M12 Gold Switch

[Marcin_gps]

I replaced the Gold with the Premium.

Compared to the Gold, the Premium has more resolution (especially in the low frequencies) and better sound extraction.

The input DC voltage range has been changed from 18V to 27V DC, so those using an external DC power supply should be careful.

It works very well and stable here with 12V PSU.

Mr. Iwamoto, the president of Telegaertner Japan, told me the imrpovements also come from integrating better vibration countermeasures.

do you mean Premium switch can operate at 12v without any problems?

Hi Marcin,

Thanks for your advice.
It also worked fine in my environment with 12V DC.

Correct.

Reviving this thread as I am currently exploring options of purchasing the M12 Premium + the Opt Bridge (replacing a system of an SOTM SNH-10G + Cybershaft OP19 OCXO clock + Sonore Optical module + 2 x Farad Super 3 LPS).

What I am not sure when I cost out the replacement system is how many of the tweaks identified by the members here (LPS - JCAT or Plixir)/Sablon cables/grounding/vibration isolation) are still needed with the Premium switch (versus the gold switch). Any advice from members using the premium switch + bridge combo is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Late reply. Not exactly the same config, but you can draw your own conclusions.

I use an EtherRegen with external LPS to convert to fiber, then an SOtM switch with external power supply and a Mutec SE clock feeding it.

My best result was just adding the Telegartner switch with an external power supply between the SOtM and my streamer.
