    You obviously need to try the new ”SR Pink“ Fuse, that has just been announced.

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    @jasond, If I recall, I changed the fuse to a slow blow (T type), 2 amp. SR Purple. To be frank i just had a spare one and seemed semi-reasonable value to use. As my previous switch was consuming around 1 - 1.2 amps when connected to a 12 volt supply. Now 2 amp is probably a bit overrated if...

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    Hi Ken, it was great to read your findings. Thanks for sharing. Happy holidays....I forget that it's that time of the year because it's barmy weather season now in Australia, severe hot temperatures, hail the size of golf balls, cyclones, serious rain, bush fires...etc, etc.

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    I’m being generalist, so please read my comments in that fashion. yes there many usb “sticks” that help to cut noise (i have not tried too many). generally there seem to be two types, ones which have an output port and ones that don’t. The one with an output you plug the dongle into an usb port...

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    Hi @KPC - you are most welcome, hopefully some of the information I posted helped somewhat as well as others who have posted on this tread. Interesting product that SR Router. What I found is that if I doubled up on the switches, one switch after a standard router feeding ones audiophile switch...

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    The tempus is a universal voltage (remember it's a switch mode power supply so will work from 115v to 240v). But here in Australia the voltage is 240V.

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    Hi @jasond I use a rather nice power cord already - I use a Vertere HB mains power cord terminated with the latest Furutech NCF plugs, and the power cord is then plugged into a power conditioner. On the last switch (Edision) I was quite surprised the effect a proper power cord had - so no going...

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    Hi @luca.pelliccioli, thanks for that, Yes, I'm aware of the CAD USB control. It's just that it was easier to get the Telos in Australia and cheaper. The only thing the Telos needs is an Active USB port to work with. Now the CAD does not require an active USB port, and since my CH C1.2 does not...

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    A small update from me. I tried the SFP on the Tempus as I mentioned yesterday. Not too much to report, expect that on direct comparisons with ethernet, I found it a touch soft (lets say the notes just a very small touch rounded, but thankfully not remotely sterile). Now at the same time I...

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    A small futher update from me, I was talking to NA just a short while ago and they said that the power supply is curicial to SFP performance and they done a great deal in the Tempus. So we were chewing the fat so to speak and Rich said try the SFP. My pink faun has an SFP card, so I got out the...

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    @luca.pelliccioli Hi Mate, thanks. I recommended reading this thread. I posted my finding on the Ethernet cables I use. (I don't have any experience with the Muon Pro cable). I think i have experience with the Pink faun Ethernet cable (I think I may have quote that in my post). (2) What...

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    @jasond I think the tempus has fully settled in now - I can't seem to detect any changes after 6 days of continuous use. When I posted my second impression, I though the sound was quite rich and organic and possibly just a smidgen dark, I think it was just going through an adjustment phase. The...

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    Hello Alan, Maybe I can help. Generally I found that SFP is very good connection and used it myself for a while. But on checking with a few people they preferred Ethernet (if implemented well) as personally when listened critically and compared I also found SFP a little lacking in emotional...
