Today, you buy any gear with dealer cost in any place. regardless JCAT.
Yes, you are exactly correct. If that bothers you, then I suggest that you put me on ignore and don’t listen to anything that I say. I have no problem with that.

I wish you all the best.

I have had my M-12 switch for a few weeks and it sounds wonderful. Who would have thought a switch could make such an improvement.
Well, yesterday I received and installed the JCAT Optimo 3 Duo Linear Power Supply. Wow again! Immediately! It is 12 v and two rails, and Marcin made me the beautiful cable for the M12 as well as one for my Verizon Modem (why not I had the extra rail on the power supply, and it would not do the 18v for my Nucleus (already with an HDPLEX PS). It is beautiful craftsmanship and has again opened up my soundstage and more clearly focused the instruments / voices. It just sounds better. I think this power supply is a good deal compared to inferior less expensive ones or considering the cost of a Sean Jacobs etc. I am also eyeing his new Streamer! Customer service with JCAT is top notch.
Thank you Marcin! Ken

When I connected the m12 gold first time, I was really disappointed. and I couldn’t believe that this one was known as the best switch out there.

Firstly I tried to isolate vibration with magnesium alloy foot and changed power supply with Lithium-ion Phosphate Battery pack designed for audiophile which is from 13.5v to 10v natually diminishes. (the best point of the voltage was 10v) It came with a wide open sound stage, hugely noticeable difference.

And secondly when I changed the telegartner ethernet cables with the sablon ethernet 2020 for m12 gold, beautiful musicality followed up instantly. I can not get away with the impact of the m12 gold now. I am loving it.

Orange flashing is the indication of 100mb. Green flashing is 1000mb.
I hope you find the best outcome with M12 gold soon.
Just wonder, telegartner ethernet cables come with product , not even as good as sablon ethernet 2020 ?

If you google ‘M12D connector‘ then you will find a number of sellers locally. There are other brands available besides TG.

Thank you, order one from Texas already. I used to buy parts from Digikey. However, this time use wrong search key word. only 1404644 will get the right part.

Telegartner Japan will launch a better switch dedicated to network audio.
It's called M12 Switch Premium :

The M12 Gold is attractive for its musicality but some may consider it a bit laid back.
The new Premium is said to be more energetic.

Perhaps a combination of M12 Premium and Gold yields to best of both worlds! The choice of 24V power supply for M12 Premium is a head scratcher for me.
