thyname Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Guys, if budget allows, try Synergistic Research Atmosphere X Reference Ethernet cables. I promise you, it will be your last Ethernet Cable you will ever need. That is of course, if you cannot afford the Galileo SX 😁 (I cannot) Link to comment

That's assuming you can get your hands on both for trial. I'm betting the less expensive one from Shunyata will surprise. Thanks for the recommendation. I am always open to trying different stuff Link to comment

It all depends on which forum you are posting 😂😉. I personally wouldn’t know. My wife could not care less about my toys. Of course, as long as I pay our bills Link to comment
thyname Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 You guys keep talking about a Cisco 2960 router, with SFP cages, but they are so many models with that number, and a bunch of letters, I have a hard time locating one. Link to comment

One cannot be called Snake Oil lover without Synergistic Research in their system. Guilty as charged 😂🤷🏻 Can you elaborate more in what you did, and the outcome, in there? I really need more snake oil LOL! Link to comment

But I am guessing you already know this. Thanks for your explanation. Time for me to do further research on these tweaks. If I may, I can share my experience with Synergistic Research. The following worked great for me: Power Cords (Atmosphere X Excite then Euphoria) Atmosphere X Reference USB cable and Ethernet cable PowerCell 12 SE power conditioner ‘’Euphoria XLR ICs, and speaker cables The following made zero difference: HFTs Active Ground Block SE Again, in my system, my house.

And I gave it a chance. I owned it for about three months. It did nothing. Maybe because I have a dedicated power line? And their cables mostly come with a ground plug that can simply be plugged to wall, making the ground block redundant? I don’t know... I simply report my experience Link to comment

Would be interested in what you found if you experimented with alternatives ‘Yes it is. From EtherRegen to my streamer / server (Innuos ZENith MK3). As for alternatives, I don’t know with regards to EtherRegen. I had it way before the EtherRegen arrived. I have not bothered with alternatives since then. This is one of the subjects I am no longer curious in experimenting with PYP 1 Link to comment

Especially those that comply with a standard 😀 The audiophile Ethernet cables will all (AFAIK) not comply with the Ethernet standard when it comes to shielding. You will find a lot of useful information on Belden webpage. Also Blue Jeans webpage. Belden technick to glue pairs (bounded) is special, and well explained as an example. Unfortunately their catsnake 1303E doesn’t use that technology. But I really don’t think it matters in a cable less than a meter. Cables suggested here is OK to use. Also those with metal plugs for better RFI/EMI as well as with shielding. You have to read this as a start in order to understand the theory behind JSSG360. (JSSG = John Swenson Shielding Guidelines). If you purchase a cable with metal plugs, and a ohmmeter shows the plugs are connected, you have the recipe to creat possible unwanted issues. Further reading can be found searching AS. Ghent sells two Ethernet RJ45 cables, both listed as JSSG360. This means they would be OK for EtherRegen, upstream and downstream? Link to comment
