content: Disappointing.I would add a built in compass and clinometer in order to align it properly to the Earth magnetic field and I would charge $5000 instead.

content: Looking at their website they seem to have everything:https://www.synergisticresearch.com/accessories/ethernet-switch-uef/Oversized audifool power cable and connector, low noises fuses, earth filtering, ground filtering stuff.QuoteBuzzword bullshit: Powercell, EM Cell, Tranquility Base isolation, Active EM Cells, bias system ground, Active Ground Block, FEQ and Atmosphere ULF Field Generators, transformational product, monumental strides, spacial and holographic realism, harmonic texture, flat and bleached, Active EM Cell technology, UEF Tech applications.QuoteI wonder why they measure one bundle in meters, another in feet and the other in inches.

content: The other audiophoolery ethernet switches are usually around 250 or 300 US$, and simply off-the-shelf unmanaged 5 or 8 port GigE switches for 20-30 bucks plus some minor changes and a lot of audiophoolery nonsense buzzwords. This one comes with an integrated PSU (instead of the usual wallwart) and a custom enclosure. So it's clearly the next higher level of audiophoolery which justifies 2500 US$.
