    Interesting sneak peak on some results so far on the entry level mass-market switches:

    I tried the three major brands (Two different Cisco switches refused to connect to my router signal so they will not be in this test).

    Of the three brands I also tried some that were PoE and some without. Best results was a mixture of them (details to follow in vids).

    There is also a sound difference between 5 port and 8 port units of the same model/brand.

    There is also a sound difference on WHERE you plug in the ethernet cables on the switches.

    Also one of the brands with the factory PS KICKED THE BUTT of the other two that had an upgraded LPS on them. It was really surprising.

    The reason I ventured into the mid-range was for exactly what Puma Cat mentioned - I wanted to see if there is any better noise rejection in the stock form with the higher priced units in larger form factor.

    Both the SOtM filter itself and the SOtM cable (which has a filter on it) is designed to suppress noise. I already know the results and will share them soon as to whether they do or don't and what the sound difference it.
    What SOtM filter and cable are you referring to specifically, Michael? Thanks.

    This is the cable:

    dCBL-CAT7u – SOtM – English

    This is the filter (it is directional):

    iSO-CAT7 – SOtM – English

    OK guys - just got an idea for an additional test which required I add a few more to the burn-in chain.

    Video 1 of the experiment series will be posted tomorrow!
