Synergistic Research Announces Their New Ethernet Switch UEF- Bundle Special Offers

Applying the technologies originally developed for their Powercell line of power line conditioners, and subsequently incorporated into several of their other products including the Tranquility Base isolation platforms and their Active Ground Block grounding systems, the latest product from Synergistic Research is an Ethernet Switch with active EM conditioning. The "Ethernet Switch UEF" ($2295 - add $300 for 230v) promises a substantial upgrade to the performance of digital music systems which rely on an ethernet distribution box, something designed for computers of course, and therefore ignoring audiophile concepts of isolation, shielding, and the importance of the power supply. 

We first came to appreciate the sonic importance of the ethernet switch with the release of the English Electric 8Switch ($595). Now the Synergistic Research switch promises a further elevation in performance. In addition to the EM Cell to condition the signal and act as a built in Tranquility Base, this new switch addresses vibration by incorporating carbon fiber into the chassis, which is milled from a solid billet of aluminum. The device is fused for protection, and Synergistic's best Orange Fuse is included as well. (NOTE: SR Orange Fuses are on Buy 2 Get 1 Free promo this month.)

We have samples on order for the Cable Company Library from the first factory production and (once we have a chance to listen ourselves:-) encourage your in-home audition.

For the launch Synergistic is offering two categories of money saving "bundles."
