rah50 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I wasn't aware of MoCA (Ethernet over coax) when I moved to a new place last year so I went wireless with a Netgear mesh system. It works fine but I wonder if I might be better sonically off with MoCA ? Anyone have any experience here?

Canes Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I wondered the same thing, so I dod a MoCa hookup and it is considerably better than wifi. The sound has more weight and immediacy. It also proved better than running a long Cat7 cable 50 or so feet directly from the router. Link to comment

There, I disagree. I ran 65' of Cat6e and it was is better in every way. Anyone want my MoCA stuff? botrytis 1 Kal Rubinson Senior Contributing Editor, Stereophile Link to comment
botrytis Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 You can only get so much multiplexing over MoCA. It is fine in a pinch.

Canes Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Multiplexing hasn't been a concern as it only runs to audio. Link to comment
rah50 Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 Thanks all! MoCA may be moot as I've finally found a Cat5 telephone cable that home runs close enough to where I need it. Connectors are on their way from Amazon, so I should have it up this weekend if the cable is good. Responses greatly appreciated.
