnap HS-264 NAS (powered by an HD-Plex 100w LPS) > Cirrus7 Nimbini v2.5 Media Edition i7-8559U/32/512 running Roon ROCK (powered by a Keces P8 LPS) > Lumin U2 > Metrum Acoustics Adagio NOS digital preamplifier > First Watt SIT 3 power amplifier (or Don Garber Fi "Y" 6922 tube preamplifier + Don Garber Fi "X" 2A3 SET power amplifier, both powered from an Alpha-Core BP-30 Isolated Symmetrical Power Transformer) > Klipsch Cornwall III headphones system: Cirrus 7 > Lumin U2 > Metrum Acoustics Adagio > Pathos Aurium amplifier (powered by an UpTone Audio JS-2 LPS) > Focal Clear headphones Link to comment

pl_svn Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Alex... this morning I found my etherRegen disconnected from the network during the night "Power LED" was on but all ports LEDs were off 😶 (both on A and B side) no idea if the fiber SFP connection to main switch was up as... the ER has no LED there (but in switch's control panel it was blinking meaning, I guess, there was an issue) ER is powered, since about a week, by an LPS-1.2 (LPS' power LED was green) Power-cycling the LPS solved the glitch and everything is now back up and running fine According to my NAS' logs (connected to ER's "A side") connection was lost right after completing a scheduled backup (so some "heav-ish" network traffic was involved) will keep an eye on it Qnap HS-264 NAS (powered by an HD-Plex 100w LPS) > Cirrus7 Nimbini v2.5 Media Edition i7-8559U/32/512 running Roon ROCK (powered by a Keces P8 LPS) > Lumin U2 > Metrum Acoustics Adagio NOS digital preamplifier > First Watt SIT 3 power amplifier (or Don Garber Fi "Y" 6922 tube preamplifier + Don Garber Fi "X" 2A3 SET power amplifier, both powered from an Alpha-Core BP-30 Isolated Symmetrical Power Transformer) > Klipsch Cornwall III headphones system: Cirrus 7 > Lumin U2 > Metrum Acoustics Adagio > Pathos Aurium amplifier (powered by an UpTone Audio JS-2 LPS) > Focal Clear headphones Link to comment
