The isolation thread

[Tokyokyoto]

Maybe instead of the SU-2 consider......audio-gd 20HE (which has 50 ohm clock in and out) so you can get rid of the clock splitter.

Not sure if this has been asked anywhere but can anyone tell me if there is a way to check if the moat has been broken with a multimeter?

....what makes you suspect a broken moat ?

 

The eR is working well ?

Have you dismantle the unit ?

 

I haven’t got it yet.  Friday.  Just curious to know if there is a way to confirm.

My understanding is that if devices in front of and behind the 'moat' share a building's common ground earth rod via their AC receptacles, there is always some form of breaking the moat and creating an electrical path for noise. In other words: you can only isolate completely when the parts behind the moat have an own (or no) reference to ground (second earth rod, floating etc.).

 

So, I myself.have both up and downstream components connected to a Tripoint Troy which has its own dedicated isolated ground but still we all have different configurations.  If one could simply take a multimeter to verify it would alleviate any confusion.

You mean the “deplorable”?

With all that’s come to light I wonder.....is it possible to have the etheregen and a SOtM network switch hooked up to the same clock without breaking the moat?  

[Tokyokyoto]

I’ve had the SOtM for a couple of years.  My system does Home Theater too.  I plan on going from router to SOtM to my various (three) front end video components and also from the SOtM to the etheregen to computer to DAC.  I  wanted the option to hook the SOtM and etheregen to the same 50 ohm clock.

I have dedicated psu’s to all my devices.  The issue (I think) would be with using the one clock on devices that are on each side of the eRegen.  Hopefully someone from UpTone will let us all know.

[Tokyokyoto]

I am not sure but I think for that configuration to work the signal out of the switch would need to go into side B of Eregen and out of A which would overide the effect of the clocking.  Hopefully someone from UpTone will chime in.

I think the ground post and the coax have common ground.

The grounding thumb screw is on the A side, the shield of the coax connector is on the B side

The photos that I’ve seen all show the power input, thumb screw and coax on the same side B.

I just got my eRegen unpacked and it’s ready to go.  I’ll need to be a contortionist to get my cables nice and tidy so I will start in the morning.  Thanks so much r1200 for being so generous with your time and willingness to seek answers.
