I like the hex head bolt, though.

Dunno. But stainless steel bolts are not cheap to buy so there must be a reason for it to be @ the web site.

I don’t find the bolt objectionable.

But how to use in your audio system ? Ingest it ? Insert it ? Place it on your audio components ?

 

[egellings]

You hold the bolt in your hand and admire it while the music plays.

...think someone is using what they learned on Squarespace to, er, take the piss

It’s obviously to do do with -aligning your energy , honestly don’t you know nothing!
‘Reiki: the Japanese art of healing through energy realignment - shifting the energy balance - rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui 100 years ago and drawing on principles and practices going back 2500 years. ‘
£1.25 is pretty reasonable in the circumstances.

For all two ports lol.

Ummm, what the hell does a "two port" switch like this do? I have looked at the pictures and it only has two RJ45 ports, one marked "IN" and the other marked "OUT" So what is it actually switching?? The only other "two port" devices I can find actually have three RJ45 ports and are classified as "splitters". The vendor here is suggesting that this device be installed "pre streamer" so the path would be modem/router, this piece of junk and then the streaming device. I ask again, what does it actually do??

Ideally they want you to buy two:

Superswitch Master
Designed to be installed just before your streamer to ensure that the latter receives the cleanest possible signal.

Superswitch Servant
Designed to be connected to your router to isolate any other (typically non-audio) devices from the audio path

(this is not for me)

There is a connection diagram at the bottom of the page.

As you will be well aware, the recent thread on PFM was pure gaslighting.

From the available images, it looks like the other ports have been covered over, rather than being just a two port switch.

I'm thinking the same thing. This product has to be an elaborate joke of some kind?

Nigel and Nick are the audio equivalent of, Del and Rodney, apologies to non UK residents.

Be careful inserting bolts. I know it is a private thing to do, I'm just giving out a public service announcement. ER docs don't want to see a bolt on the x-ray!

Intriguing that they decided not to sell nuts.
