”This winding patron is just wrong. With strong cores the problem is clear audible. I will show a better patron tomorrow”

* Look forward to that, thanks for sharing Wijnand!!

If you do not mind, a few questions came up. No rush.

* Why did Eric choose a specific pattern for his favorite choke cable instead of your choice? Also keep in mind that Eric’s audio equipment isn’t as resolving as yours, far from it I would say. (actually this is more a question for Tobias, do you know about the chosen pattern maybe? materials? he mentions nanocrystals. Or did he improve on it since?)

* Did you make any changes to the latest version of the core box? Are your friends already using it?

* I’ve been thinking about isolation, specifically UTP vs. STP/SFTP. You’ve chosen SFTP on both ends of the core box, connecting all devices through the cable shielding and with a copper ground cable. server + switch + (choke cable?) +  router. Can you explain why you chose this and if you’ve tried (partially) UTP or without ground cable connected?

* Regarding the cable shield at the server, typically it’s disconnected for better results, but you’ve done the opposite. Can you explain why, considering system dependence?
