"Audiophile" ethernet switches
Hi everyone,
Would love to read your experience with these types of ethernet switches. I've been reading a lot of review about several equipments, etherregen, Silent Angel, English Electric, Paul Pang, etc. There's also a nice test with several devices and different power supplies here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fok1d_VkfCk&t=4855s My system is revealling enough to show any slight difference. Would love to hear your thoughs. Greeting from Portugal Andre

Hi Andre, you might get all sorts of feedback on this one.
I bought the Silent Angel Bonn N8 but still haven't figured out what difference it makes (I hope my systems are revealing enough!). But I know many people who are very happy with this switch and also with other makes/models. As always try to audition in you own system before buying, if you can (although this one is not a huge expense). Also looking forward to reading other AudioAficionados feedback.

Cheers Andre
I have both the English Electric and an EtherRegen. The English is in my network cabinet and distributes to all music systems in the house (Linn streamers in main and secondary system, Sonore Rendu streamers for headphones). The EtherRegen is downstream from the English, at the end of the Ethernet cable to my Linn Klimax. I added the EtherRegen first, Ethernet from router to EtherRegen, then short Ethernet to Linn Klimax. I heard a slight difference in soundstage depth, clarity and imaging. I then replaced my old network switch with the English. I heard a similar slight improvement in my headphone setups, but no change in my main system. My conclusion is that a good switch helps, but the EtherRegen by itself was good enough in the main system and adding the English upstream from that didn’t make any difference there. Overall both were worthwhile investments.

"Audiophile" ethernet switches
Hi Toni! Thank you for your input. Highly appreciated. I’m definitely thinking about going for the EtherRegen but as other options are appearing on the market you never know. In Portugal there is no dealer.
In fact it seems that no one in the European Union that sells the EtherRegen. Thanks again!

I have the ER and I am also using the EdisCreation Silent OXCO switch, which is downstream to the ER. The EC took my system to the next level.

I ordered the EtherRegen yesterday. Looking forward to plug it in my system. Spoke with Alex on the phone as I had a question regarding the shipping. Spent 30 minutes speaking… really nice, friendly talk.
