Thmoas Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Hi, Can I power the etherregen with a sotm sps500? (Sorry for the duplicate, I’m sure this has already been covered) Link to comment
Thmoas Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I know every system is different but do we have a consensus on this: is it recommended to invest in a fancy cable to connect the ER to the streamer? I’m going to grab a few cheap cat5/cat6 cables on amazon to see what unshielded (untied) cables can do. For now I’m using cat7 cables with metal telegartner connectors both between router and ER and between ER and streamer. The router is the only device connected to the A side, so leakage should not be (too much of) an issue for me as stated in the user guide. I tried a cheap Belkin cable with plastic connectors on the A side and it did some things better than the cat7 (viablue + telegartner) in terms of tones and liveliness. Still I ended keeping the cat7 on both sides: it is a little bit more restrained but also more controled with added clarity. I’m considering the inakustik referenz (about $180) for the B side but I’m going to experiment with cheap cables first. Link to comment
Thmoas Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Hi Magnus, thanks I’m going to check the cables you mention. I did hear differences between the various Ethernet cables I tried even if I never spent more than 60 euros for each. But I still have to assess the impact of ER on cables (or the opposite).

Thmoas Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I’m sticking with the stock power supply and reselling my sotm sps500. The sotm gives me more clarity but less life and sense of rythm. Did anyone try to replace the power cable on the uptone Power brick? Does a good cable makes a difference there? thomas Link to comment
