Does anyone know a way to touch up a scratch on the TC. The finish I stronger than the original but is still pretty susceptible to scratches. Mine brushed up against the wall while I was trying to connect something in my rack and some of the finish on the edge rubbed off.

Contact Joe and see if he can give you a little of of the black he uses and touch up with a nail polish brush.

I don't know how it will blend in and how noticeable it will be.

I had reached out to him about this before for a pair that I was thinking about buying before I bought my pair new. He said that the only way to repair the finish was to replace the part or send it in to get refinished. I will just live with it I am just a bit anal about this small things like that.

The EtherRegen will make a big difference, but if you don't have a linear power supply it won't sound as good as it can. Big difference.

Oh goodie more ways to spend money!
Which LPS did you pair yours with?

Uptone sells one. UltraCap LPS. It's about $400.00.

I have a Keces P8. You can two different components off of it. It's $700. They have a smaller version about the same price as the Uptone.

Honestly, any LPS is much better than the wall wart that any component requiring a DC power supply comes with.

I googled it after you posted it. I see there is such a tube. Usually Sylvania is associated with Bad Boy.

If you ever can get your hands on Tung Sol Round Plate Black Glass you're in for a treat. You're wallet won't.

Are these the tubes
you're referring to?

Yep. That's a very high price for them. They should be in the $400 - $450 range. Also they don't say if they have been tested and how strong they are.

A couple of years ago they were less than half that price.

I thought for the EtherREGEN you didn't need a linear power supply. I'm considering buying the EtherREGEN, so I'll make sure to buy another LPS from them as well. Thanks for the info

it doesn’t “need” one. It’s just better with one. When you look at the back you will see it takes a 12v DC wall wart power cable. Plug the LPS there instead.

I have farad super3 for etherregen(ER) feeding modded metrum ambre (pi4b4gb & audiolinux)/Pavane. I wish I could try abyss TC on my system.I had tried susvara & phi cc a year back & preferred former (not on my system tho).
Edit: A dedicated LPS & ER has improved my system to unbelievable levels. Now, a TOTL flagship is required.

Have you try compare Farad Super3 with stock PS or other LPS? If you have, is it possible to share your impressions?

Hello
Plz check your PM as this is not the right place to discuss LPS/ER.
Thanks

(for some reason the quote function is not working)

For the etherREGEN, what cables are you all using on both sides? The SOtM Cat 7 filtered ones on both sides? Supra Cat8 on one side and the SOtM on the other? Different cables?

 

[ken6217]

For me, I’m using SOtM Cat 7 filtered from the switch and a Synergistic Research into the switch.

I did receive yesterday a Shunyata sigma ethernet cable I’m going to try that in place of the SOTM.

 

[ray-dude]

I ended up with the Cable Matters CAT8 cables (see survey results below). To keep this on topic, part of the listening tests were done with my new Abyss TC's

I suggest EtherRegen discussions (cables and power supplies) go to the linked forum below

Try pulling the power plug on your router and the switch, and then turn the power on the router, and then once that connects power on the switch. See if that work
