Ran my ethernet cable through a fiber optic conversion and back to ethernet. For $186 including a low noise power supply for the clean end. Unbelievable improvement with respect to the noised floor. 2 TP-Link Gigabit SFP Modules 2 TP-Link MC220L Media Converters 1 Cable Matters Plenum Rated Duplex OS2 Single Mode Fiber Optic Patch Cable 1 Cable Matters 1 ft.

Don't disagree. Of all the things I have done (aftermarket power cords, power conditioner(s), DDC, new DAC) this was the most impactful. Not sure the bang for the buck is there for me. That, and after absorbing the costs for upgrading my amp, preamp and speakers, I need to scrounge up some funds for room treatments. I live in a loft and have an 18-foot high by 20-feet wide wall of glass and metal. To cover it, I am going to need a theater-grade set-up and it's not going t be cheap. I keep my wall warts and TV on a separate power conditioner. Since you mentioned wall warts, I use a Darlington Labs phono stage, and they recommend using their supplied wall wart. |
