My EE switch arrived this morning. A neat, well finished little box that doesn’t look out of place on the rack. The activity lights are nice and discreet too - i don’t really want a box twinkling away and visible out of the corner of my eye when i’m listening to some tunes. The power supply is a little wall wart, reminiscent of the type supplied with the Chord Qutest DAC. Apart from plumbing it in, i’ve not really had a proper chance to have a listen but initial impressions are that it doesn’t make things worse - so that’s a good start. I’ll report back in due course.
See, none of us trusted you with that pressure washer😉
James_n,…It looks nice in your rack .
/Peder🙂
I agree, it does look nice in your rack.
I wonder why more people have bought the English electric vs the Etheregen.
The look? Number of ports? Because it’s a uk product?
It’s an impression. The English electric is available since very recent time and already 9 new owners.
Count me in
I wrote 9, because Stephen T will soon buy one too.
Can you tell me the reason of your choice vs the Etheregen? Just curious
Not as yet. I liked the post, but I haven’t tried the product.
I think that maybe it’s because of it’s wider availability. If i decide i don’t like the product after a trial period then i think the English Electric unit will be a lot easier for a return. Plus i quite like the look if it. I think it has a rather smart and understated appearance.
Well, to me, it looks better and it’s about £200 cheaper … so I’m trying it …
Nice write up Pat. Thanks for the detailed evaluation.
Now interested to hear about the outcome of EE run-in and alternative power supplies.
I didn’t heard the English electric and don’t think I will now, as I am very satisfied with the ER.
I heard personally the same as Suzy description of the EE.
The ER, vs Cisco 8tcl, 8 ttl, and Cascade Cisco with vodka, sounds more real, airy, richer on tones and textures, and a bit quicker. More real. ( only with stock smps).
Perhaps the EE is still better, I don’t know. But I could clearly hear the differences.
I was in the demo at the Bristol show when they swapped it in for a Netgear X05 (in the blue box). Differences were very apparent, which as we all know, is impossible because it’s all 1s and 0s, and bitz iz bitz innit?
Nice and meaningful comparison, identifying the streamer (critically important), and with some blind testing, too. Of course the reason why - what exactly it is doing - is unknown, but the info you’ve given lends itself to consideration by others, and the reason at this stage can only be speculative.
Given your extensive post I hesitate to suggest more, though it is possible that whatever else is connected to the network could be of significance and therefore a description of the remainder of the network might be of use at some point.
Suzy, it’s a typo / memory error. I wanted to say as PatM. Sorry.
But finally it created an interesting post from you.
I was on another thread in the same time…
