This needs to be put into context. It’s the way that Neet presents itself in my system. Whilst BJC/Catsnake may not have all the bells and whistles of the Neotech they achieve a very good level of musical performance for the money. I’d much rather have Catsnake in my system than Vodka. And for the very same reason I’d have Catsnake over Neet 1008. In fact on balance I’d have Vodka over Neet if I was forced to choose between the two.
As many have said it’s the balance of your system that’s important. One change can often ruin the musical and emotional enjoyment.
There’s probably a hundred people on here running a Farad power supply to their switches but I’m struggling with mine as it’s not sounding as good as another supply I have. It’s just upset that very delicate balance I have achieved. There’s nothing wrong with the Farad it just has its strengths in other areas the don’t agree with my systems balance.
Couldn’t agree more @Geko. I have said so many times that the success of these network ‘peripherals’ is very system and ‘environment’ dependent.
A case in point is the Vodka. In my previous OC system in my previous lounge the Vodka was rather harsh and brittle on the last leg, with the remainder of the loom being CatSnake. Bizarrely, on my (lesser) NC200 system in my new lounge, the Vodka on the last leg (CatSnake elsewhere) is wonderful, bringing life and energy, but no harshness.
I am sure this variability holds true for other Ethernet cables, LPS’s and switches.
Thought of a thing. Have you tried the Audioquest from nas to PN and the Neotech from PN to streamer (at the same time of course). That would be interesting. I really thought you would get a different result. I have a feeling your system is cleaner with less noise because of the PN and the DCS.
problem with my neet3008, maybe being so stiff it drops out when moved or a puff of wind goes near it… one of the pins on one of the plugs is intermittent, so im being brave as i bought it used and ordered 2 new telegarten plugs and will have a go at re terminating - looks easy according to you tube!!
