Sure there are a lot of hifi audio cables for your stereo system, but more money doesn't mean it's always better as any true audiophile will admit.
So how does the WireWorld Ethernet Audio Cables perform? Let's find out!
I discuss the way to get the best sound from your audio system and how to avoid the upgrade mistakes so many in hi-fi audio make with their high end audio system.
Check out my review to find out how I upgrade my audio system setup and why I think they are such a great value for a hifi ethernet cable and digital audio cables👉

If possible, you should review Shunyata products. Great Video

Thanks for watching. I've owned several of their products. They do make some nice things for sure.

Hola Michael, super enjoy your videos and the information you share about your experiments and journey. Thanks for sharing! I went ahead and ordered the 2x D-Link DGS-108 switches along with 1x 16 port DGS-1016D (which arrives on Friday!). I immediately installed the 2x 8 ports into my system and even without break-in the sound was transformed!! I could notice it even before I sat down to listen. Noticeable increases in clarity, much larger and cohesive soundstage, much better dynamics, etc. Instead of plugging the switches into a power conditioner, I used what I have: a power regulator on the router side and a PowerPlant on the streamer side and each 8 port switch with an iFi SilentPower iPower2 power supply. Will comment once everything breaks in and we have added the 16 port switch into the mix. I noticed that your 8 port switches look physically different. They have the DC power input on the rear. The DGS-108 I received have the power input on the side. So either they are a newer or older version of the same switch. Has anyone else commented on this? Thanks, Eric in Mexico!

That's great to hear! Both of mine have the plugs in the back.

Maybe later we could take pictures of the internal board. If the chipsets are the same, there should not be much of a sonic performance change. It is possible the IC board layout was changed for some reason. Thanks@@GreekAudioGeek

Another question I'd like your take on... What are your thoughts on "Burning in cables" and either turning your equipment off or keeping it on 24/7? Thanks

@ericmc6482 11 месяцев назад

Hi Michael, please give audio snippets, a modern smartphone mounted on a tripod at the listening position will give a perfectly good listen in on the points you are making. OCD HiFi Guy example auditions does this very well despite the perceived technical limitations of RU-vid video.

Which expensive cables have you compared to the stealth ?? Have you compres them to Shunyata upper range and AudioQuest? What about albedo cables Argent pur, and others

@GreekAudioGeek 9 месяцев назад

Hi - yes I have owned and compared to those.

Hi, I have a question about upgrading my internet connection to my MOON 390. I'm using a Netgear switch and is it really much better to use two D-Link DGS 108 switches? Have you tried the English Electric 8 Switch Audio for example? So what would you recommend? Thank you David

@GreekAudioGeek 8 месяцев назад

Every home is different, but in my system it did make a very noticeable change. I have not tried the EE switch.

@alexYT87462 11 месяцев назад

Hi Michael, have missed your reviews. Hope you are on frimly on the path to recovery. Quick question. Are you using OEM SMPS with the mass market/generic switches? I've exprimented with better quality power supplies and have found that sometimes they make more of an improvement than the choice of the genric switch &/or ethernet cable ie better sounding switch (all things being equal) with OEM SMPS < lesser switch with better quality power supply (eg ifi Elite or Plixir Elite BDC). Naturally in this game everything matters but so far my expriments are leading me to conclude the pecking order of impact (highest to lowest) as follows: 1) audiophile grade switch (eg PhoenixNet).... 2) high quality linear or SMPS power supply.....3) ethernet cables ......4) switch cascade combinations 5) choice of generic mass market switches. Particularly inetersting in corroborating findings on 2 vs #3 as cables can get quite expensive. Keep up the good work. Ps looking forward to the Luxman review!

@GreekAudioGeek 11 месяцев назад

Hello! Thank you - slowly but surely improving. I did try upgraded power supplies on the generic switches and noticed that when plugged into the Audio Quest 3 power conditioner (amzn.to/3qqPc4c) upgrading the power supplies on the cheap switches made minimal improvement. With no power conditioned the improvement was more noticeable, though no where near as good as using the AQ3. Note - power is such an individual issue that varies dramatically from one house to the next - so your experience may be different. I am running a high quality Telegartner M12 Premium switch and the cheap switches still add a significant implement. Thanks for watching!

Are the Waversa lan reference filter no longer going to be part of your current setup going forward?

@GreekAudioGeek 11 месяцев назад

Still use them in and out as I try gear and love them!

@justint6234 11 месяцев назад

Cool, looking forward to your further impressions on how neccessary it is as your network evolves.

@alex32009 10 месяцев назад

Do you plug the Luxman into the Puritan conditioner?

@GreekAudioGeek 10 месяцев назад

Hi - yes I do.

Have you used the transparent audio Ethernet cables

@GreekAudioGeek 7 месяцев назад

The last time I used Transparent cables was decades ago. I have not heard their current offerings.

@hvskyline1368 7 месяцев назад

@@GreekAudioGeek the hifi shop I go to has great deals on their stuff I got their hardwire speaker cables which are like 130 and their plus I think power cable for like 150 and they gave them both to me for 175 and I heard transparent sounded best when your whole system uses them

@GreekAudioGeek 7 месяцев назад

Glad you are enjoying them!
