Sounds very interesting ?

@KingRex Do you need to disclose any compensation received from TLS for your review?

I'd be interested in comparing one of these to a Cisco 2960 that I use. Where in Seattle are you? We're in the 23rd and Madison area. I suppose I could contact TLS and see if they'd do a demo, though I can't see myself paying for one. The Cisco did a lot of what you described and it was only $29! (new they're over $500). 

I'm in greenlake.  Reach out and in a personal note and maybe we can find time to get together.

???  I wish I got money or free goods.  I was told recently the way to free goods is to have them in your signature and post a lot.  I am not one of the lucky ones.  I bought all my stereo gear.

I only asked because TLS has had a policy of giving a CAT7 cable in exchange for reviews.

linear Solution Cable is only 6 feet Max.  My switch is in the network closet about 20 feet away.  I use cat 6 through out.  Adrian won't even make a cable longer than 6 feet.  I offered to pay but he said he could not shield it properly.

Interesting

I also have just put in my OCXO router from thelinearsolution. The improvement was not subtle. Lower noise floor, Blacker back ground, more transpancy, better separation, instrument just become so much more real. Singer voice become so much mor focused. Harmonic and rthym become continuous as noise were removed from songs.

 

Everybody that use streaming as main source of listening should give this router a try as it will definately improve your listening experience for the better. :-)

What router and power supply did did you previously have to make this comparison?

And how does this OCXO router fit into your system? E.g. are you using its WIFI function?

Has anyone used the Linear Solution TCXO Switch yet?

I was interested in trying one out and sent them a note using their contact form, but never heard back. Guess they're just not interested in new business.

Try emailing Adrian at [email protected].  If that still doesn't generate a response, please post to this thread, and I will let him know.

Which model of the 2960 do you use please? With which transceivers?

2960L-16PS, or something like that. It’s a recent version, mfg 11/2017. 16 port, full gigabyte model.

hi everyone, 

 

i ordered a TLS OCXO switch beginning of december  .; we are end of january and no news from the shipping ( not received a confirmation mail).  I received a mail  january 10 saying it was ready to ship but since then ...nothing

 did it take so long to receive yours ? should I start to worry  ?

 

regards

I have this switch and am planning on selling it, if anyone is interested - send me a PM (It works well with an external linear PSU).

This is the one I have:
