Now this thread really is diverted!
Usually does
It may be about how to make the switch sound better - or the music sound better without it. I noted that the thread title expanded earlierā¦
I amended it to convey some sort of reality. Optical connection is certainly worthy of discussion - though Iād have thought its own thread would have been neater.
Hi Gerben,
I put this in place about three years ago, and tried various positions. I liked the theory. My memory is that I didnāt find it made any particular difference, but neither was it destructive - so I left it in place.
I do mean to play with this again, but work keeps intruding and when i do get time I would rather listen to music

How weirdā¦ā¦

What did you end up with?
Do you think we should ask Richard to chop off the optical tail of this thread and use it to start an Optical Thread?
Hi Jim,
Hope this makes sense:

2960 > HiFi (Dedicated HiFi ring) (Living Room)

I did chat to him about it, but he thought itād be too tricky. Hence my alteration to the title - otherwise people interested in an optical solution wouldnāt think to look here. I agree itād be neater.
True to form Stephen. Your yoying all the time is the reason I come back to threads like this as they are pretty dull otherwise.
Iām going to reorder the EE 8Switch. Iām just waiting for Paypal to put the money back into my account before i do. Keep things simple. I should of stuck with it but hey ho, yo yo!
Hard to know where to start or indeed where to end. Itās all inter-related though, so Iām minded to keep it as is.
Also, while moving one or two posts to another thread is fine, Iāve found recently that the forum software tends to choke when I try moving lots of posts.
Iām just happy itās a reasonable and good natured discussionā¦
Oh Stephen.
FR has started a new thread if anyone is interested. Seems reasonable given that the EE switch canāt use fibre.
Continuing discussions about adding a fiber media converter, like Sonore , to audiophile switches, which began in the English Electric thread. Listening impressions on adding a media converter vs straight ethernet cable from a switch. Does it improve sound quality?
Sorry, I feel as if I opened up this can of worms. I do think Richard is right though - they are all related. Just how much else is there to discuss on the EE switch as it is?
I have 2 EE8ās and didnāt even know it does optical, so Iām right confused.
But I do have an optical splitterā¦itās not the EE8 though>ā¦

Oh myā¦
It doesnāt Mike, the EE is copper only. The thread drifted and thereās now another (!) thread on Fibre which Iām sure will come to the same conclusionā¦
thereās now another (!) thread on Fibre
Ohā¦ I donāt have the energy for another cable thread.
Iām still trying to comprehend the first.
