EtherRegen vs EE?

This conversation will be without an end…Liverpool or Manchester city? :grinning: :grinning:

That’s easy, Wasps! :wink:

Love that band! And that song a lot too! :smiley:

98% of the music I listen to is classical.
But from time to time I listen to the bands I enjoyed when I was a youngster.

Those 3 albums are on my top list :

I’ve gone over to Wifi on my Muso-2 and am quite satisfied with the SQ. Now if I can only keep a stable connection. @Stevesky and the Naim team are working on some issues with 5 Ghz bands that are causing problems especially here in the US. I’ve resorted to a script to ping the Muso every half hour thinking that maybe it will keep the connection up. We’ll see. It’s stayed connected for 2 days now. Enough for the thread diversion.

Btw… I saw your post previously… have you disabled fair air time on your wifi ? Assuming you have that setting…

I’m not familiar with fair air time. What I did do per @Stevesky was set my 5 Ghz to channel 36 instead of letting it auto switch channels and I also disabled the feature on my router that allowed it auto switch between 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz.

Ok… and did it help?

Excellent. We twitter on about boring switches but it’s the music that binds us. I too listen mainly to classical and jazz but like you I love the older stuff still. I once had a nice letter from Robert Smith but sadly lost it. He lives only a few miles from me.

Well, I’m connected now for almost 3 days. That’s a new record! The setting of channel 36 and turning off the auto 2.4 to 5 GHz band switching did help but even with that I could only stay connected for 2 days max. I now added the ping script and I’m up to 2.5 days. Ask me again in a week. :blush:

It’s a trend Simon, I’m on board too - wifi sounds great to me :wink: Google mesh throughout the house.

So no EE or ER?

@NigelB i am getting lost in all this. I have a baked bean can and a very long piece of string…perhaps we can talk if you have a can at your end.
:wink:

@Gazza, I hear some cans and certain types of string work better than others. Be careful, most strings are directional and they certainly must to have a minimum twist rate.

I rode from Solihull to Cornwall in a convoy of 4 motorbikes in 1983 to see the Cure at the Elephant Fayre festival.

An amazing experience for a 19 year old.

It must have been a great moment!

In 1983 I was 9, too young to attend to such events. I saw The Cure in Lausanne in 1990, for the Desintegration album. I spent the whole concert at the front row. What a nice memory!

Follow up to my previous post on the EtherRegen. It doesn’t play well with my home network. It’s going back. Alex, the Uptone Audio owner, called and we had a long and productive conversation (good support, won’t attempt to go into the technical details of what we discussed and trouble-shot here). Bottom line: it brings sonic benefits, no doubt. But it wouldn’t stay connected to my network for more than a few days. I would recommend it if it works in your set-up for sure.

That is curious… a switch doesn’t need to ‘connect’ to a network in the same way a regular host does, certainly an unmanaged device, a switch becomes part of the network.
The only thing it has to do is learn or snoop from ARP traffic from connected devices, which in the grand scheme of things is fairly rudimentary.
Are you able to share any more details despite what you said in your post? And what is meant by ‘connect’?

That is odd, a switch is designed to be hooked up to a network.

I know it’s very odd, let’s see if we can get any more info. I can understand not linking correctly or duplex mis matches, but dropping out seems strange. Even if the switch MAC address forwarding table got cleared too quickly then the connected hosts would use ARP and all should be ok. Even then we are talking hours, not days.
