Hugh not heroic, psychotic!! Deep rooted OCD! Lee, I tried my best with Multi Meter! Their is an Ohm section, on a MM if you touch one probe on the rod, where do you make contact with the other? I thought about touching the Rod and inserting the other probe deep into my ear canal!! Theoretically I could A/B. After installing the rod with the enhancement material and connect the 4 AWG, from the 2nd rod, I could remove it from the clamp and listen with and without connected to enhanced rod. I will do that after returning from the orthopedic surgeon!! When I reinstalled my new grounding system, (Ground Rods Have A Life Span) the old one as you can imagine very corroded and scaled after 20 plus years in the ground. It was still doing its thing for lightening , but my resistance was poor. The noise floor with my 6 dedicated circuits became lower. The system took on an improved delivery. Blacker, a stillness. As earlier indicated, you want to get as low as possible. But consistent is important too.
Shunyata omega Ethernet cable

Greetings all,
(Hopefully, back on the Omega Ethernet topic)
Can someone provide a more robust description of the sonic uplift experienced when inserting the Omega Ethernet cable. I am interested to know: if you lose any density, how the bass and mids are effected (for the better or the worse), if the tone tilts too much into the "bright" or "thin" realm, or any other detractor. Fingers crossed on all the above.
I have enjoyed the Omega USB (experiencing zero detractors, and no loss of density), and have an Omega Ethernet in my acquisition 'sights' in the very near future. Any description on the facets above, or, your sonic experience would be most appreciated.
Thank you!

I will ask @Lee to chime in. He was there for the A/b and can wordsmith an impression much better than i.
Been there! Enjoy. I have a Sigma, a AQ Cinnamon got me started.
Better bass, more resolution, vocals were less veiled, better definition of instruments.
I recently purchased a shunyata omega ethernet cable. I use it between a router and the audiophile switch. On the contrary to your description, I got more density, more bass not bright or thin. That said, I feel too much bass after using this ethernet cable. It could be other reasons so don’t take my word too much.
Greetings @TDX
Thank you kindly for the follow up on your experience using the Omega Ethernet. From your report, can we deduce you are enjoying it? Was it a good move for your system (and for the sound you are pursuing)?
Just to clarify, if you read my question above carefully (from April, 2022), I was "asking" for in-field feedback from other users of the Omega Ethernet to describe the sonic uplift they experienced when inserting an Omega Ethernet. In parallel, I provided my positive experience using the sibling Omega USB cable (which I did own at the time). So, in my question, I did not describe the sound of the Omega Ethernet cable, as I did not own it then. I was describing characteristics that I wanted to avert (avoid). Apologies if my question was confusing.
Since posting that question in April, 2022, I did subsequently purchase a Shunyata Omega Ethernet cable, and I found it to be a very good addition to my system. I found the sonic uplift to be all positive, with NONE of the sonic detractors that I was hoping to avoid. In hindsight, I believe this cable to be a very good contributor for my system's overall sound. As they say, everything matters and YMMV. Hope these clarifications are helpful.

No worries at all. I guess you’ve avoided all those words you listed and enjoyed the cable so far.
Hi Hugh,
sorry this is a reply to an old thread about Shunyata Omega Ethernet cable, I’m very interested to evaluate along with Omega USB.
I also use Statement Next Gen with PhoenixNET, MSB DAC (Premiere) in my case via ProUSB module.
Are you still happy with your Omega ethernet? Did you try connecting them between Phoenix and Statement or you found it works better upstream from router to switch? What second ethernet cable are you using?
Which Omega do you think is able to provide higher results between USB and Ethernet in the chain?
TIA
Hi sorry delayed response.
I have omega btwn router and Phoenix switch and switch to dac.
I started with a omega cable between the innous statement and the DAC with a cheap amazon cable btwn phoenix switch, and the router. I overlooked buying the cable. Soon as i put the new omega in it was a miraculous change, and I am not one to believe in pixie dust.
My experience mirrors @HughP3's experience and sentiment almost exactly.
I (too) first started with a SR Omega USB cable between my Innuos Server and my DAC, and enjoyed a wonderful SQ uplift; and, then later inserted a SR Omega Ethernet further up-stream between my PhoenixNET and my Server, and (after thorough cable break-in) never looked back. The SQ uplift of the Omega Ethernet cable was not subtle, and perhaps even "life audio changing", at least in in my system. YMMV. Highly recommended from here..!

The thing I like about this cable, that even the Omega USB did not do, is how much it relaxes the feel of the sound. Significantly more ease. I did not notice a huge improvement from stock to Sigma Ethernet, but with Omega it's hard to not notice how much better things sound and feel.
