RE: Alan Sircom review of Phantom Gold - Jamington2004 - 14-Jan-2017 Thanks Jonny Dev for the tip. Placement of dialogue in a different part of the room to the phantoms makes this tricky but I do plan to try it I even bought a long and a short Ethernet cable before realising BOTH phantoms and dialogue had to plug into the router together! The phantoms currently connect to PLC - do you think dialogue still need to be on the same power block as the phantoms?

Placement of dialogue in a different part of the room to the phantoms makes this tricky but I do plan to try it Hi jamington2004, When my dialog was not on the same powerblock and the phantoms connected to PLC, the difference was big when i changed that to the same (cheap) powerblock. Before that the sound was good, but a lot better on the same powerblock. The sound became fuller and everything came on the right place (i think a had a little timeshift between the phantoms) After installing the cat700 and playing to ethernet and not by PLC the difference was huge. Just how i wanted it. I never had before a "high end" sound like that! And the last 40 years i had a lot expensive high end in my houses RE: Alan Sircom review of Phantom Gold - Johnnydev - 14-Jan-2017 (14-Jan-2017, 01:46)MountainGuy Wrote: What about using the golds with your setup? Hi mountainguy, I think the company’s own DAC embedded in the ADH chip in the golds are better with WIFI and PLC then the silvers and that's why i think the difference with the silvers on ethernet cables is so big The cat700 forrest is a good improvement and not so expensive 13,75 euro/mtr. and then 2 telekartner plugs a 22,50 euro RE: Alan Sircom review of Phantom Gold - Jamington2004 - 14-Jan-2017 Ok so I think they choose first Ethernet - then PLC - then wifi depending on availability / stability So with that rationale - if I jump straight to full Ethernet between all 3 devices there is no need to have them on the same powerblock I guess? And I get the best sound according to your experience Will give it a crack once I find a splitter and report back if I hear the same big jump as you RE: Alan Sircom review of Phantom Gold - Johnnydev - 14-Jan-2017 (14-Jan-2017, 12:16)Jamington2004 Wrote: Ok so I think they choose first Ethernet - then PLC - then wifi depending on availability / stability Thanks, i have the D- link DGS 108 as splitter/switch |
