"Audiophile Grade" Ethernet Switches - The new generation

[baconbrain]

@David A Let me provide some examples of what I mean by a fair-minded position.  I can see a couple, which you may consider alternatives although they are not mutually exclusive:

1) UpTone's marketing material is "pseudoscience" (to use your term) and has nothing useful to say about the objective effect of the ER

2) ASR's test provides a data point indicating ER has no objective effect; in the absence of any other data points indicating that ER does have an objective effect, the default assumption should be that it doesn't (until/unless proven otherwise).

I believe you are raising a fair point. The ball appears to be in the manufacture's court at the moment.

One additional note from my side, I did not voice my thoughts in this thread with the intent of bashing a specific product or company. As mentioned previously, I believe the lack of data points to support various manufactures' claims (in particular with switchs) is not limited to Uptone.
