The EtherREGEN thread for various network, cable, power experiences and experiments

Are you guys using the stock power cord with the ER's Stock PSU, it's curious but i can hardly hear an improvement (although there is but minimal) using an HDPLEX 200W at 9v with its variable output, BUT i can hear a more than a subtle improvement when using a more robust power cable with the stock PSU, even i can hear difference between the OYAIDE COOPER outlets vs the OYAIDE RHODIUM outlets in the wall

Interesting that you mention doing this.  I'd loaned the eR to my dealer to see what they thought of it.  In the process (and by the way the eR switch was a eye-opener for them) they in fact swapped the provided power cable with a new one from Shunyata called the Venom V14 Digital and found it a worthy upgrade.  I've put a couple into my systems for both the eR and my projector, and it's value in rejecting RFI/EMI has been noticeable.  Guess it's the noise filtration on the line that gets minimized.  Anyway, it's not too far out of line, as regards price, when balanced against the cost of other components in my system.

 

A few minutes go, i used the stock cable to compare with an Audio Art power cable that has been in my system for a while with good results, is the only one left that i have that is a little more forgiving than my Less Loss Signatures:

 

When i connected the ER in the OYAIDE Rodhium outlet, the sound is more "bright" even with the Audio Art, but when i connect the ER to the Oyaide Cooper Sound signature becomes more natural and balanced (its amazing how an Outlet can serve a s a tone control), Now i added the LessLoss Firewall 64x to the stock cable and PSU into the aide Outlet and the sound just came out incredible so far, much better than with the Audio Art...so it is "Oyaide Copper Outlet + Stock cable + LessLoss Firewall + Stock PSU to ER"...

 

I will keep doing these tweaks during these week, i will guys let you know, but indeed an interesting findings

Is anyone here using the ER with Euphony ?

 

I having mayor drop outs after a week of ER's burning in, and now suddenly not only with the ER but replacing it with the TP LINK which i have had since two years ago without problems until now...i checked all connections that I'm aware so far in order to discard elements that could be causing this issue: and when i disconnect my NUC endpoint and connect my Macmini direct to the DAC using ROON directly there is no issue so far.

 

In the other hand my internet speed seems to be fine but real performance when opening pages on the web or playing videos is not as good and sometimes very slow (weird, never happened)

 

I am powering my ER with the HDPLEX 200W at 9V and the NUC with a PH SR4 at 19V

 

Any idea ??

I’m pretty certain this crossed your mind - go back to what worked flawlessly before to verify that it still does and then proceed from there. 

It is what i did but the TP LINK switch that was in place is also doing the exact issue...
